  From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures.

  Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louver (卢浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.

  The Louver has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (要塞) with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat (护城河) to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the fort grew. By 1350,the fort was no longer needed and became a palace home for French kings and queens.

  During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During times of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.

  When Francis I became King of France in the year of 1515,he brought in artists from many countries, and one of them was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy, whose Mona Lisa is the best-known painting in the museum today.

  In 1793,the Louver became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.

  Meantime, back on the earth, a survey from the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project from early last year looked at how the internet would affect our lives in 10 years’ time.The study looked at a wide range of topics, and it found some concerns along with the celebration.On the top of list of worries is a cyber(网络)attack.Many Internet experts agree that computer criminals are simply waiting for the right opportunity to strike.According to the Pew study, about 66% Internet users believe at least one devastating(毁灭性的)attack will occur in the next 10 years.Howard Schmidt, Who has worked on security issues at Microsoft company, said,“We will have self-repairing and self-configuring computer systems that can effectively protect one’s computer, so one perform the faction they want,”said Sehmidt.

  Scott Langteau has this message fro kids:Spend less time playing video games.

  It's a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

  But the 40-year-old Langteau isn't a parent.He's a experienced at video game-one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.

  Langteau has just published a children's book called “Sofa Boy,” which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.

  It's a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau's own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first, Langteau would like make one thing clear:“I'm not saying that you shouldn't play video games.I think video games are great, I think they do great things for kids.Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation.(克制)”

  “It'saboutbeingwellrounded,” he says.“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there's a variety in what we do.”

  Video gamers can be a rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders - people who don't play video games and certainly don't understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

  But Langteau and “Sofa Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game-savvy masses might actually listen to.After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.

  Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once.All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants.In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish:“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size.It happens to be the color you mentioned.”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is:“This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

Now how does a women go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“having a look round”.She is always open to persuasion:indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

1.What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes?

2.What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

3.What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

4.Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that

5.What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?
