Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in moderndaily life.
Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for war. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描), we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines. Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor — saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn’t eat any meat, which was very unusual in those times. He never published(发表) his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very few of his works today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.

Many parents always complain their children can't do things well when they are coming to see me.
In fact, all the parents are facing a serious problem—what character should they play in their children's life. When children reach the age of 16, parents need to realize that the children have grown up. After they grow up, they should learn to make decisions by themselves because this is very important for them. If they can't make their own decisions, they will never find out their ability and become independent.
To be honest, many children even adults can’t make their own decisions. So, parents should help children learn to make their own decisions and help to make the decisions more meaningful.
I have a German friend. He was born in a rich family. He lives in Washington with his parents. When he was 18 years old, he wanted to travel around America. He then talked with his father about it. His father supported his idea and then gave him only $100. I was astonished after I heard the news. However, to my surprise, he traveled around the whole country during intermissions (间歇) between working time. After he finished the journey, his father told me why he gave his son only $100 at first.
"I thought it was time for him to begin to learn what life is," he said. "Through this journey, he had learned that life wasn't as easy as he had thought. "
16．The writer is most probably a _________.
A．psychologist B．waiter C．businessman D．shopkeeper

Many parents always complain their children can't do things well when they are coming to see me.
In fact, all the parents are facing a serious problem—what character should they play in their children's life. When children reach the age of 16, parents need to realize that the children have grown up. After they grow up, they should learn to make decisions by themselves because this is very important for them. If they can't make their own decisions, they will never find out their ability and become independent.
To be honest, many children even adults can’t make their own decisions. So, parents should help children learn to make their own decisions and help to make the decisions more meaningful.
I have a German friend. He was born in a rich family. He lives in Washington with his parents. When he was 18 years old, he wanted to travel around America. He then talked with his father about it. His father supported his idea and then gave him only $100. I was astonished after I heard the news. However, to my surprise, he traveled around the whole country during intermissions (间歇) between working time. After he finished the journey, his father told me why he gave his son only $100 at first.
"I thought it was time for him to begin to learn what life is," he said. "Through this journey, he had learned that life wasn't as easy as he had thought. "
