On May 7th, 1970, London, a young man met a girl who first arrived in London. The young man was studying MBA at London Business School. He was about to graduate and become a nine-to-fiver. However, his life was going to change because of the girl in front of him. The two of them fell in love when they first met and they got married a year later.

Among all the pen productions, writing brush (máo bǐ) is a kind of special writing tool made in China mainly. Archaeologists(考古学家) said that writing brush or some pens like brush first appeared more than 5000 years ago. It wasn’t widely used until the Warring States Period (476BC-221BC). Hengshui, Xuancheng and Huzhou were three centers for making writing brushes in Chinese history. People in the hometown of writing brush—Hengshui—still celebrate the invention of brush every year.

________ Materials(材料) for the head part includes rabbit hair, horse hair, pig hair and so on. If you want to buy a Chinese brush as a gift for your friends, you can choose the one with soft hairs, mixed hairs or hard hairs according to their writing styles. There’s also a tradition that Chinese people like to make a writing brush from the first haircut a baby gets. It’s believed that a writing brush made from the hair of new born babies will bring good luck while taking exams. As for stalks(笔杆), normal materials are usually wood, but we can also see some special ones made from ivory, gold and some other valuable materials.

It is considered that writing brush is the most important one among Four Treasures of Chinese Study. The other three are ink stick, paper, and ink stone. In Chinese calligraphy(书法) and Chinese painting, writing brush is widely used. In old China, children had to learn calligraphy and try to write a good hand. Even the emperors(皇帝) themselves were good at calligraphy. Nowadays, Chinese people still practice calligraphy with writing brush from a very young age. When writing, many calligraphers will forget all worries and even themselves, turning all thoughts into the beauty of art. People think it helps improve a person’s temper(脾气). It is not only a means of communication, but also a means of expressing a person’s inner world.

Who was the most talented person that ever lived? It might be Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian was a painter, sculptor (雕塑家) and inventor. This year, we celebrated his 566th birthday on April 15th.

Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa which still sits in the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫), is one of the greatest art works of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious(神秘的) smile. What is the reason for the woman’s smile? This is a question always asked, but it remains unanswered to this day.

Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her teeth! We will never know for sure… It is just fun to guess!

But the new research from scientists showed that some people even think she isn’t smiling but looks unhappy. The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.

The researchers showed 43 people two groups of pictures. Group One all had neutral(中性的) faces. Group Two had happy and angry faces. Each time, people saw two pictures, one from Group One, the other from Group Two. Later, they described what the neutral faces were like. When people saw a neutral face after a happy face, most of them thought it was smiling. When they saw a neutral face after a sad face, most of them thought it had a sad expression. Scientists believe our brain has predictive (预测性的) power. People use their past experiences to predict what they are going to experience next.

“________” said Erika Siegel, one of the researchers. “However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.”

1.According to the passage, Leonardo da Vinci ________.

A.was also a writer when he was alive B.is still known as a great painter

C.was born on April 15th, 1462 D.studied in Italy but worked in Paris

2.Some people think Mona Lisa is a portrait of Da Vinci himself because ________.

A.Mona Lisa is actually a man but not a woman

B.most of Da Vinci’s paintings were about himself

C.some expressions were in the way he once painted himself

D.Mona Lisa lost her teeth and so did Da Vinci

3.Which might be the missing sentence in the last paragraph?

A.Different people get different feelings while seeing the Mona Lisa.

B.If you see the Mona Lisa after you fail your exam, you may think she is sad.

C.The expression of the Mona Lisa is always changing.

D.People always like the Mona Lisa’s smile.

4.From the passage, we can infer that ________.

A.Mona Lisa is the only painting of Da Vinci in Louvre museum

B.we can have the same opinion on the Mona Lisa’s smile no matter how we feel that day

C.people are just guessing but still don’t know the exact reason for the Mona Lisa’s smile

D.if you see the Mona Lisa after having a pleasant talk with friends, you may see the smile

5.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①= Para. 1　　 ②=Para. 2　 ③=Para. 3　　 ④=Para. 4　 ⑤=Para. 5　 ⑥=Para. 6　　 ⑦=Para.7 )

A.①②;③④;⑤⑥⑦ B.①;②③④⑤⑥;⑦ C.①②③④;⑤⑥;⑦ D.①②;③④⑤;⑥⑦

With the development of Internet and the increasing needs for taxis, online car-hailing(网约车) is becoming more and more popular in China. Didi is used by most Chinese people, and Uber, Yidao, Shenzhou are also welcomed by passengers.

It’s easy for us to hail a car through certain apps. Open the app, and it will locate(定位) your address. After entering where you are going, the app will help you find the nearest personal car owners or taxi drivers. You can choose different kinds of services on the app. For example, if you choose tailored taxi(专车) service, the car is usually big and new. The driver will open the door for you and offer free water and Wifi. If it rains, an umbrella is usually provided. If you choose “hitch”(顺风车), the car owner nearby can give you a ride according to his own routes(路线). And you should pay him to share the cost. Of course, it costs less than hailing a taxi. No matter what kinds of service you choose, you don’t have to pay by cash. You can pay by Wechat or Alipay.

Although car-hailing has a lot of advantages, some people are still worried about its safety. Earlier last month, a young girl passenger was killed by a “hitch” driver on her way home in Zhengzhou. It’s not the first time the passenger gets hurt while using Didi. This news quickly became hot and many people discuss it online now. Some people doubt if it is illegal(合法的) for personal cars to work as taxis in China. Others think young girls should think twice while choosing “hitch”, especially at night. But most people think government must make some strict rules for car-hailing services, including restrictions(限制) about drivers’ hukou, age, job experiences and car age. “We need to listen to the suggestions from society, and perfect it in practice.” said some experts, “What is for sure is that the competition in the future lies in safety and service. Whoever can provide better user experience will win.”

1.Is Didi used by most Chinese people?

________________________________

2.How does the app know where you are after you open it?

_____________________________________

3.What is the difference between “tailored taxi” and “hitch”?

______________________________________

4.After the killing, will you still choose online car-hailing service? Why or why not?
