  Three armed robbers stole two Pablo Picasso prints from an art museum in downtown Sao Paulo on Thursday, which was the city's second high-profile art theft in less than a year.The bandits also took two oil paintings by well-known Brazilian artists Emiliano Di Cavalcanti and Lasar Segall, said Carla Regina, a spokeswoman for the Pinacoteca do Estado museum.

  The Picasso prints stolen were“The Painter and the Model”from 1963 and “Minotaur, Drinker and Women”from 1933, according to a statement from the Sao Paulo Secretary of State for Culture, which oversees the museum.The prints and paintings have a combined value of $612,000, the statement and a museum official said.

  About noon, three armed men paid the $2.45 entrance fee and immediately went to the second-floor gallery where the works were being exhibited, bypassing more valuable pieces, authorities said.“This indicates to us that they probably received an order”to take those specific works, Youssef Abou Chain, head of Sao Paulo's organized crime unit, told reporters at a news conference.The assailants overpowered three unarmed museum guards and grabbed the works, officials said.The robbery took about 10 minutes and the museum was nearly empty at the time.The assailants took the pieces-frames and all-out of the museum in two bags.The institution has no metal detectors.

  In December, Picasso's“Portrait of Suzanne Bloch”and“O Lavrador de Cafe”by Candido Portinari, an influential Brazilian artist, were stolen from the Sao Paulo Museum of Art by three men who used a crowbar(铁撬棍)and car jack to force open one of the museum's steel doors.The framed paintings were found Jan.8, covered in plastic and leaning against a wall in a house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, South America's largest city.One of the suspects in that robbery-a former TV chef-turned himself over to police in January, who already had two suspects in custody(监禁).

  US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.

  The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.

  “This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars,” said Boulder’s research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.

  “The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”

  Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta(三角洲).

  “Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us,” said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.

  Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.

  The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.

  Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.

68. The size of the lake found on mars is_____.

  A. 80 square miles           B. 1,500 square miles 

C. 3.4 billion square miles D. 300 million square miles

69. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was_____.

A. hot and wet  B. wet and warm  C. cold and dry  D. cold and wet

70. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?

A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.

B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.

C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.

D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.

71. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?

A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.

B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.

C. The discovery can’t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.

D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

  Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic(流行病)of sleepiness in the nation.“I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr David.Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.

  The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century age.From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night.“The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock.“People cheat in their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr David.“They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic.”

  Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day.Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme.“In our society, you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5.5 hours’ sleep.If you’ve got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition.”

  To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier.“We’ve found that if you’re in sleep-deficit, performance suffers,” says Dr David.“Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.”

(1)

What is the main topic of the passage?

[  ]

A.

Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-deficit.

B.

The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times.

C.

The history of people’s sleeping patterns.

D.

The minimum of our sleeping hours.

(2)

Which of the following is Di David’s opinion?

[  ]

A.

People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don’t.

B.

Some people can remain energetic with only 6.5 hours’ sleep a night.

C.

If they get 8.5 hours’ sleep, people will be full of drive and ambition.

D.

People’s mental power suffers if they are lacking in sleep.

(3)

People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9.5 hours a night because __________.

[  ]

A.

they were forced by their parents to do so

B.

they knew what was best for their health

C.

they had no electricity

D.

they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are

(4)

The major cause of sleep-deficit of modern people is __________.

[  ]

A.

the endless TV programmes in the evenings and the Internet

B.

the pressures of the day

C.

the sufficient energy modern people usually have

D.

loud noises in modern cities

Branched of knowledge studied in a school.
