Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503.He was working on a special painting for a church at the time, but the church painting was not going well. An Italian businessman asked da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman’s second wife. This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa.
All in all, the Mona Lisa is a very good example of da Vinci’s work. Da Vinci uses darkness and light in a clever way in the painting.
Da Vinci loved science and maths. Right away a person can see that there is a lot of geometry in the Mona Lisa. The face of the Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls. Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.
The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony, and mountains can be seen behind her. Da Vinci loved to study rocks and mountains, so these can be seen over and over in his other paintings.
The woman is sitting with her knees to the side. Her head is turned to look out of the painting. Her hands are held together in front of her. This way of sitting is now used by many artists when they are painting a picture of a man or woman today.

Scientists are trying to make the deserts(沙漠) into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
Why is more and more land becoming deserts？Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important for dry places. Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become deserts more easily.

A. never have any plants or animals in them
B. can all be turned into good land before long (不久以后)
C. are becoming smaller and smaller
D. get very little rain
7. Small green plants are very important for dry places because ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ .

8. Land is becoming deserts little by little because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. plants can’t grow there
B. there is not enough rain
C. people haven’t done right things that scientists wish them to do
D. scientists know little about the deserts

D. More and more places are becoming deserts all the time.

One evening in October, Dr Berlin was having dinner when the phone rang. He went to answer it. It was Mrs. Green.
“Please, Dr Berlin, come to my house. I had a necklace on my desk and now it is gone.”
Dr Berlin hurried to the Green’s house. He arrived at eight o’clock. First he asked Mrs. Green. “When did you see the necklace last?”
“At seven o’clock, I took the necklace from my pocket and put it on the desk in my living room. Then I went to wash my hair. I came back at seven thirty and the necklace was gone.”
“I see,” Dr Berlin said, “Were you alone in the house?”
“No, my sister’s daughter, Nancy, is here, too. She’s a student at the university. Her parents live far away, so she lives here with me.”
“Let’s talk to Miss Nancy,” said Dr Berlin. Then he and Mrs. Green went to Nancy’s room.

“What have you been doing this evening?” Dr Berlin asked.
“I came home at six thirty, and went right to my room. I’ve been studying because I have an exam tomorrow. I’ve been sitting in that chair and reading all evening. I never got up and never left the room. But at seven fifteen I heard a sound, like somebody shutting the door. I didn’t go out to look for I was too busy. Maybe somebody came into the house and took my aunt’s necklace.”

. Dear sir,
The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Our capital, Beijing, which is a great
honor for all the Chinese. I hope sincerely to be a volunteer to make
contributions to this great event. Below is a brief introduction about myself.
I am 17 years old and now studying in a key middle school in Jiangsu Province.
I like English very much and hence I’m quite good at it. I watch English
programmes in my spare time and often practise my spoken English. Now I can
talk fluently with our foreign teachers. Besides English, I am also fond of
sports. To be fit for the job, I’m studying some special terms about different sports.
I hope I can meet the requirements of being a volunteer.
Yours,
Li Hua
