A

In the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler.Instead it was a

collection of independent states,known as “city states” because each one was run by a central city such as Florence.Some were small;some were large.Most states had their own government,laws and money.During the Middle Ages,five city states became very rich and powerful.For example,Venice became rich from its trade with the Far East,the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe.Banks in Florence lent money to businesses and governments all over Europe.[来源:学科网ZXXK] There was great competition between the city states—which led to regular wars—and between the families which ruled them.The city states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.

Let’s look in detail at one city—Florence.In 1400 Florence was one of the largest cities in Italy.It was the centre of a rich trade in wool and

cloth.One-third of the workers in Florence worked in the wool trade.

The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici family,who had made

their money through banking.The most famous member of the family was Lorenzo de’ Medici who ruled the city between 1469 and 1492.[来源:学*科*网]

The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds (行业协会).Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild.If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved

in governing the city.

The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous.The Medici collected books and built a huge library to house them.They spent money

on renovating (修复) old buildings and putting up new ones.They buil t a

splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it.Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence.

HowtoLoveYourMondays

I used to spend the second half of Sunday dreading Monday morning. 1 But now I am definitely in the “I Love Mondays” camp.Here’s what I’ve found

that works:

StartMondaymorningwithyourSundaynightroutine.When you get ready to exercise,you warm up first. 2 Get everything you need for the morning ready to go.Then consider a special “Sunday Night Only” winding down ritual (固定方式).It might be tea and a favorite TV show,or a long hot bath.Whatever it

is,enjoy thi s Monday morning warm-up,and consider turning in a little earlier than you’re used to.

3 Turning in a little early Sunday night can help with getting up a little early Monday morning.When you have a little extra time in the

morning,you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.

Findathemefortheweek.Every Monday,I post an inspiring quote or saying on the wall.These are intentional!Each week,as part of my Sunday night winding down time,I consider what I’d like to focus on in the coming week,and look for a quote that’s a good fit to reinforce (加强) it. 4

Lookattheweek’stasksasopportunitiesinsteadofproblems.What are you excited about for the new week? 5 What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week?Take a look at the week ahead and highlight a few things that you can reasonably accomplish.

When you are intentionally creating a life you love,Mondays begin to feel like a beautiful new start!

A.Get up early enough to start slowly.

B.What a waste of a perfectly good evening!

C.What problem-solving opportunities do you have?

D.Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday.

E.Have them in clean,working order and a convenient location.

F.It can be a word or whatever inspires you for the week ahead.

G.The work is the same either way,but our attitudes are within our control. Ⅲ.书面表达

假定你是李华,计划本周末和同学一起去河边植树。请给外教Nancy写一封邮件,邀请她一同前往。内容包括:

1.集合时间及地点;
