We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world.

And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.

His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.

Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “Shen”.

According to Shen, it is the kidney (肾) that adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through.

Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the Shen system slows the aging process.

We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache,weakness in general, and wrinkles. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.

So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low-calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?

This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.

1.How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?

A. By studying Western medicine.

B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.

C. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.

D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.

2.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?

A. Medical treatment.

B. People’s good kidney.

C. Level of people’s activity.

D. Positive life attitude.

3.The reason why people become old is that ________.

A. their bodies produce T-cells

B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases

C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair

D. they become weaker and weaker

4.We can probably learn from the passage that ________.

A. producing more low-calorie food allows people to keep young

B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health

C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body

D. it remains unknown how effective Dr.Shen’s herbal medicine is

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. 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 Louvre museum(卢浮宫博物馆)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 the 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(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail, 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 Louvre 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.

Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.

1.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.

A．is losing its value

B．is being damaged after so many years

C．is getting more valuable with years passing

D．will rot away

2.Experts haven’t any repairs on the Mona Lisa because______.

A．it is now in a poor chemical state

B．they don’t know how to replace the wooden panel

C．they don’t have the materials Da Vinci used

D．they are afraid it will be done further damage.

3.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_______.

A．by indirect vision

B．at a distance

C．by direct vision

D．in shadows

4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.

A．many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa

B．people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.

C．some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.

D．Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.
