The Mna Lisa is the famus Lenard da Vinci painting f a wman with a mysterius smile. This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists using X-rays t examine the chemical structure f a small part f the painting discvered a technique Lenard used in the wrk. An il
paint used fr it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental md when he wrked n the painting
in the 16th century.
“He lved t experiment, and each f his paintings is cmpletely different technically,”said Victr Gnzalez, a chemist wh has studied the
chemical element (成分) f several wrks by Lenard and ther artists. The researchers fund a rare lead cmpund (铅化合物) — plumbnacrite, in
Lenard’s first layer f paint. The discvery prved that da Vinci mst likely used lead xide t thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is
abut the thickness f a human hair, lying in the tp right area f the painting.
The scientists lked int its atmic structure using X-rays, mving particles at the speed f light, permitting researchers t lk deeper int the
paint structure. “ Plumbnacrite is really a fingerprint f his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically cnfirm it,” Gnzalez said.
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century. Gnzalez and ther researchers have fund
plumbnacrite in his wrk, t. Lenard is thught t have put lead xide pwder, which has an range clr, in the il t make it thicker and dry faster.
“What yu will get is an il that has a very nice glden clr,” Gnzalez said. “It flws mre like hney.”
But the Mna Lisa — said by the Luvre t be a prtrait (肖像) f Lisa Gherardini, the wife f a Flrentine silk businessman — and additinal wrks by
Lenard still have ther secrets t tell. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knwledge,” Gnzalez said.

【小题4】What can we learn abut the Mna Lisa frm the last paragraph?

Scientists are nw digging int precisely why exercise hlds s many benefits fr ur mental health and memry. The answer, studies say, lies in ur
brain chemistry.
Each time yu wrk up a sweat, yur bdy releases feel-gd happy hrmnes (荷尔蒙), including endrphins, dpamine and endcannabinids, the
latter being respnsible fr the s-called runner’s high. Nw researchers are als pinting t mykines (肌肉因子) as an imprtant cntributr t the
mental health benefits f exercise. When ur muscles cntract, mykines are released int the bldstream, helping yur muscles and rgans
cmmunicate. They think this cmmunicatin increases resilience t stress, reduces symptms f mental suffering and anxiety and has a direct effect n
depressin.
A 2021 scientific reprt published in Neurpharmaclgy shwed evidence that mykines bst brain functin, like imprving memry and md.
“Mykines reduce systemic inflammatin (炎症), which is especially beneficial fr peple with drug-resistant depressin whse lw md is linked t
high inflammatin,” explains Dr Jennifer Heisz, an expert in brain health and assciate prfessr in the department f kinesilgy at McMaster
University in Canada.
A recent study published in the British Jurnal f Sprts Medicine shwed that treatment fr depressin can be much mre effective when physical
activity is added t the usual care. Participants fund benefits after 12 weeks f exercising fr 30 t 60 minutes a day. “While exercise is nt a
replacement fr prfessinal mental health treatment, physical activity can cmplement and enhance the effects f the treatment,” says lead researcher
Ben Singh, a research fellw at the University f Suth Australia.
“It is amazing t cnsider hw mving ur bdies can heal ur minds,” says Heisz. Whether yu’re cycling, walking arund yur neighburhd
r ding yga, getting sweaty is gd fr yur bdy and mind. T get the biggest verall health bst, the key is t zer in n sprts and activities yu
enjy, s yu’ll keep ging back t them.
【小题1】Hw d mykines bst ur mental health?
A．By bnding muscles with rgans.
B．By slwing dwn ur bldstream.
C．By cntracting muscles thrugh the bdy.
D．By releasing happy hrmnes in ur brain.
【小题2】What is Ben Singh’s attitude twards physical activity in treatment fr depressin?
A．Dubtful.
C．Uncertain
B．Negative.
D．Apprving.
【小题3】What des the underlined phrase “zer in n” in the last paragraph mean?
