She is widely seen as proof (证据) that good looks can last forever. But at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy.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 you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Livingstone. “It's 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 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 finally sold to France's King Francis I in1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World WarⅡ, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

Have you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow Well, it's easier than you think.All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).
Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colors.
But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt (融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colors.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when here is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colors will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time,visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sun rise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos.
To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru.Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 meters above the sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.
( ) 9. How does the writer start the passage
A. By listing a fact. B. By asking a question.
C. By telling a story. D. By giving an example.
( ) 10. What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain
