What else do you know about him? Da Vinci was more than just a great artist in history. He"s also famous
as a scientist and an inventor.
Recently, the Grand Rapids Public Museum in the US had an exhibition to introduce this great talent.
In one of the shows, named "Leonardo da Vinci"s Machines in Motion", visitors could see and touch 30
full-size machines built according to his sketches-including a crane (起重机) and a robot!
Leonardo da Vinci was born to a rich family in Florence, Italy, in 1452. From childhood, Leonardo was
given a good education and he showed talent at painting. By the age of 26, Da Vinci had already become a
famous painter.
However, he showed that he had multiple talents in 1482 when he began to work for the Duke of Milan
as a chief engineer. In the duke"s military factories, Da Vinci developed an interest in war weapons.
He designed many important machines, including helicopters and parachutes. He also drew and wrote
about an armored car, which could carry eight men inside and allow them to fire weapons through holes
in its walls. Da Vinci"s idea led to the mod- ern tank. Though Da Vinci never built many of the inventions
he designed, some of the things he imagined in the late 1400s are in use today.
As a scientist, Da Vinci was fascinated with the human body. He spent a whole year cutting up dead
bodies in hospitals to learn about human anatomy (解剖). He made more than 200 drawings of bodies.
Amazingly, Da Vinci wrote backward, so the easiest way to read his notes was to hold them up to a
mirror!

| Ten-year-old Barack Obama was one of only three black students at his school in Hawaii, US. He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. "I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan (肯尼亚) prince. But I kept asking myself who I am," said Obama. However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Last Wednesday Obama became the first black president in US history. Obama was born in 1961, to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the US. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol (酒精) to help forget this question. With help from his friends, Obama finally turned his life around at college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard (哈佛大学). Later, he became only the third black senator (参议员) in US history. During his race to the highest post in the US, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. "Obama"s success has made Martin Luther King"s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged (判断) by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character," wrote ABC news. | |||
