     From the earliest times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and
save the world's art treasures.
     Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The
works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. The Louvre has not always
been a museum. The first building was a fort (炮台). In 1190, it was the king's castle with high walls and a
round tower. It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in.
     Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed
as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
     During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen,
and the buildings were damaged.
     When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the
artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum
today.
     In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been
saved for everyone to enjoy.

  The Channel Islands are a group of British - owned islands lying in the English Channel (海峡) , 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123, 000.

     Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit a Monaco, too. Lying near the French-Italian
border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality (大公国)-though it is surrounded by
its great neighbour.
     Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain
Italian king. The French and Italian, however, soon came to protect it one after another until 1861, when
it became its own master again.
     Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where
the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo, which is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year,
about half a million people come to Monaco, nearly 25 tiroes as much as its population.
     Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by the
French police, and the French stand for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the
franc, too.
1. Which of the following maps shows the right position of Monaco and its neighbouring countries?
(Mc=Monaco, Fr==France, I=Italy, Md=Mediterranean)

2. Monaco has a population of ____.

A. nearly 25 thousand
B. no more than 20 thousand
C. about 12,500 thousand
D. a little over 20 thousand
3. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The national income of Monaco must be very little.
B. Monaco isn't a completely independent country.
C. A principality is a country ruled by foreigners.
D. Monaco belongs to France since law and order is kept by the French police.
