19、. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas!

25、y countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(炮台 ). In 1190, it was the kings castle with high walls and a round tower.
26、 It had a moat to keep out his enemies.5u Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens. During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many tr
27、easures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.

But modern pirates
32、 are not a thing of the past. Last month Somali pirates did their boldest hijacking (劫持 ) to date. They seized the Saudi supertanker (超大型油轮 ) Sirius Star carrying crude oil worth about $100 million. They demanded $15 million to free the ship and its crew. The pirates have kept hitting the headlines
33、this year: 92 attacks have been attempted, with 36 successful hijackings and 268 crew members taken hostage (人质 ). The Chinese fishing ship Tianyu 8, with 17 Chinese and 8 foreigners on board, has been in their hands since November 14. Of course piracy (海盗行为 ) is nothing new. Even since there has be
34、en water and ships there have been pirates. The earliest documented history of pirates dates back to the 13th century in the Mediterranean Sea. Even the famous Roman emperor Julius Caesar was once kidnapped by pirates. Piracy reached its peak in the mid-1700s. It was during this time in the Caribbea
35、n and off the coast of Africa that men like “Blackbeard the Pirate” made this profession attractive. But with the creation of stronger national Navies piracy became less popular around the world. In the mid-20th century, most pirates were petty (小规模的 ) thieves. They used hooks to sneak (偷偷摸摸 ) on bo
36、ard ships at anchor, and grabbed all that they could find. These pirates were more likely to flee than fight if faced by the crew. However, nowadays piracy has become a multi-million-dollar business at tracting many in poor countries. Pirates are treated like heroes among local fishermen. They use s
37、atellite phones and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Once they spot their target, they swarm the ship with fast boats and shoot it by firing AK-47s or even rocket-propelled grenades (火箭榴弹炮 ). Then they hold the ship and its crews for money. “The world should take forceful actions together to fight
38、piracy,” said leaders at the Asian and Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Peru. “However, putting in anti-piracy army can only be half of the solution. We have to protect the fair chance of Somali fishermen to get a good living and keep them from the lure of easy money,” said Peter Lehr,

42、ntry， probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs， says Professor Martin， that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected. The professor says， “Its true， my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. But our findings are based on researc
43、h and not on any personal feelings. ” Captain Thomas James， an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two， said， “Ive never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example. no harm is done to the education of my children， who change schools regularlyif they keep to the same system，
44、 as in our Army schools. In my experience and Ive known quite a few of themArmy children are as well adjusted as any others ， if not more so. What the professor doesnt appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups.” When this reached Professor
45、 Martin， he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in some way， but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency. “Our findings show that while the very bright children can deal with regular changes without harming his or her ge
