Now, she is servin g a life senten ce withou t chance of parole (假释) at the Lowell Correc tiona l Instit ution in Ocala,Florid a. Lookin g back, Falcon faults her choice of friend s."I was like a magnet for the wrongcrowd," she says.At the time, Falcon was living with her grandm other in Panama City, Florid a. On Novemb er 19, 1997, upsetover an ex-boyfri end, she downed a largeamount of alcoho l and hailed a taxi with an 18-year-old friend. Her friend had a gun and, within minute s, the taxi driver was shot in the head. The driver, Richar d Todd Philli ps, 25, died severa l days later. Each of the teenag ers latersaid the otherhad done the shooti ng.In Falcon's case, she was foundguilty of murder, though it was neverknownprecis ely what happen ed. "It brokemy heart," says Steven Sharp, one of the people who made the decisi on to send Falcon to prison. "Toughas it is, basedon the crime,I thinkit's approp riate. Still, it's terrib le to put a 15-year-old behind bars foreve r."Falcon's case is not so uncomm on in the US, but it is rare around the world. About9,700 Americ an prison ers are servin g life senten ces for crimes they commit ted before age 18. More than a fifthhave no chance for parole. Life withou t parole is availa ble for youngcrimin als in abouta dozencountr ies, but a recent report by HumanRights Watchand Amnest y Intern ation al foundonly 12 youngcrimin als—in Israel, SouthAfrica, and Tanzan ia—servin g such senten ces. In the U.S., more than 2,200 people are servin g life withou t parole for crimes they commit ted before turnin g 18. More than 350 are 15 or younge r.Cruel& Unusua l?Youngcrimin als are servin g life terms(with or withou t the possib ility of parole) in at least48 states, accord ing to a survey by The New York Times,and theirnumber s have increa sed sharpl y in the past decade. Of thoseimpris onedin 2001, 95 percen t were male and 55 percen t were black.Is such punish mentfair for youngoffend ers? In March2005, the Suprem e Courtruledthat the deathpenalt y for crimes commit ted by people under18 violat es the Eighth Amendm ent to the Consti tutio n, whichprohib its "crueland unusua l punish ments." That mighthave surpri sed the people who agreed to the Amendm ent in 1791, many of whom foundsuch execut ionsneithe r cruelnor unusua l. But the Courtsaid that the meanin g of the Amendm ent change s with "evolvi ng standa rds of decenc y." Theirdecisi on has convin ced lawyer s and activi sts that the next legalbattle groun d in the US will be over lifesenten ces for youngcrimin als."Unform ed" Person aliti esThe Suprem e Courtruledthat youths under18 who commit terrib le crimes are less blamew orthy than adults, at leastfor purpos es of the deathpenalt y: They are less mature, more willin g to give in to peer pressu re, and theirperson aliti es are unform ed. "Even a terrib le crimecommit ted by a youngperson," Justic e Anthon y M. Kenned y conclu ded, is not "eviden ce of a hopele sslyevil charac ter."Most of thoseyouthf ul qualit ies were eviden t in Falcon, who had troubl e fittin g in at school. She is in prison for murder, meanin g she partic ipate d in a crimethat led to a killin g but was not proved to have killed anyone.Jim Applem an, the lawyer that triedto put Falcon in jail, says she does not ever deserv e to be free. He is convin ced that she shot Philli ps. "If she were a 29-year-old or a 22-year-old," he says, "I have no doubtshe wouldhave gotten the deathpenalt y."Althou gh Falcon believ es her senten ce is unfair, she says her eightyearsin prison have change d her. "A certai n amount of time beingin jail was what I needed," she says. "But the law I fell underis for people who have no hope of beingchange d for the better, career crimin als who habitu allybreakthe law, and there's just no hope for them in societ y. I'm a comple telydiffer ent case.""This can be hard"The case of anothe r Florid a teenag er, Timoth y Kane, showshow youths can be sent away for life, even when they were not centra l figure s in a crime. (Florid a is amongthe states with the larges t number of youngoffend ers—about600—servin g life senten ces, about270 withou t parole.)On Jan. 26, 1992, Kane, then 14, was playin g videogamesat a friend's housein Hudson, Florid a, whilesome olderboys planne d a robber y. That night, five youths rode theirbikesover to a neighb or's home. Two backed out, but Kane follow ed AlvinMorton, 19, and BobbyGarner, 17, into the house.He did not want others to thinkhe was scared, he recall s. "This is the decisi on that shaped my life since," says Kane.He says he though t the housewouldbe empty. But Madeli ne Weisse r, 75, and her son, John Bowers, 55, were home. WhileKane hid behind a dining-room table, Morton shot and killed Bowers. He then stucka knifein Weisse r's neck; Garner steppe d on the knife, nearly cuttin g off her head.Morton was senten ced to death.Garner, like Kane, a youngoffend er, was givena life senten ce with no possib ility of parole for 50 years. Kane was also senten ced to life, but he may be able to get parole afterservin g 25 years. He doubts that the parole boardwillever let him out.Kane growsemotio nal when talkin g aboutthat Januar y night. "I witnes sed two people die," he says. "I regret that everyday of my life, beingany part of that and seeing that." He does not disput e that he deserv ed punish mentbut says his senten ce is harsh. His days at Sumter Correc tiona l Instit ution in Bushne ll, Florid a, are spentin the prison printshop making 55 centsan hour. "You have no hope of gettin g out," Kane says. "You have no family. You have no moralsuppor t here. This can be hard."Will the courtdo anythi ng to help?In decidi ng whethe r "evolvi ng standa rds" have turned agains t a partic ularpunish ment, the Suprem e Courtlooksat what the states are doing.Life withou t parole for youngoffend ers is widely used, and only threestates specif icall y ban it. If this form of punish mentis to be banned by virtue of its violat ing the Eighth Amendm ent, it will likely happen only when a majori ty of the states firstget rid of it.Robert W. Attrid ge, the lawyer in Kane's case, says he feelssorryfor him. "But he had option s," Attrid ge says. "He had a way out. Two otherboys decide d to leave."CouldTim Kane be your kid, beingin the wrongplaceat the wrongtime?" the lawyer asks. "I thinkhe could. It only takesone nightof bad judgme nt and, man, your life can be ruined."1.What happen ed on Novemb er 19, 1997?A. Falcon's boyfri end drankalcoho l.B. A taxi driver was shot.C.

U11无2在佛罗伦萨这个城市里，吃的、睡的、和呼吸的都是艺术。
人类艺术天赋的典范几乎矗立在每一条街上，成打的博物馆和美工艺品店等待着您去探索。
意大利的佛罗伦萨是艺术爱好者的天堂。
在文艺复兴时期（或称艺术重生时期），佛罗伦萨对艺术家们本身就是个天堂，事实上在五百多年前，文艺复兴就在这儿发迹了。
在这之前，艺术作品完全集中在宗教主题上，而文艺复兴时期的艺术则包含更多变化的风貌，艺术家们描绘一般人物的画像，也绘画希腊罗马神话中的历史和人物。
米开朗基罗是佛罗伦萨艺术家中的佼佼者。
游客们在阿卡得米亚博物馆前大排长龙达好几个钟头之久，为了一睹他感人的大作「大卫像」的丰采，这一尊十四英尺高的雕像已经成为文艺复兴时期最完美的一尊人物塑像，「大卫像」是一种典范，表现出米开朗基罗雕塑人像简洁而有力的风格。
在维琪奥宫可以看到更多米开朗基罗的作品，这栋建筑在1299年至1322年曾是佛罗伦萨政府的所在地。
著名意大利艺术家的画作和雕刻作品，摆满了宫中的各厅室。
米开朗基罗也协助装饰其外观，他在宫墙上雕刻头像，有一个传说提到，为了跟人打赌，米开朗基罗背对着墙，两手背在后面雕刻头像。
离维琪奥宫不远的地方座落着翡冷翠教堂广场。
华丽圆顶的翡冷翠教堂，或称「神的殿堂」，花了将近150年才建造完工（1294-1436），并由当时最著名的工程师设计而成。
今日的游客仍惊叹于这个圆顶，它是教堂中最引人注目像皇冠似的一景。
时至今日，在佛罗伦萨没有任何一栋建筑高过这个圆顶的。
教堂文物博物馆耸立于附近，这栋建筑曾经是那些为此座教堂定制艺术品的人的办公室，今天它收藏了过去装饰教堂外观的雕像。
稍作散步一番走过佛罗伦萨狭窄的小巷，游客将来到著名的乌菲齐美术馆。
这栋建筑建于1560年间，当年是作为办公之用（乌菲齐在意大利语中是办公室的意思）。
今日，它则以其出色的艺术收藏而自豪，游客们一定得穿着舒适的鞋子去参观，因为要一探这个美术馆得花好几个小时的时间。
收藏中一些著名的作品包括有波提切利的「春」和「维也纳的诞生」。
