The document is a reading evaluation test about a virtual reality exhibit called "Seasons of a Tree". It describes the exhibit which featured an ever-changing tree meant to look slightly blurred. It then discusses two characters, one a newcomer to the art field and the other an artist, admiring the exhibit and discussing how it is radical and new medium that could change art. The test then asks the reader multiple choice and true/false questions about details in the passage.

General instructions:
 Read the following text about a virtual reality world online
and then answer the questions given.
-There was only one exhibit, but it dominated the room. A discreet brass plaque gave
its title: 'Seasons of a Tree'.
The Tree itself was an oak, I think - it's not really my area. Full size, fully grown. It
appeared to be just putting out the first leaves of spring. And it was ever so slightly
blurred. Not so much as to be obvious, but as you stared at it your eyeballs started to
ache, and then you realised that you were constantly trying to focus properly. It was as
if the light around the Tree had been slightly greased.
- "What do you think?"
-I turned round, mildly surprised to be addressed. I don't get invited to many of these
functions, and tend to be a bit of a wallflower when I do. I'm a newcomer in this field,
a hanger-on and an eavesdropper to the conversations of the Great and the Wise.
-But, having said that, there were surprisingly few guests for such a prestigious event -
and many of those were there 'in light only'. Nor were there as many famous faces, -
real or holo-projected, as I would have expected.
- "I'm impressed," I replied cautiously. "It's - dramatic. Different. Totally unique, of
course." Out of the corner of my eye I saw that the Tree was now fully leaved,
radiating that quality of green that nature does so well and artists struggle to imitate.

2. - "Anything else, Mr - Garden, is it?" "Gardine," I corrected carefully, smiling to
show that I wasn't offended. "I edit an Art Netzine - Insights."
He gave a polite smile to show that he'd never heard of it, or of me, which I fully
expected. I was trying hard to think of his name. I was sure that that flat, hard-edged
face was familiar, but I couldn't place it.
- "Well, the most exiting thing about this exhibition," I continued, "is that it's
something totally new in Art. I mean, this is the first completely new medium to be
devised in - centuries, at least. It's radical! It's going to break the mould and let in some
fresh air and new light!" As I spoke, I could feel the genuine enthusiasm breaking out
from inside me. "This is exactly what Art needs just now, now more than ever -
something to turn it upside down!"
