    　　Thirty million people visit Paris every year and when you are standing in a queue at the Louvre waiting to have a look at the Mona Lisa,it is possible to think that each and every one of them is in the same room as you.

    　　But it is possible to see the iconic sites of the City of Lights without falling into the crowded tourists.

    　　My favourite way to enjoy Paris is to

    take enough money to last a visit of at least two months. I did this when I was 20. I lived in a poor hotel on Rue St. Jacques around the corner from the Sorbonne and the Jardin du Luxembourg. Surviving on 100 francs a day, I ate baguettes, tomatoes and a jar of mayon-naise. I drank my short blacks while standing at the counter of cafes. I walked everywhere,down the city's grand avenues and up its hid-den old alleyways. I loved every single pover-ty-covered moment of that winter.

    　　I've been back several times since for shorter trips. Each time, Paris offers new joys and discoveries.

    　　An increasingly popular way to get that true Parisienne (巴黎女子的) touch to your trip is to rent an apartment. Brisbane author Nerida Newtown loved the “at home” feeling when she and her family realized a long-term dream by living in Paris for a few months.

    　　If you can't manage a long stay, never fear. Jodie Minus's excitable account of her whirlwind trip to the City of Lights shows how you can get the most out of Paris in a short time. Jenny Stevens managed to show a first-time visitor much of Paris. But now it's over to you: Share your secrets and passions about Paris.

    (1) The text is mainly to tell readers________.

    [　　]

    A．where to visit in Paris

    B．some tips on how to visit Paris

    C．the writer's experience of visiting Paris

    D．the introduction of Paris

    (2) Those who want to get tips on short trips in Paris had better contact________.

    [　　]

    A．the Mona Lisa

    B．Jodie Minus

    C．Jenny Stevens

    D．the writer

    (3) According to the text, “ the City of Lights” should refer to“________”.

    [　　]

    A．the city of Paris

    B．the hotel the writer ever lived in

    C．a famous tourist attraction in Paris

    D．the name of a Paris' street

    (4) According to the writer, in order to know better about Paris, visitors________.

    [　　]

    A．should read Nerida Newtown's novels first

    B．had better plan a long trip there

    C．must get advice from Jenny Stevens

    D．should visit Louvre for the Mona Lisa

    If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris，remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by French custom．For example，if you think showing up promptly（迅速地）at the time given on the invitation，armed with gifts of wine and roses，complimenting（称赞）your hostess on her cooking，laughing heartily at the host’s jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest，think again．

    Here Madame Nora Chabal，the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris，explained how it works．

    The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours．And，the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own．

    Flowers sent ahead of schedule are the preferred gift．They may also be sent afterwards with a thank–you note．It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers vase when she is too busy to do with that．

    See，that’s the logic！The type of flowers sent has a code of its own，too．One must never send chrysanthemums(菊花)because they are considered too humble(谦卑)for occasion．Carnations（康乃馨）are considered bad luck，and calla（马蹄莲）are too reminiscent（令人联想）of funerals（葬礼）．A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent．Don’t send those unless you mean it，and never to a married hostess．And though the French love wine，you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party．Why？It’s as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand，and that’s an insult（侮辱）．You may，however，offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee．

    If an invitation is for eight o’clock，the considerate guest arrives at a quarter past eight．Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises．

    Which of the following is right about sending gifts？

    A. If someone in France is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla.

    B. If someone in Paris is ill in hospital, send carnations.

    C. If you are invited to a dinner party in UK, never bring a bottle of wine, because that’s an insult.

    D. If you are invited by a single French hostess whom you love, send red roses.

    What does the word “considerate” in the last paragraph mean？

          A. thoughtful               B. shameful     C. respectful    D. grateful

    If you are invited to a French dinner, the correct custom is to ______.

    A. compliment your host on his cooking

    B. arrive fifteen minutes behind schedule   

    C. hurry to help the hostess

    D. show up promptly at the time given on the invitation

    What is the passage mainly about？

    A. Different flowers have different meanings    

    B. How to send flowers

    C. Good manners at a French dinner party 

    D. Different countries have different manners

    Being able to experience a different environment and custom will give us a new perspective on everything we thought we knew and understood． Maybe, going abroad is an opportunity to look again at not only the country and the people who live there but also ourselves．

        I had never expected to visit Paris． The French culture didn' t interest me that much, and Paris seemed too big, too touristy, too much． But when I found myself standing next to the Opera National de Paris, completely alone and totally lost, I knew I was in for an interesting ride． I had decided to take a summer history class abroad, and Paris just happened to be where it was set． My teacher eventually found me and other jet-lagged students and walked us down to where we would be staying． Even then, tired, hungry, and feeling displaced, I was unable to keep myself from marveling at the beauty of the city．

        The next day in the grocery store, trying to decide if the box I was holding contained butter or cream cheese, I suddenly realized I was a foreigner that didn’t speak the language．The cashier and I had a conversation completely with gestures． For the most part, it didn't seem to bother the French that I was utterly incompetent in speaking their language． In fact, from my first unclear "bonjour" , many of them would directly switch over to English．

        Time Hew by． In the mornings we had class, and in the afternoons we were given a lot of freedom to do what we pleased． We explored everywhere in the city, becoming experts at using the Metro, and walking so much that our legs were sore every night．

        Living in Paris was a huge change in my lifestyle． Everything I did was more relaxed． I stopped worrying about the future and instead focused on living in the present． I stopped wearing a watch because time didn’t matter．We ate when we were hungry, went to bed when we were tired and explored in between．I no longer mind that Paris is so big; it' s an old, beautiful metropolis full of culture and history．On one of my last days there, standing on top of the Arc du Triumph with a 360 degree view of Paris, I finally admitted something to myself．The city that I had never wanted to visit had turned into the city that I never wanted to leave．

    1.The writer came to Paris because ______．

    A．he wanted to have an interesting ride

    B．he attended a course in summer

    C．he admired its beautiful scenery

    D．he was alone and lost his way

    2.On the first day in Paris, the writer felt _____．

    A．lonely in the big city                       B．bored with his visit

    C．surprised at its beauty                     D．interested in its culture

    3.The example of the grocery store is used to illustrate _____．

    A．the little influence of language barrier

    B．the big difficulty of living abroad

    C．the great importance of gestures

    D．the intelligence of French people

    4.By mentioning the uselessness of the watch, the author probably wants to prove ______

    A．time in Paris is not worth counting

    B．he enjoys the time in Paris very much

    C．life seems meaningful without time

    D．he has to spend a long time to visit the big city
