  A camera and a computer can “see” something that perhaps millions of pairs of eyes failed to see for 480 years: the Mona Lisa's lost necklace. The discovery about the famous painting was made by an American physicist in 1986.

  The Mona Lisa, painted by the Italian, Leonardo da Vinci (达·芬奇) ,has been on show for many years in Paris. Now a row of white spots on the neck have been “seen”. They are said to be the remains of a necklace which the artist later painted over.

  The painting will be examined further by using infra-red scanning (红外线扫描) techniques. Laser (激光) technology can be used to show what lies directly under the surface of the finished work, too. This will help us to understand how the artist draw the picture. Did he begin with a quick-made drawing or have second thoughts as he painted the picture?

  This kind of knowledge will show us the famous artist at work. It may also help to explain Mona Lisa's smile, which has puzzled art lovers for centuries.

1.The best title of the passage is ________.

[  ]

A.Leonardo da Vinci

B.The Mona Lisa's Puzzling smile

C.The Mona Lisa's Missing Necklace

  She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But, at nearly 1,500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.

  The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci(莱昂纳多·达·芬奇)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 the 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(现在的)chemical state.

  Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many are 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 details, but less suited to look 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 said to France's King Francis I in 1169.

  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 planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.
