26、

Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter, spent about 15 years completing the Mona Lisa. He said it was one of his favourite paintings. It was so precious(珍贵的) to him that he kept it for himself until he died in 1519.

Leonardo da Vinci never revealed who was the model of the painting. Since his death, many people have tried to find out, and some people even suggest it is a self-portrait(自画像) of Leonardo da Vinci. One thing most Mona Lisa fans agree on is that it is her mysterious smile that makes the painting so special.

Who is the real Mona Lisa? It’s a question that has puzzled historians for centuries, and now historians think they may actually be a step closer to solving the mystery or one of the world’s most famous paintings. A group of experts have opened a tomb in the Italian city of Florence in the hope of finding some DNA samples(样本) which they think may hold the clue they need. The tomb is thought to contain the family of a woman called Lisa Gherardini. Historians think Lisa is buried in the nearby convent of Saint Ursula, where records show she died in 1542. They have recovered(复原) the bodies of three women from the convent, but they have been unable to make sure which body is Lisa’s.

27、

“Who are you?” asked the little prince (王子).

“I am a fox (狐狸),” said the fox.

“Come and play with me,” said the little prince. “I am so unhappy.”

“I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I am not tamed.”

“I am looking for men,” said the little prince. “What does that mean—‘tame’?”

“To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” said the fox.

“I am beginning to understand,” said the little prince. “There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...”

“My life is very monotonous (单调的),” the fox said. “I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow (洞穴). And then look: you see the grain (谷物)-fields down there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think it will be so wonderful when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...”

The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.

“Please—tame me!” he said.

“One only understands the things that one tames,” said the fox. “Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me...”

“What must I do, to tame you?” asked the little prince.

“You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day...”

The next day the little prince came back.

“It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you...”

【1】At the moment he first saw the fox, the little prince was.

A. bored   B. Afraid C. worried D. unhappy

【2】According to the passage, the underlined word “tame” probably means.

A. to train somebody to obey you

B. to ask somebody to attack you 

C. to keep somebody waiting for you

D. to prevent somebody needing you

【3】What will probably bring the fox back the thought of the little prince?

A. Bread.   B. Chickens. C. Grain. D. Wind.

【4】The last four paragraphs are mainly about.

A. the ways the little prince tames the fox

B. the causes the little prince tames the fox

C. the purposes the little prince tames the fox

D. the best time the little prince tames the fox

【5】What can we infer (推测) from the passage?

A. The fox wanted a friend.

B. The little prince was looking for the fox.

C. Men can buy friendship in the wheat fields. 

D. It is good to meet the fox at different times of a day.

Why so many fires?

California is burning! Wildfires have spread across the US State since Oct 23 and smoke has filled its skies.

Take the Kincade Fire in northern California for example. It forced ( 迫 使 ) 200,000 people to e【1】its path within one  week. The state’s largest power (电力) company cut power to about 206,000 homes in order to s【2】 more fires from breaking out, CBS News reported.

California has seen many wildfires in recent years. Nine of the 10 biggest fires have happened since 2000, i【3】five since 2010, according to The New York Times.

Why is this? California has the perfect wildfire  c【4】, Park Williams,  a  US climate expert (气候专家), told The New York Times. It has dry air and high temperatures from spring through late fall. At the same time, seasonal winds blow across the state every year, causing the wildfires to spread q【5】and last for weeks.

Global warming has also made the fires worse in recent years. It has dried out the state’s trees and o【6】 plant life, causing them to burn more easily.

H 【7】have played a role as well. Burning campfires, garbage debris ( 碎 片 ),and cigarette butts (烟头) can easily cause wildfires. For example, one fire started last year when a car got a flat tire (漏气的轮胎). The car’s body met the road and sent out sparks (火花 ), starting a f【8】.

Lightning strikes (雷击) and volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) can also cause wildfires. However, people have caused 90 percent of California’s wildfires, according to the US National Park Service.

More about wildfires

Wildfires often happen in wooded areas in the US, Canada and Australia. They are also k 【9】 as forest fires or grass fires in Australia.

Wildfires can burn at over 900℃ and reach heights of more than 50 meters. They can move at speeds of up to 23 kilometers an hour, burning e【10】 – trees, brush, homes, even people – in their path.
