Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped(残疾的)because she has brain damage. She could not do even the simplest thing until a year ago. She could not comb(梳理)her hair or feed herself. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like a baby.

Mr. Ching has a daughter and a son. They are both grown. They live far from their father. Mr. Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He decided to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa.

Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth, but foster grandparents love the children they care for. They love them just as natural grandparents love their grandchildren.

The foster grandparents also help the handicapped children in special ways. They help to dress and feed the children. They read to them and tell them stories. They also help with handicapped children’s therapy. Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder. It helps the children overcome their handicaps.

Mr. Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr. Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her every day. Gradually, she began to trust him.

At last Lisa let Mr. Ching do things for her. He came at lunchtime and fed her. One day he handed the spoon (匙子)and guided it to her mouth. He told her she must learn to feed herself.

Most of that lunch ended up on us instead of in Lisa’s mouth,Mr. Ching remembers.But it was a start for Lisa. She learned to feed herself in a few months.

Then Lisa was ready for more therapy, thanks to Mr. Ching. She had learned to do one simple thing. She could learn to do other simple things. Mr. Ching was trained to help with Lisa’s therapy.

To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They must be willing to give their time to handicapped children. They are volunteers (志愿者),so they are not paid. They are given money for expenses such as transportation.

Mr. Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says,We all benefit (受益). The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful live. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, There’s no greater happiness than that!

  She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.

    1  

  “The thin, wooden panel(面,板)on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said.  2  

    3   “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It’s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”

  However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.  4  

  In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.

  5  

A.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile.

B.This picture is now so valuable that no one can tell its exact price.Therefore, many thieves tried to steal it in any way they could think of.

C.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy.

D.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.

E.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.

F.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed.

G.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
