题目内容

Ned and Miles are students at different colleges. Ned applies for an online school, while Miles attends classes on a school campus. The two students each believe that their school system is better than the other.

Ned: Hey, Miles. Are you free to see a movie tomorrow night?

Miles: Sorry, no. I’ll have a class tomorrow and a lot of homework to finish up.

Ned: Oh, that’s too bad. I’m so glad I take classes online. I can decide when, where and how to complete my lessons. It saves a lot of time.

Miles: It sounds good, but I actually really enjoy going to class because it’s a great way to get to know other people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don’t understand something, I’m always able to ask about it in person. That saves me a lot of time and prevents misunderstanding.

Ned: In an online class, I have to think thoroughly (彻底地) before asking questions. That teaches me how to solve problems on my own.

Miles: Do you ever run into technical (技术上的) problems in your online classes? If you can’t open a file, how can you continue your learning?

Ned: It’s not a big problem. I can email the teacher or contact another student for help.

Miles: But answering questions through emails takes too much time. You may fall behind on your studies.

Ned: You can fall behind, too. What if you get sick or your class gets canceled because the weather is bad? Those aren’t problems for online classes.

Miles: Yes, but there’s usually a make-up (弥补) class if a class is canceled.

Ned: In an online class, I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can always review the previous (之前的) lessons online.

Miles: Don’t you feel lonely sometimes? I would feel lonely if I had to learn on my own.

Ned: I’m confident in learning by myself. Besides, an online class gives me more free time to take part in other activities.

Miles: I still prefer having classmates to brainstorm and discuss ideas with. I believe that improves my learning all the time.

Ned: I’m pretty self-disciplined (自律的), and I work better on my own. I can’t focus when working with others.

Miles: I guess everybody learn differently.

Who was the most talented person that ever lived? It might be Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian was a painter, sculptor (雕塑家) and inventor. This year, we celebrated his 566th birthday on April 15th.

Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa which still sits in the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫), is one of the greatest art works of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious(神秘的) smile. What is the reason for the woman’s smile? This is a question always asked, but it remains unanswered to this day.

Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her teeth! We will never know for sure… It is just fun to guess!

But the new research from scientists showed that some people even think she isn’t smiling but looks unhappy. The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.

The researchers showed 43 people two groups of pictures. Group One all had neutral(中性的) faces. Group Two had happy and angry faces. Each time, people saw two pictures, one from Group One, the other from Group Two. Later, they described what the neutral faces were like. When people saw a neutral face after a happy face, most of them thought it was smiling. When they saw a neutral face after a sad face, most of them thought it had a sad expression. Scientists believe our brain has predictive (预测性的) power. People use their past experiences to predict what they are going to experience next.

“________” said Erika Siegel, one of the researchers. “However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.”
