But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonar
10、do da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre museum(卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the
11、 worlds most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when youre not looking at h
12、er, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Its because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history
13、of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to Frances King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under
14、his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.21The underlined

28、 Pudrovska，the studys first author，explained：“Women with job authoritythe ability to hire，fire，and influence payhave greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”The study followed 1，500 mi
29、ddle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels
30、 of authority at work，women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work，however，it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority
31、actually had a 10% lower risk of depression，while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.Dr Pudrovska continued：“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental heal
32、th.These women have more education，higher incomes，better jobs，and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet，they have worse mental health than lowerstatus(地位)women.”The cause of this discrepancy is not known，but Dr Pudrovska says：“Years of social science research suggest
33、s that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety，negative social interactions，negative stereotypes，prejudice，social isolation(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and confidence of strong leaders.
34、But when these women display such characteristics，they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的)This causes mental stress.”Men，on the other hand，do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.29Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?AFema

BSurprising
37、.CDisappointing. DInspiring.32What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?ADifference. BExcellence.CPreference. DReference.Dear Guys,Id like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing
38、 soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. Thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to
39、 you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.Before I continue, let me explain something that I didnt have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ab
40、ility when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. Im bad at aiming too. So you can understand why Id be nervous at what Im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as
41、 I could.It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If youll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh
42、 God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if
43、you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.Seeing that you werent going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding ba
44、ck. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories asi
45、de and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.“Just back up a little and give it all youve got!” another offered.And, most embarrassing of
46、all, “You can do it!”I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.I surprised myself
47、and Im sure you as wellby letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so Id be put out of my misery.Alas, the heart attack didnt happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had beco
48、me a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”Unfortunately for you, I wasnt really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two
49、-minute period were just enough blows for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.”And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at pe
