It was August in Paris. Most Parisians were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were empty and restaurants were closed.

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue(队伍). I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance (提前). However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre(卢浮官), there had been a very long line.

It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check(安检). As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The line moved forward slowly and silently. It's just like a trip to Ikea. You only need some glasses. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.

The only sign（迹象）the Mona Lisa was close was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster（布告）outside the pen（围栏）warned, “The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep your visit short and sweet to give everyone a chance to meet her.”

“How short is short and sweet?” I wondered. Very short, it turned out.

My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to go. "One photo and go," they said. I tried to take a selfie（自拍）, but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue slowly moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.

I was almost alone as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn't help wondering: Why are we so eager to see the Mona Lisa? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just "checking in" at the “popular” attractions?

1.The author(作者)went to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa__________.

A.on a Saturday morning in July B.on a Saturday afternoon in July

3.How many people were allowed to see the Mona Lisa at a time?

A.No more than nine people. B.No more than ten people.

C.No more than 22 people. D.No more.than 30 people.

4.We can learn from the article that_________.

A.the author had never seen the Mona Lisa before

B.most Parisians are not interested in the Mona Lisa

C.the author failed to take a selfie in front of the Mona Lisa

We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves.They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know,and understand what others tell them.They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood.They learn history to know something about human beings they meet every day.What they learn at school is,of course,quite useful,but is that the only reason（原因） why they go to school?

No.There is more in education than just learning facts.We go to school,above all,to learn how to learn,so that when we have left school,we can continue to learn.A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful,because whenever he has to do something new,he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way.The uneducated person,on the other hand,is either unable to do something new,or does it badly.So the purpose（目的）of school is not just to teach the students these useful subjects but teach the way to learn.
