We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.
The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂欢) …
Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
| A．It was the first time for the writer to go to Paris. |
| B．It was a long way from London to Paris. |
| C．The writer lives in London. |
| D．The writer only likes to go to places she has never been to. |
The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.
| A．享受 | B．忍受 | C．站立 | D．位于 |
What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph?
| A．He doesn’t like shopping. | B．He doesn’t like travelling. |
| C．He is one of the writer’s relatives. | D．He isn’t a good husband. |
The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.
| A．has no bread that the writer likes | B．is often crowded with customers |
| C．don’t have anything the writer likes | D．is not very busy all the time |
What’s the best title for the passage?
| A．An unpleasant trip | B．A great city |
| C．A shopping centre | D．A trip to Paris |
As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of height. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3.30 p.m. and his parents worked until 6.00 p.m. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined (想象) himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself,“I can do it.”Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear (害怕) of height was gone.
Today Alain still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman (蜘蛛侠) to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101(one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes. He has no rope or other safety tools.
Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to raise money for charity (for poor children and the homeless).When he climbs, he wants to send a massage to people. If you have a dream——something you really want to do, it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.”The underlined word “charity” means “______________” in Chinese.
| A．享受 | B．休闲 | C．慈善 | D．消费 |

Americans use many expressions (习语) with the word “dog”. Many people in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes (描述) a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard.
Very often, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
People also use dog expressions to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.What does “every dog has its day” mean?

| B．A person won’t change his way. |
