读下面的文章，了解更多关于这幅名作的信息吧！
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But，at nearly 500 years of age，time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture，painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505，is getting worse by the year，according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫)where it is housed.
“The thin，wooden panel(画板) 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 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 chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year，many 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 Livin gstone of Harvard University.“It's because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up details，but less suited to looking 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 sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
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.During World War Ⅱ，French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

【答案】 1.过去经常性 2.具体；具体
would与used to
1．would的用法
would意为“总是、往往、总要、惯于、就会”，是情态动词，后面接动词原形，通常表示过去经常反复发生的习惯性动作。

这是would的肯定句，意为“某人就会(总要、总是)做……”
He would sometimes work into the night.

这是would的否定句，表示拒绝、无此习惯或不可能，意为“不肯”。

他不肯讲出他同伴们的名字。

2．used to 的用法
used to意为“过去常常”，其中to是动词不定式符号，后面接动词原形，表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作或状态现在已经结束，只能用于一般过去时，含有较强的“今昔对比”的意味。

used to构成否定式和疑问式时通常有两种方式：即借助助动词did或直接将used用作助动词。

He usedn't (didn't use) to come.他过去不常来。

You used to go there，usedn't (didn't) you?
你过去常到那儿去，是吗？
used to通常用于以下三种句型：
【句型1】sb.＋used to＋动词原形＋...
这是used to的肯定句，意为“某人过去常常做……”，只用于一般过去时。

She used to be a Chinese teacher.
她过去是一名语文老师。

【句型2】Did＋sb.＋use to＋动词原形＋...?

He used to/would spend every penny he earned on books.过去，他通常把挣来的钱全花在买书上。

(2)would与used to都不能用来表示动作发生的具体频度或具体的一段时间。

例如，不能说

He used to live in Africa for twenty years.
上两句应改成：
I have been to France six times.
我去过法国6次。

He lived in Africa twenty years ago.

(3)used to可指过去的状态或情况，would则不能。
