Who is the woman in the painting People often think she is Madonna Lisa del Giocondo — the wife of a businessman. It’s the businessman who asks da Vinci to draw a picture of his wife.
Da Vinci finished the painting in 1506. After that, the French King invites him to visit France and Da Vinci takes the painting with him. Today you can see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, an art museum(博物馆) in Paris, and about six billion visitors come for it every year.
In 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia, a worker at the Louvre, stole the painting. He took it out of the museum and hid(藏) it under his coat. Two years later, police officers find the painting under his bed after he tries to sell it.
In 1962, people see the Mona Lisa in exhibitions(展览) in Washington and New York. This time, museums insured(投保) the painting.

The Year of the Dragon is coming! Of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac(生肖), the dragon is the only unreal one. But Chinese people love it so much for thousands of years. And they always say they’re the “descendants(后代) of the dragon”. But how much do you know about the animal Does it have the same meaning in different cultures
Both people in the east and west(东西方) think dragons are like snakes. Now in China, we can still find records(记录) of dragons. For example, some ancient jade carvings(古玉雕) look like snakes in a letter “C”. In the west, people see dragons as big snakes in the old book The Penguin Book of Dragons.
However, stories about dragons are very different between the East and West. Dragons in China have a horse-like head, a long body but no wings(翅膀). People think they are beautiful and smart. And they can also bring good luck. While dragons in the west have shorter bodies and big wings. They often mean bad luck. Some of them can even blow fire(喷火) from their mouth. For example, the evil witch(邪恶女巫) Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty, can turn herself into a big dragon!
East or west, in the world of fantasy, the dragon will always play an important role!
