13．The Renaissance （文艺复兴）
For many people，the Renaissance means 14th to 16th century Italy，and the developments in art and architecture，music and literature which took place there all that time．But there is one work which，perhaps more than any other，（33）expresses （express） the spirit of the Renaissance：the Mona Lisa．It is believed to be （34）the best （good） example of a new lifelike style of painting that amazed people when it was first used．（35）Painted （paint） by Leonardo da Vinci in the years 1503-1506，the Mona Lisa is a mysterious masterpiece．People want to know who Mona Lisa is，and why she is smiling．（36）Evenif/though people do not know much about the Renaissance，they have heard of this painting．
The Renaissance was a time of scientific invention，too．Leonardo，as well as being one of the greatest painters the world has ever known，was also a skilled inventor．Wherever he went，he carried a notebook around with him，（37）in which he wrote down his ideas．They included detailed drawings of the human body，plans for engineers to build canals and bridges，and （38）astonishing（astonish） drawings of machines which were not to be built until hundreds of years later，such as aeroplanes，parachutes（降落伞），submarines（潜水艇） and tanks．Towards the end of his life he （39）was employed （employ） by the King of France to do scientific research，and he did not have a lot of time for painting．In short，he was an extraordinary genius，an example of what has been described as"Renaissance man"：someone interested in （40）everything and with many different talents．

Though many people tell us we can’t succeed, we need to hear others，opinions. I remember my high school English teacher telling me not to apply to Cornell University because they wouldn’t accept me and even if they did, I wouldn’t be able to do the work. I almost didn’t apply but a few days later I saw Ivan Goldfarb, a former teacher and asked him about Cornell. He said, “If you get in，then you go. You can do it.” His words made all the difference. I applied, and was accepted.

Too often we think it’s our role to put “reality” into someone’s life. We think it’s our job to protect people from the pain of failure and defeat. We think we must point out how bad the economy is and how horrible the job market is and how the sky is falling. We think that dreams are meant for others.

I say there are enough “realists” in the world. The world doesn’t need more negativity and impossible thinkers. The world needs more optimists，encouragers，and inspirers. The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say “I believe in you.” “Follow your passion and live your purpose.” “The job market is not great but I believe you’ll find the right job for you.” and so on.

When it comes to encouragement, I know that everyone loves working for and with people who bring out the best in us. And while we'll always remember the negative people who told us we couldn’t accomplish something, we will always cherish and hold a special place in our heart for those who encouraged us.

Today I want to encourage you to be an encourager. So often the difference between success and failure is belief. And so often that belief is instilled (逐步灌输) in us by someone who encouraged us.

A. he would have a try even if he was to meet with a failure

B. One who can analyze the severe situation ahead.

C. One who is willing to help you with your work.

D. One who can stimulate your courage and creativity.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

Four simple ways to stay positive

Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.

1. Don’t think a lot about negativity.

Of course. Staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.

It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. 1. However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.

2. 2.

What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to it.3.

3. Be kind to others.

4. Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious（传染的）, and your positive attitude may spread among others.

4. Take it one day at a time.

Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 5. Instead, focus on living at the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.

A.Eat healthy and stay fit.

B.Take your lunch breaks outside.

C.Don’t worry about what the future may bring.

D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.

E.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.

F.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.

G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
