for years, viewers of the painting have been divided. but now spanish researchers may have solved the mystery of the mona lisa, reports the uks daily telegraph. its not a matter of the painting but the viewer, they say. whether we think she is smiling or not depends upon which cells in the eye catch the image first and how information from the image moves through the brain.its a question of how the eye and the brain work. different areas of the eye are responsible for picking up different information about light and dark, colors, background and foreground. the information takes different channels through the brain. luiz martinez otero, a spanish neuroscientist (神经科学家) said in an interview with new scientist quoted in the telegraph“sometimes one channel wins over the other, and you see the smile, sometimes others take over and you dont see the smile.”asked whether he thought the great italian master had intended to confuse viewers, he said he thought leonardo had:“he wrote in one of his notebooks that he was trying to paint dynamic expressions because thats what he saw in the street.”65. when did mona lisa become famous? a. in the year of 1519. b. in the middle of the 19th century c. a little before da vincis death d. in the late of the 19th century 66. why did da vinci draw the picture mona lisa? a. to celebrate his own birthday b. in honor of the wealthy businessmanc. to celebrate lisa second sons birthdayd. in honor of his masterpiece 67. what interested the art historians and other researchers most?a. her smile b. the painting c. the painterd. her background68. what can we learn from the passage? a. how the eye and the brain work decides whether the smile can be seen. b. luiz thought the great italian master had not intended to confuse viewers.c. researchers have already solved the mystery of the painting-mona lisa.d. all the viewers can see the smile when they watch the painting-mona lisa. 69. how do our eyes work when we watch the painting?a. eyes are responsible for moving images to the brain.b. eyes are responsible for picking up different information. c. eyes are responsible for taking channels through the brain. d. one eye channel wins over the other eye channel.70. what does the underlined word mean?a. soft b. steady c. mildd. movabledmembers of the post-1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs, which is a reflection of young peoples changing attitudes amid the countrys development, recent research showed. when fresh graduates do get the opportunity for a job interview, they are also more likely to miss it, turn down offers and not feel guilty about quitting if the work is not to their taste. these were some of the main findings of research conducted by leading chinese recruitment(招聘) website 51. of those surveyed, 45percent of employers said more than half of job candidates failed to turn up on time for interviews. more than 60 percent of fresh graduates also felt they needed help from their parents to look for work, the research showed. the website surveyed 2,357 enterprises and 1,230 fresh graduates nationwide over 15 days in 2013.
