She invited him to sit down for a meal. At the same time, a few feet away, the dining hall was throwing away pounds of delicio

8、us food. Witnessing this, Komal knew she was meant to do something about the situation.

14、born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened

15、their lifespans（寿命） greatly.The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. Its a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Onc

16、e this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17 cooler than the outside, which is the

22、ples environmental awareness.D Its difficult to think of a better-known work of art than Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa. Michelangelos The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel comes close, but thats a detail of a huge work, not a work of art on its own. Images by many 20th-century art

23、ists like Spains Pablo Picasso and the US Andy Warhol are also instantly recognizable. However, no other painting is nearly as famous as the portrait in oils of a fashionable young lady of Florence, Italy.This painting isnt just famous because the image is now able to be reproduced over and over aga

24、in. Its fame has at least something to do with the fact that its a fine piece of work. Da Vinci was a leader in the revolution in painting in the Renaissance period. The Renaissance was more centered around humans than previous European culture was, and the Mona Lisa is a fine example of Renaissance

25、 humanism. The work is about a person.

26、tain Florentine lady, but in 1550, famous historian and painter Giorgio Vasari said she was Mona Lisa, the wife of silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo.

27、r, as well as the idea that she was painted from da Vincis imagination. The work invites the viewer/reader to discover for himself or herself, perhaps invent, what it means.Leonardo kept it himself, and took it with him to Milan, Rome, and France, and used it as a calling card, said Larry Feinberg f
