13、here are three million bikes in town and a good bus and tram system.There are boats, too.About half of them are for tourists, the others are houseboats with people living on them.We spent the whole day walking.Tomorrow were going to rent bikes.FridayWe spent today looking at houses.The architecture
14、is astonishing, quite different from other European countries weve been to.The houses are tall and thin, and many of them have a fantastically ornate Renaissance appearance.In the Middle Ages the houses were made of wood.Then, at the end of the 15th century there was a huge fire and about three quar
15、ters of the town was destroyed.After that, houses were made of brick.Unlike other places in Europe, where house owners were taxed on the size of their windows, here the taxes depended on the width of the house so they kept them narrow, but built them tall.Well, thats what Claire says, and she read i

18、y.She reminded me that we were leaving for Paris tomorrow, where we were going to see the most famous painting in the world .星期四我们乘坐了一夜的渡轮到了荷兰角，然后乘火车去了阿姆斯特丹的中心车站。这只是一段很短的路程，但是在集镇里找路却不容易。很多道路依河而建，它们不是直的而是像马蹄铁一样。那么你可能沿街走了半个小时左右，结果离你出发的地方实际仅有五分钟的路程。然而，大部分人不走路镇上有300万辆自行车及很好的公交和电车系统，也有船，大约一半是为游客准备的，其他的是有
19、人居住的游艇。我们走了一整天。明天我们要去租自行车。星期五今天我们看了一整天房子。这里的建筑令人惊讶，与我们去过的欧洲其他国家很不同。房子又高又窄，很多有着极华丽的文艺复兴的面貌。在中世纪房子是由木头制造的，然而，在15世纪末，一场大火毁掉了约四分之三的城镇。那之后，房子就用砖建造了。在欧洲其他地方，房屋主人要根据窗户的尺寸纳税，在此却不同，这里的税金是根据房屋的宽度而定因此他们就把房屋盖得很窄但却很高。哦，这是克莱尔说的，她在旅行指南里看到的。星期六我们参观了梵高博物馆，而没有去更著名的国立博物馆。这里很令人惊讶。我以前从来没有真正看过梵高的任何画作。他似乎对艺术进行了再创造。不管他画肖像还
20、是山水画他都是个天才。在他自杀前的最后70天里，他画了70幅画，我认为它们几乎都是杰作。然而在他有生之年，梵高仅仅卖出了一幅作品！我们在博物馆里肯定度过了3个小时，当我们出来时我告诉克莱尔我认为梵高是历史上最伟大的画家。她提醒我说我们明天要去巴黎，在那我们将看到世界上最著名的画作The Puzzle of the Mona LisaThe Mona Lisa is the subject of many stories, but there is one anecdote which remains a puzzle.Is the painting in the Louvre the auth
21、entic work by Leonardo da Vinci .or just a copy?The story began one day in 1911 when someone noticed the Mona Lisa was missing.A spokesman said, “The burglar left the antique frame and the glass behind.He must have gone through the basement to the main courtyard.A passerby saw a man with a moustache
22、, carrying a parcel under his arm, dash over the street crossing, along to the crossroads.He then fled down a sideroad.Were appealing to anyone who saw the suspect to contact us.”So who stole the Mona Lisa？And why？News about the loss of the Mona Lisa was circulated in all the French newspapers, and
23、there was a widespread search for the burglar all over the country.The police said, “We dont think the burglar was working alone.Were seeking a gang of criminals.” Two years later, a man with a moustache went to an art dealer in Florence in Italy and made a tentative attempt to sell the Mona Lisa.Th
24、e art dealer checked it, agreed it was authentic . and then called the police.Why did the burglar, Vincenzo Perugia, wait so long？Perugia had stolen the Mona Lisa on behalf of the chief organiser of the crime, Eduardo de Valfierno.But Perugia made a fundamental mistake.He trusted de Valfierno to pay
25、 him for the painting.The drawback for Perugia was that de Valfierno didnt in fact need the painting, only the news of the theft.De Valfierno made six superb copies and sold them, claiming that each one was the authentic stolen painting.Of course, the fact that there were six substitutes was confide
26、ntial.The six buyers didnt know about the other paintings.Whats more, de Valfierno didnt need to pay his debt to Perugia.After two years, Perugia got tired of waiting to be paid, and tried to sell the painting.When the real Mona Lisa turned up in Florence, de Valfierno simply told his buyers that it
27、 was merely a copy.The outcome of the story is that Perugia got the blame for the crime and went to prison.De Valfierno remained at liberty for the rest of his life.But there is still a puzzle.There were a number of precise copies of the Mona Lisa painted by gifted students of Leonardo da Vinci.Part
28、 of the paintings fascination is whether the one in the Louvre was authentic . even before it was stolen.And if Perugia stole a copy . who has the authentic Mona Lisa？蒙娜丽莎之谜蒙娜丽莎是许多故事的主题，但是有一个传闻仍然是个谜。卢浮宫的画是莱奥纳多达芬奇的真迹还是只是一份赝品？故事始于1911年的一天，有人注意到蒙娜丽莎丢了。一个发言人说：“窃贼把古董架和玻璃留下了。他一定是穿过地下室到达主院的。一个过路人看见一个留着胡须的男
29、人，手臂下夹着一个包裹。穿过街道拐角，沿着十字路口走去。然后他从旁路逃离了。我们呼吁看到嫌疑人的人联系我们。”那么谁偷了蒙娜丽莎？为什么？关于蒙娜丽莎失窃的消息充斥着法国的各种报纸，全国都在大范围地寻找盗贼。警察说：“我们认为盗贼不是单独行动的，我们正在寻找一个犯罪团伙。”两年后，一个留着胡须的人来到意大利佛罗伦萨的一个艺术品经销商那里，尝试出售蒙娜丽莎。这个艺术品经销商验证了一下，认为它是真迹然后给警察打了电话。为什么盗贼温森佐佩鲁贾等了那么久？佩鲁贾在这次犯罪的主谋爱德华多德瓦尔菲勒诺的指使下偷了蒙娜丽莎。但是佩鲁贾犯了一个基本的错误。他相信德瓦尔菲勒诺会付给他这幅画的钱。佩鲁贾得到的回应
30、是德瓦尔菲勒诺事实上不需要这幅画，他只需要画失窃的新闻。德瓦尔菲勒诺做了6幅很好的赝品卖掉了，声称每一幅画都是被偷了的真迹。当然，有六幅赝品的事情是机密的。那六个买家并不知道还有其他的画。此外，德瓦尔菲勒诺并不需要向佩鲁贾付款。两年之后，佩鲁贾厌倦了无尽的等待，于是想着卖掉画。当蒙娜丽莎的真迹出现在佛罗伦萨的时候，德瓦尔菲勒诺只是简单地告诉他的买家那只是个赝品。故事的结局是佩鲁贾因这起犯罪承担了责任并进了监狱。德瓦尔菲勒诺则余生仍然逍遥法外。但是仍有一个谜。蒙娜丽莎有大量的由莱奥纳多达芬奇的有天分的学生制作的精良的赝品。这幅画的魅力之处在于卢浮宫的那一幅画是不是原作即使在它被偷之前。如果佩鲁贾
31、偷了一幅赝品那蒙娜丽莎的真迹在谁手里呢？PrintingPrinting is the process of making many copies of a single document using movable characters or letters.In China, printing was known as early as in the 7th century, during the Tang Dynasty；in Europe, it was an important part of the Renaissance.Printing answered a need because people were thirsty for knowledge.Before printing was invented, copies of a manuscript had to be made by hand, usually on animal skins.This was a difficult task that could take many years, and which made books ver
