7、 Leonardo da Vinci, was on display; there was an empty space where the painting should have been. The next day headlines all over the world announced the theft. Actually the Leonardo had been long gone. The museum was always closed on Mondays for maintenance (维修). Just before closing time on Sunday

8、three men had entered the museum, and hid themselves in a storeroom. Early next morning, they took the painting and left. Nothing was seen or heard of the painting for two years until Perrugia tried to sell it to a dealer for half a million lire. Perrugia was arrested and imprisoned for seven months

9、. It seemed that the crime of the century had been solved. But had it? Perrugia claimed all responsibility for the theft, and it was twenty years before the whole story came out. In fact Perrugia had been working for Valfierno and Chaudron, who went unpunished for their crime. They would offer to st

10、eal a famous painting from a gallery (美术馆) for a dishonest dealer or private collector. They would then make a copy of the picture and, with the help of bribed (受贿的) gallery workers, would then attach the copy to the back of the original painting. The dealer would then be taken to the gallery and ma

11、ke a secret mark on the back of the painting. Of course the dealer would actually be marking the copy. After having been given the marked painting, if the dealer were to see the painting still in the gallery, he would be persuaded that it was a copy, and that he possessed the genuine one. This time,

12、 however, they stole the original. Before Perrugia was arrested, Valfierno and Chaudron had gone to New York. Valfierno told the story to a journalist in 1914, on condition that it would not be published until his death. Does the story end there? Collectors have claimed that Perrugia returned a copy

13、. It is also possible that Leonardo may have painted several versions of the Mona Lisa ,or they might be copies made by Leonardos pupils. There has been a lot of argument about the painting which is more than 500 years old, but after all, maybe thats what shes smiling about.1.The Mona Lisa was stole

17、e almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the communit

18、y than the common labourer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or labourer of some sort. This attitude toward manual (体力的) labour is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home

19、that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children, yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it h

20、erself and will wash dishes afterwards; furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A

21、 professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may wor

25、our.C.Characteristics of American Culture.D.The Development of Manual Labour.D Zebra crossings (斑马线) 一 the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by

26、 the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Swedens Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across. Now a mother-daughter team in

27、Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corpo

28、ration was looking for a creative solution to help the citys residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs of wood on the streets in Taizhou, China, decided to test if a

29、 similar way would work in India,Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the citys most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly

30、 and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common

31、 throughout India and perhaps even the world. So lets look forward to it.1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.B.Common zebra crossings dont function well.C.Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.D.About 95% of the drivers choose

32、 to speed up when approaching zebra crossings.2.Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2?A.Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.B.Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.C.Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for

33、breaking the traffic rules.D.Because the drivers dont want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.3.The last paragraph is mainly about .A.the theory of the 3D zebra crossingsB.the popularity of the 3D zebra crossingsC.the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossingsD.the positive effect of the

34、3D zebra crossings4.What is the authors attitude towards the 3D zebra crossings?A.Cautious.B.Doubtful.C.Approving.D.Disapproving. Brain fitness has basic principles: variety and curiosity.
