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,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 world’s 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 you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “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 eventually sold to France’s 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 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.21．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.A. is losing its valueB. is being damaged after so many yearsC. is getting more valuable with years passingD. will rot away22．Experts haven’t any repairs on the Mona Lisa because______.A. it is now in a poor chemical stateB. they don’t know how to replace the wooden panelC .they don’t have the materials Da Vinci usedD. they are afraid it will be done further damage.23．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_______.A. by indirect visionB. at a distanceC. by direct visionD. in shadows24．From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.A. many interesting stories have been written about the Mona LisaB. people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.C. some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.D. Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.Eat BlueberriesAside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.Drink Pomegranate（石榴）JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture.

Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer.

Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!Take Selenium（硒）Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all.
