Finally , I thought he realized I was   42 , and I got my first big tip as a 43 : “Never,never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you’ll run into. ”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from   44  in class. I got an A on the entire project.
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I _45 _Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn’t __46__me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and   47 all my life I had to run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. _48__gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was   49 .
For the past 12 years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career, __50 __ stories from murders to airplane crashes and   51 choosing my strongest area. 52 _ I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been __53__Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

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.
