阅读理解。     Jan. 7, 2008 — French President Nicolas Sarkozy would marry his girl friend, former supermodel 
Carla Bruni on Feb. 8 or 9, media reported Monday.
     The report said that in December — less than a month after Sarkozy met Bruni — he gave her a
 heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.
     Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France"s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds
 the hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient 
Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008. French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early
 in February.
     Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced (离婚) in October. Their marital (婚姻) problems became well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard 
Attias.
     A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy"s third: 
He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s — after he had met and befriended Cecilia. Political
 analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off 
any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008 
would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry.
     "Apparently, he"s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him," Moisi said. "He will increase
 the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, "You see, I must remarry ... You need a
 first lady." "
     Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump. She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez. 1. Sarkozy"s second marriage was held _____. A. in 1996 
B. in May 2005
C. once he divorced Marie 
D. 11 years later than the first 2. What is the correct order of Sarkozy"s marital history?    
a.Long marriage to Cecilia.
b. Visiting ruins with Bruni
c. Getting divorced from Marie

阅读理解。     New York-Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Hand Washing Day. Activities are
planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their
hands with soap.
     Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical
moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
     Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap.
The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are
equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands is
to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including
under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.
     The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.  
Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,
which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
     It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any
medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child
deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.1. The most suitable title for the text would be _____.    A. Hand Washing Brings Good Health
B. Hand Washing Gets a Day of Its Own
C. It Is Soap That Matters
D. Partnership for Hand Washing Takes Action2. The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to _____.    A. call on people to wash hands
B. help the developing countries

B. soap helps to get rid of more germs off hands
C. soap attracts people to do more hand washing
D. soap gets people into the habit of washing hands4. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that _____. A. kills half of the kids in developing countries

     ROME: The legend of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery: How did he die? Are the remains
buried in a French castle really those of the master? Was the "Mona Lisa" a self-portrait in disguise (伪装)?
    A group of Italian scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say
they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing.
If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and
the public for centuries: the identity of the "Mona Lisa." Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardo"s face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting.
      "We don"t know what we"ll find if the tomb is opened. We could even just find grains and dust," says
Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project. "But if the remains are well kept,
they are a biological record of events in a person"s life, and sometimes in their death." Silvano Vinceti, the
leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said
burial site at Amboise Castle early next week.
      Leonardo moved to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him "first painter to the
king." He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67. The artist"s original burial
place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains
that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle.
      "The Amboise tomb is a symbolic tomb; it"s a big question mark," said Alessandro Vezzosi, the
director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci. Vezzosi said that investigating the
tomb could help identify the artist"s bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of
his death. He said he asked to open the tomb in 2004 to study the remains, but the Amboise Castle
turned him down.
     The group of 100 experts involved in the project, called the National Committee for Historical and
Artistic Heritage, was created in 2003 with the aim of "solving the great mysteries of the past," said
Vinceti, who has written books on art and literature.
     Arguably the world"s most famous painting, the "Mona Lisa" hangs in the Louvre in Paris, where it
drew some 8.5 million visitors last year. Mystery has surrounded the identity of the painting"s subject for
centuries, with opinions ranging from the wife of a Florentine merchant to Leonardo"s own mother.
     That Leonardo intended the "Mona Lisa" as a self-portrait in disguise is a possibility that has
interested and divided scholars. Theories have existed: Some think that Leonardo"s taste for tricks and
riddles might have led him to hide his own identity behind that puzzling smile; others have guessed that
the painting hid an androgynous lover.
     If granted access to the grave site, the Italian experts plan to use a tiny camera and radar to confirm
the presence of bones. The scientists would then exhume (挖掘) the remains and attempt to date the
bones with carbon testing.
     At the heart of the proposed study is the effort to discover whether the remains are actually
Leonardo"s, including with DNA testing.
     Vezzosi questions the DNA comparison, saying he is unaware of any direct descendants (后代) of
Leonardo or of tombs that could be attributed with certainty to the artist"s close relatives.
     Gruppioni said that DNA from the bones could also eventually be compared to DNA found
elsewhere. For example, Leonardo is thought to have rubbed colors on the canvas with his thumb,
possibly using saliva (唾液), meaning DNA might be found on his paintings.
     Even in the absence of DNA testing, other tests could provide useful information, including whether
the bones belonged to a man or a woman, and whether the person died young or old.
Even within the committee, experts are divided over the identity of the "Mona Lisa." 
     Vinceti believes that a tradition of considering the self-portrait to be not just a faithful imitation of one"s
features but a representation of one"s spiritual identity may have resonated (共鸣) with Leonardo.
     Vezzosi, the museum director, dismissed as "baseless and senseless" the idea that the "Mona Lisa"
could be a self-portrait of Leonardo. He said most researchers believe the woman may have been either
a wife of the artist"s sponsor, the Florentine nobleman Giuliano de Medici, or Lisa Gherardini, the wife of
a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo. The traditional view is that the name "Mona Lisa" comes
from the silk merchant"s wife, as well as its Italian name: "La Gioconda."
