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．

12．It was Wayne's wedding day．
Mrs．Ker （33）was relieved（relieve）finally．Wayne wanted to cancel the wedding again couple of days ago．She kept asking him （34）why and then she was told that he heard Susan's name．
Mrs．Ker said to Wayne in a serious tone，"You were both young then．You didn't know anything about love!What's going to happen （35）even if she has come back？She might have lots of children now!How can you still be dreaming about dating her？She has disappeared for such a long time．Don't you see （36）what a cruel girl she is？"
Under his parent's pressure，Wayne couldn't cancel the wedding．Before the ceremony，he kept reminding himself of his bride's name．He was afraid he （37）might/would say Susan's name．He said to himself that he needed to give his parents，his bride a perfect wedding．
When he was kissing his bride，he thought to himself，"How nice it could be if my bride is Susan!"
But （38）nothing/nobody could go back any more．
Their relationship ended 15years ago．
His pain was only a recall of yesterday．
Mrs．Ker nodded her head at her son at the wedding，（39）feeling （feel） satisfied．She checked around among the guests．Suddenly，she saw a boy holding a bouquet in the hall．Everybody was sitting but him，（40）so he looked pretty outstanding．
She was really shocked when she saw the boy．She gave her husband a slight push，"Baldwin，look at that boy!"
Mr．Ker followed her direction and saw the boy too．
"Doesn't he look a younger version of our son？"Mrs．Ker said in a curious voice．
Mr．Ker nodded．
