案情:小王急需一笔资金从事电脑批发与零售业务,于是小王找到熟人小朱,借款人民币5万元。2008年10月1日,双方签订了借款合同。合同中约定:向小朱借款人民币5万元,从10月10日起,借期为6个月。应小朱要求,小王将其一处平房作担保,折价人民币3万元。双方于10月8日办理了抵押登记。小朱于10月10日将3万元交给小王。小朱称以一处平房担保,似显不足,提出再提供一项担保。小王于是找到密友小马、小古,要其向小朱担保。小马、小古二人立即写了一份担保书,担保书上写着:如果小王到期不还款,并尤其他财产可供执行的,小马、小古愿承担还款责任。10月12日,小古、小马分别在担保书上签了字,小朱收下了担保书。
2009年2月1日,小王因着急用钱,将其那处已经设定抵押的平房作价25万元与小何签订房屋买卖合同。此事小朱尚未知情,小何也不知房屋抵押一事。2009年4月10日,小朱按约要小王还款3万元,并要求其支付利息3000元。小王称无钱还款。小朱欲申请人民法院拍卖小王的房屋,却发现房屋已由小何居住。小朱遂找到小马要求承担担保责任,小马称小王有一处房产,应先执行该房产,再强制执行小王其他财产及小古财产,之后才可要求其承担担保责任。
问题:
1.本案中有哪些主要的民事法律关系

答案

参考答案:应支持其偿还本金的请求,但不支持偿还利息的请求。因为自然人之间的借款合同,若无特别约定,应为无偿合同。

解析:《合同法》第211条第1款规定:“自然人之间的借款合同对支付利息没有约定或者约定不明确的,视为不支付利息。”由该规定可知,自然人之间的借款合同原则上为无偿合同。本案中小朱、小王并未约定利息条款,故应为无偿合同。

    The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his

portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and

over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic

that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.

    Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which

he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered

paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals

himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum's most popular display was the

skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.

    Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of

flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many

noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes

and portraits.

    James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah

Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
