She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum(盧浮宮) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(視覺) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.  
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louver by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces

The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions
British actor Richard Grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave

Over the next two hours，the judge entered a period of “incredible madness”．He began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone．
When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants(被告) present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they  had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail(監(jiān)獄).

When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone，Restaino replied：“I know it isn’t．

Fourteen of the defendants were shackled(束縛 )in irons and sent to the county jail．
The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46．
The “two hours of viral lunacy（瘋狂）”, has probably cost Restaino his job．The commission ruled that he should be removed from his $14,000 job．Restaino now has 30 days to appeal(上訴)．

FDA proposed the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more cautious in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe (瓜），and leafy greens.
The long-overdue regulations are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodbome illness. Just since last summer, outbreaks of listeria (李氏桿菌）in cheese and salmonella(沙門氏菌）in peanut butter, cantaloupe and mangoes have been linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher.
The FDA’s proposed rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination (污染）,to include making sure workers5 hands are washed, irrigation (灌溉） water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean.
Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in some of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives ，for example, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at the Colorado farm where the cantaloupes were grown. In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses ，inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout a New Mexico peanut processing plant and multiple obvious safety problems ，such as birds flying over uncovered trucks of peanuts and employees not washing their hands.
Under the new rules, companies would have to lay out plans for preventing those sorts of problems and how they would correct them.
“The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen/，said Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner for foods

  1. 1.

    The main task of FDA is probably______

    1. A.
      to protect and promote the public health
    2. B.
      to help those sickened recover
    3. C.
      to research on food safety measures
    4. D.
      to deal with water pollution
  2. 2.

    According to the passage, the new rules focus on_____

    1. A.
      inspecting the whole process of food production
    2. B.
      improving food processing equipment on farms
    3. C.
      preventing water pollution in food production
    4. D.
      urging food companies to lay out plans
  3. 3.

    What does the word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    1. A.
      Inspectors
    2. B.
      Farmers
    3. C.
      Manufacturers
    4. D.
      Workers
  4. 4.

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    1. A.
      The new regulations should have come into practice earlier
    2. B.
      The 2011 outbreak of listeria is the most serious ever
    3. C.
      Farmers and food companies are strongly against the new rules
    4. D.
      Colorado and New Mexico are worst hit by food pollution

In Daniel Gilbert’s 2006 book "Stumbling(跌撞) on Happiness," the Harvard professor of psychology looks at several studies and concludes that marital(婚姻的) satisfaction decreases after the birth of the first child and increases only when the last child has left home. He also declares that parents are happier grocery shopping and even sleeping than spending time with their kids.
The most recent comprehensive study on the emotional state of those with kids shows us that the term "bundle of joy" may not be the most accurate way to describe our kids. "Parents experience lower levels of emotional well-being, less frequent positive emotions and more frequent negative emotions than their childless peers," says Florida State University’s Robin Simon, a sociology professor.
Simon received plenty of hate mail in response to her research，which isn’t surprising. Her findings shake the very foundation of what we’ve been raised to believe is true. In a recent NEWSWEEK Poll, 50 percent of Americans said that adding new children to the family tends to increase happiness levels. But which parent is willing to admit that the greatest gift life has to offer has in fact made his or her life less enjoyable?
Is it possible that American parents have always been this disillusioned(有幻覺的)? In pre-industrial America, parents certainly loved their children, but their kids also served a purpose—to work the farm, contribute to the household. Today, we have kids more for emotional reasons, but an increasingly complicated work and social environment has made finding satisfaction far more difficult. Raising children has not only become more complicated, it has become more expensive as well. The National Marriage Project’s 2006 report says that parents have significantly lower marital satisfaction than nonparents because they experienced more single and child-free years than previous generations.
As for those of us with kids, all the news isn’t bad. Parents still report feeling a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives than those who’ve never had kids. And there are other rewarding aspects of parenting that are impossible to quantify

  1. 1.

    What’s the main idea of the book Stumbling on Happiness?

    1. A.
      Parents are happier shopping than looking after their children
    2. B.
      Once they have children, the couples can never be as happy as before
    3. C.
      Compared with their childless peers, parents are leading a sad life
    4. D.
      The adding of children at home brings down marital satisfaction
  2. 2.

    What can we infer from Para.3?

    1. A.
      The Newsweek Poll shows that people think Prof. Simon’s finding is right
    2. B.
      Many people can’t accept the fact that they are not happy with their children
    3. C.
      It isn’t surprising that Professor Simon’s controversial research made her famous
    4. D.
      Simon’s findings are based on the belief passed down from generation to generation
  3. 3.

    What can we learn about American’s families in the past?

    1. A.
      People had very good parents-children relationship in the family
    2. B.
      Having children could be partly out of some practical purposes
    3. C.
      Parents loved their children but they still asked them to work a lot
    4. D.
      Children had to work very hard to make their parents love them
  4. 4.

    What’s the author’s opinion about having children?

    1. A.
      The author doesn’t think having children is a good thing to the family
    2. B.
      The author feels children make the life of a family happy
    3. C.
      The author thinks parenting can still be rewarding in a certain way
    4. D.
      The author believes that parents sacrifice a lot for having children

In-line skating（滾軸溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（護具）.
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap（綁緊）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（緊貼）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.

Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there

  1. 1.

    According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?

      Find a class and skate fast
    3. C.
      Relax and have fun
    4. D.

    1. A.
      skate fast
    2. B.
      brake
    3. C.
      fall safely
    4. D.
      put on gear

    To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and _________

    1. A.
      turn your foot
    2. B.
      press your right heel down
    3. C.
      put your wrists out in front
    4. D.
      tighten your skates

From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 1 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to take part in the elections,2 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it3 to win a school election. I was depressed.
As I cried in my room that evening, I4 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school — and I would win.

I realized that the girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to9 them.
