People have often worked together to collect and save the worlds art treasures.Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(炮台).In 1190, it was the kings castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in.Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da VincisMona Lisais the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.29On the whole,this passage is mainly about_Aan art museum called the Louvre Ban Italian artist named Leonardo da VinciCa king of France named Francis I Dthe best known painting in Louvre 30Why is it good for great art to be kept in public museums？AIt helps people remember who the King of France isBIt keeps people out of the palacesCIt gives everyone a chance to enjoy good artDIt helps people to know who is the greatest artist31From the passage we know that _ Ait is not possible for treasures to be stolenBold forts always make the best museumsCgreat art should be shared with all the people Dking Francis I of France brought in artists from an old fort 32In the third paragraph the wordmoatprobably means_Aa high tower built in former times where soldiers watched out for enemies Ba long and deep ditch（沟） dug round a castle and was usually filled with waterCa cart pulled by horses on which soldiers foughtDa long and high wall around castle DWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like ? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“Thats just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments.
