    　　Those days I’ve prepared to complete my college degree．The last project was named“smile”, which required us to go out and smile at three people and 　　1　　 their reactions．

    　　It was freezing．My friend and I went out to a fast food restaurant．We were standing in line, waiting to be 　　2　　, when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position．

    　　As I 　　3　　 I smelt a terrible“dirty body”smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men．As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky－blue eyes searched for 　　4　　．

    　　To sit in the restaurant and 　　5　　 up, they had to buy something．When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could 　　6　　．I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two 　　7　　 plates．Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot．I put the plates on the table and 　　8　　 the blue－eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands．With tears in his eyes, he said．“Thank you”．I noticed that all the 　　9　　 in the restaurant were set on me at that time．

    　　I returned to college and 　　10　　 a paper about this story as my project to the instructor．She read it and though highly of my project．Just then I realized in my own way I had 　　11　　 the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom．I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn unconditional acceptance．

    　　Much love and compassion is sent to each person who may read this and learn how to 　　12　　 people．

    　　ROME：The legend of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery：How did he die? Are the remains buried in a French castle really those of the master? Was the "Mona Lisa" a self-portrait in disguise(伪装)?

    　　A group of Italian scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing．

    　　If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and the public for centuries：the identity of the "Mona Lisa．" Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardo's face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting．

    　　"We don't know what we'll find if the tomb is opened．We could even just find grains and dust," says Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project．"But if the remains are well kept, they are a biological record of events in a person's life, and sometimes in their death．" Silvano Vinceti, the leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said burial site at Amboise Castle early next week．

    　　Leonardo moved to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him "first painter to the king．" He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67．The artist's original burial place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle．

    　　"The Amboise tomb is a symbolic tomb; it's a big question mark," said Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci．Vezzosi said that investigating the tomb could help identify the artist's bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of his death．He said he asked to open the tomb in 2004 to study the remains, but the Amboise Castle turned him down．

    　　The group of 100 experts involved in the project, called the National Committee for Historical and Artistic Heritage, was created in 2003 with the aim of "solving the great mysteries of the past," said Vinceti, who has written books on art and literature．

    　　Arguably the world's most famous painting, the "Mona Lisa" hangs in the Louvre in Paris, where it drew some 8.5 million visitors last year．Mystery has surrounded the identity of the painting's subject for centuries, with opinions ranging from the wife of a Florentine merchant to Leonardo's own mother．

    　　That Leonardo intended the "Mona Lisa" as a self-portrait in disguise is a possibility that has interested and divided scholars．Theories have existed：Some think that Leonardo's taste for tricks and riddles might have led him to hide his own identity behind that puzzling smile; others have guessed that the painting hid an androgynous lover．

    　　If granted access to the grave site, the Italian experts plan to use a tiny camera and radar to confirm the presence of bones．The scientists would then exhume(挖掘)the remains and attempt to date the bones with carbon testing．

    　　At the heart of the proposed study is the effort to discover whether the remains are actually Leonardo's, including with DNA testing．

    　　Vezzosi questions the DNA comparison, saying he is unaware of any direct descendants(后代)of Leonardo or of tombs that could be attributed with certainty to the artist's close relatives．

    　　Gruppioni said that DNA from the bones could also eventually be compared to DNA found elsewhere．For example, Leonardo is thought to have rubbed colors on the canvas with his thumb, possibly using saliva(唾液), meaning DNA might be found on his paintings．

    　　Even in the absence of DNA testing, other tests could provide useful information, including whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman, and whether the person died young or old．

    　　Even within the committee, experts are divided over the identity of the "Mona Lisa．"

    　　Vinceti believes that a tradition of considering the self-portrait to be not just a faithful imitation of one's features but a representation of one's spiritual identity may have resonated(共鸣)with Leonardo．

    　　Vezzosi, the museum director, dismissed as "baseless and senseless" the idea that the "Mona Lisa" could be a self-portrait of Leonardo．He said most researchers believe the woman may have been either a wife of the artist's sponsor, the Florentine nobleman Giuliano de Medici, or Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo．The traditional view is that the name "Mona Lisa" comes from the silk merchant's wife, as well as its Italian name："La Gioconda．"

    　　Any list of the world's top ten most famous paintings will surely include da Vinci's Mona Lisa．Part of the painting's attraction is its mystery(神秘)．

    　　Those lucky enough to have a view of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre often stare in awe(敬畏), surprised by the smile that seems to flicker(忽隐忽现)．Staring at a reproduction of the work produces the same effect．Now she's smiling, then she's not．

    　　What's the deal with Mona Lisa's smile?

    　　Harvard scientist Margaret Livingstone is pretty sure she's solved the puzzle．After careful studies on human brains, Livingstone reasoned that the famous painting's flickering smile is caused by the way human beings see．

    　　Our eyes use two separate regions(部位)to see．One is central vision(视力；视觉), used to see colors and pick out details such as fine print．The other is the vision around, used to observe lights, shadows, black and white contrasts．

    　　When we look at a person's face, according to Livingstone, we usually focus centrally on the eyes．Staring at Mona Lisa's eyes, our less accurate vision notices the mouth, picking up shadows from the cheekbones．The shadows play tricks, looking like a smile．But when we look directly at the mouth, our central vision doesn't see the shadows, and so the smile suddenly disappears．As our eyes observe different parts of the painting, Mona's smile seems to show up or disappear．

    　　Did da Vinci intend to create this flickering smile effect? Perhaps．In any case, he was talented enough to paint shadows so good as to puzzle viewers for centuries．Meanwhile, Mona Lisa will keep smiling．And not．

    (1)

    B．

    lights and shadows

    C．

    black and white contrasts

    　　People generally use spices(香料)every day when preparing meals．Most of these spices are readily available in local supermarkets．However, in the 15th and 16th centuries, spices were as valuable as gold or diamonds．Spices are small plants or parts of plants, such as ginger, pepper, vanilla, and cinnamon, which are used to add flavor to our food．　　1　　 Such a use for spices actually goes all the way back to Roman times．The Romans used spices such as cumin and coriander to help preserve food．

    　　The spices came to Europe from countries to the east, such as the islands in the East Indies, Sri Lanka, and India．　　2　　 Because of the long journeys involved, they were very expensive．

    　　European sailors began to look for routes to these countries themselves in order to bring back the spices by sea．In 1498, a Portuguese explorer named Vasco Da Gama reached an East Indies island called Calicut．　　3　　 In 1519, another Spanish explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, found a new trade route by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean, around the southern tips of both South America and Africa, and back to Europe．

    　　　　4　　 Portugal was the leader until the end of the 16th century．Spain was in control during much of the next 100 years．Then, Holland took over．The Dutch controlled the East Indies, but, in 1780, England defeated them in a famous war．　　5　　 They treated the people there badly and made them submit to the British government．

    　　India finally became independent from Britain in the 1940s．Today, it is still called“the land of spices”．In fact, at present India produces 2.5 million tons of spices each year and produced more types of spices than any other country．

    A．For centuries, Arab traders had carried the spices over land and sold them to European countries．

    B．For the next four centuries, Western countries raced each other for control of the spice trade in these new countries, which they called the“New World．”

    C．Though they might not be as valuable today as gold or diamonds, spices are still big business around the globe．

    D．Six years earlier, Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus had been looking for spices when he discovered America．

    E．The English then moved from the islands into India．

    F．The history of spice is almost as old as human civilization．

    G．In those times, spices also helped keep meat from spoiling．

    D
    A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.
    　　One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
    　　In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
    　　Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.
    　　No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
    69. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ____________.
    A. the generation gap suddenly appeared
    B. the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
    C. people can reduce the generation gap
    D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
    70. The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means ____________.
    A. on all sides     B. near               C. in every direction   D. in existence
    71. In American society, young people often ____________.
    A. depend on their parents to make a life
    B. stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
    C. seek the best advice from their parents
    D. have very little in common with their parents
    72. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A. Parents should be strict with their children.
    B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.
    C. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
    D. The generation gap does not exist in American society.
