Before starting our tour of Monticello, I’d like to give you some historical facts that might help you appreciate what you see today even more.
Monticello was the very much loved home of Thomas Jefferson for over fifty years. Jefferson, who was, of course, President, was also a great reader and language enthusiast. He read widely on different subjects, including architecture. He wasn’t formally trained in architecture, but as a result of his study and observation of other buildings, he was able to help design and build the house. He chose the site himself, naming the estate "Monticello", which means "little mountain" in Italian. In fact, many of the ideas behind the design also came from the Italian architect Andrea Palladio, who lived in the sixteenth century and who had a great influence on the architecture of England.
Jefferson, however, ignored one of Palladio’s principles—that is, not to build in a hi
A. To describe Jefferson’s role in history.

The once-seen-everywhere cafeteria tray, with so many glasses of soda, juice and milk lined up across the top, could soon join the typewriter as a campus relic. Scores of colleges and universities across the country are shelving the trays in hopes of conserving water, cutting food waste and saving money. Some even believe trayless cafeterias could help avoid the dreaded "freshman 15"—the number of pounds supposedly gained in the first year on campus.
The Sustainable Endowments Institute (可持续捐助研究院), a research organization that tracks environmental practices at the 300 colleges and universities with the largest endowments, said that 126 of them had reduced use of trays, some of them getting rid of trays only in certain dining halls, and some introducing, for example, "trayless Tuesdays". Such moves are often part of a larger push to embrace environmentalism that includes hiring sustainability coordinators, introducing solar panels, disposing dinin

Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called "mall rats". Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations of private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 2,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People like doing all their shopping in one place. More malls were built around the country. Now, malls are like town centers where people come to do many

[填空题]Your heart is the single most important muscle in your body, but keeping it in (36) doesn’t require a fancy gym membership or hours of tiring workouts.

W: John! Have you chosen a physical education class yet for this semester
M: No, why
W: You’ve got to take rock-climbing. We just had the first class and it looks like it’s going to be great!
M: You think I should take rock-climbing You’ve got to be kidding. Besides, how can they teach rock-climbing when it’s completely flat around here
W: That’s not important. You can’t just start climbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts, the buckles—there’s a lot of preparation first.
M: You don’t think it’s just a little bit dangerous
W: Not if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty high tech. The ropes are made of elastic fibers that stretch a little, the shoes have special grips on the bottom, and the helmets are made out of some kind of special plastic. You have to learn how to use all

[填空题]Elderly Rule in Europe
A. Seen from afar, Europe looks like an "elderly rule", an American newspaper reported in 1963. Europeans were young in years and outlook (their median age was just 32). But their leaders included the 87-year-old Konrad Adenauer in Germany; 70-year-old rulers in Spain and Portugal; Charles de Gaulle in France (then 72, and destined to hang on to the presidency for six more years); and the baby of the bunch, Britain’s 68-year-old Harold Macmillan, who was soon to quit as prime minister.
B. Today Europe again faces rule by the elderly. Not because its leaders are all ancient; modern politicians tend to show off their pregnant wives and school-age children, and rulers themselves in cycling shorts and running kit. Now it is the voters who have aged. By 2050, more than a third of potential European Union voters will be over 65. And because older voters turn out more reliably than the young, they could wield crus

For many years, unemployment in the United States was lower than in Western Europe, a fact often cited by people who argued that the flexibility inherent in the American system—it is easier to both hire and fire workers than in many European countries—produced more jobs.
That is no longer the case. The current economic crisis has turned the case for the U.S. model almost entirely on its head.
In March, the American unemployment rate stood at 8.5 percent, the same as the average rate for the first 15 members of the European Union. In April, the rate in the United States rose to 8.9 percent. When the European figures are compiled, it seems likely that the American rate will be higher for the first time since Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical agency, began publishing unemployment rates in 1993 for the entire European Union and for three countries outside the union, the United States, Japan and Turkey.
For men, the unemployment rate
A. Because the economy was more developed in the United States than in Western Europe.
B. Because it’s easier to employ workers in the United States.
C. Because the flexible American system generated more job opportunities.
D. Because America put more effort into creating new jobs. -

What is it about Paris For the last two centuries it has been the single most visited city in the world. Tourists still go for the art and the food, even if they have to brave the disdain of ticket-takers and waiters. Revolutionaries on the run, artists in search of the galleries and writers looking for the license to explore their inner selves went looking for people like themselves and created their own fields filled with experimentation and constant arguments. Would worldwide communist revolution have been conceivable without the Paris that was home to Marx, Lenin and Ho Chi Minh Would Impressionism or Cubism have become "isms" without Paris as a place to work and as a subject to paint How Paris came to be, for such a long time, "capital of the world"
The answer lies in the city’s "myths", according to the distinguished Harvard historian Patrice Higonnet in "Paris: Capital of the World." In his book, Paris ca
