Careful Reading The Renaissance (from the 14th to the 17th century)
New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by Masaccio (1401-1428). Influential painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (14831520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio's innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.

Paragraph4:
I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favorite part. However, I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls! I heard it is because children are lighter and the horses can run faster and farther. At first, I was a little worried about the children’s safety, but Burin said, “ Don’t worry. They ‘ve been riding horses all their lives. They’ll be just fine.” That was the moment I started to understand why people say “ Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture.”…
