We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to 31 a car because we had sold the one we had in England before 32 home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was 33 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 34 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 35 so we went together to 36 it. We paid for the car and 37 the papers. They told us that there was 38 petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The 39 garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there 40 .But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing 41 me. I got out of 42 as fast as I could by backing into the garage 43 and the man behind 44 me.
"It’s such a problem to 45 to drive on the right side, isn’t it?" my wife said. "Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for 46 ," I replied. "You had better go 47 on the way home," my wife said. "You' d be sorry if you had 48 on the first day, wouldn' t you?" While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English," Would you mind telling me 49 you are thinking of leaving? 50 are you going to sit in your car all day?"

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ____36____So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.

The place wasn't entirely authentic，though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.

Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.

____39____On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost ＄18!

In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.

You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded. ____40____When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously - so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.

A．	Not all the customers are tourists.
B．	The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C．	There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D．	The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E．	That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F．	Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G．	The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

You've got mail…and it's a postcard

Paulo Magalhaes,a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China'sGreatWall. 11

"I often send postcards to family and friends."he says to China Daily,"but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 12 " Seeking other like-minded souls,however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat

unlikely place :online .Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service,but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.

Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com,a social network that has grown to 575 217registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 13 Runningthe website has almost turned intoa full-time job.

Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese,the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 14 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.

"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 15 That said,we know of many

postcrossing members,including Chinese,who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,"Paulo says.

A．	And that's totally fine
B．	That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C．	He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby
D．	Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E．	On August 5,the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F．	Similarly,if you speak only Chinese,receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G．	In short,he loves postcards,and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
