Historic Sites in Paris

Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles. Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city's complicated past.

Eiffel Tower

Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city's most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro byBir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00a. m.-5:00 p. m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays.

Notre-Dame Cathedral

Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Unfortunately, a fire broke out on April 15,2019, destroying part of it. Visitors are not allowed to enter now.

It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed onTuesdays as well as January 1, May 1, and December 25 each year.

I was born in 1990— the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac(生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like(骏马般的) spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. Iwas repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try to be still, gentle, and quiet.

Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house,examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. Ioften returned home with soiled clothes.

In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However,when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That's when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law.”

I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology (地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的) hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such“wild”activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.

By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I'd given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn't quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.

I'm now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I'm thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild,steed-like spirit wasn't something to suppress(压制). Instead, it led me to a career that's a perfect fit for me.

24. What can we learn about the author in her childhood?

A. She was a quiet and shy girl. B. She spent much time exploring the outdoors.

C. She brought misfortunes to her family. D. She was encouraged to study hard.

25. What was the reason for the author studying geology?

A. The bright employment opportunities.

B. Her disappointment at the pre-law program courses.

C. Her desire to act against her cultural expectations.

D. The difficulty of getting a law degree.

26. What happened to the author when she started to learn geology?

A. She was unprepared for the physical challenges. B. She was uninterested in the field courses.

C. She was strongly opposed by her family. D. She was looked down upon by other women.

27. Which of the following best describes the author's parents?

A. Careful.         B. Demanding.           C. Open-minded.         D. Short-sighted.

C

What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting?Even though Britain has a fame for less-than-impressive cuisine (菜肴), it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe(食谱)books frequently top the best seller lists.

It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly going down and around half of Britain's consumers(消费者)would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems thatTV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.

According to a new study, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cooking programmes on TVhas encouraged them to try different foods. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients(配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about improving their cooking knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession(痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cooking shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer“uncool” for boys to like cooking.

28. What do people usually think of British food?

A. It is simple and plain.                   B. It is rich in composition.

C. It has no classical tastes.                 D. It deserves a high fame.

29. Which best describes cooking programmes on British TV?
