Is the world really going mad?    26   day I was sitting in a restaurant    27   a quick drink and a talk with a few friends when I suddenly    28   that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking. It wasn’t long    29   the whole room was    30   with smoke. I asked with an apology for permission(允许) to    31   a window to stop myself    32   !
Nowadays air pollution is something that hardly question any more. However, I still can’t walk down the street in any of the big cities without    33   that people are    34  from the air pollution. It is time for the government departments of the world to introduce emission(废气排放) controls on all cars and    35   the public transport system to encourage people to    36   their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lesson each morning and it really makes him    37  when he climbs above the smog layer(烟雾层) and looks down    38    it and thinks: “I’m breathing that!” This kind of    39   results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can    40   should, be treated properly. Road construction, House    41   , and industrial development are all earthmoving(earth-reducing) operations and can change the balances of    42   created over millions of years. I would like to    43   serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be    44   national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of countries in their natural    45   .

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
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.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态).
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “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. 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.
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 panned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
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.
What does the writer mean by “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa”?

What makes the repair work difficult?

What makes her so mysterious according to Professor Livingston?

Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
　　One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.”
　　They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.
　　The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland②.
