Paris is one of the most-visited destinations in the world. A

relaxing trip to Paris takes a little bit of planning. Here are some

tips for you to make your trip smooth.

Planning your trip

Have a passport for international travel. A passport costs

$110 and takes 6-8weeks to arrive after you apply.

Booking Flights

The cheapest month to fly is March, especially if you can

leave on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. You’ll save even

more money by booking around 90 days in advance. In the

summer months, tickets will be more expensive no matter when

you book.

Enjoying Your Time

●Visit the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is the most recognizable symbol of Paris.

To avoid the crowds, go to the Eiffel Tower early in the

morning. It costs €25 to go to the top, or €10 to climb to the first

2 levels on foot.

● See the Notre Dame Cathedral

At present, the Notre Dame Cathedral is closed to tourists

due to the fire that destroyed parts of the cathedral. However,

you can still visit the outside of the cathedral.

● Go to the Louvre to see world-famous art

The Louvre hosts the Mona Lisa along with 35, 000 other

pieces of art. If you’re pressed for time, visit the highlights. The

Louvre costs €15 at the museum or €17 in advance (to skip most

of the line).

● Take a day trip to Versailles

If you have a day to spare, head to the palace of Versailles,

around 14 miles southwest of the city. Take a tour to see King

Louis XVI’s palace and gardens. It costs €20 to visit the palace

and grounds.

among the four

attractions.

3. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A course plan. B. A travel brochure.

What do you do with the things you love? You probably

take care of them and keep them safe. That’s not what Cameron

Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of

books by giving them away.

When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in

a house fire, he was looking for a way to help them. He was sad

that all of their books were destroyed. That’s when he created

his program, which gives books away to people in need.

Cameron’s program collects books for young people of all

ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind

or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have

books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about

their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they

might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can

give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving

away books.

Many of the books were given to him by others, but

Cameron’s grandmother also shops for books that don’t cost a

lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to

working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books

to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries,

and day camps.

Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing.

Over the past six years, he has given away more than 5, 000

books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program

has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas,

Cameron was able to give away toys and books. Cameron Payne

is making a difference in kids’ lives by giving away the things

he loves. Who needs help in your community? How might you

help?

4．What caused Cameron to create his program?

Paragraphs 3-4?

C．Children with hearing loss can receive new books.

collection.

6．Why does the author put two questions in the last paragraph?

A．To attract readers’ interest.

B．To call on people to help others.

C．To appeal to people’s sense of justice.

D．To leave a deep impression on readers.

7．Which words best describe Cameron?

A．Selfless and caring. B．Creative and

calm.

C．Patient and sensitive. D．Confident

Some people say global English is no longer just controlled

by British or American English, but is running free and

developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the

following terms?

“I like your smile,but unlike you put your shoes on my

face.”This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people

mountain,people sea”, which

means“very crowded”.

These examples are what we call Chinglish.When it comes

to Chinglish, if all you know is“good good study,day day

up”,you will be considered“out man”.

Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for

example, a Chinese idiom is translated as“smilence”, a

combination by the English word smile and silence.

Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the

English

language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They

are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors.

Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years.

“I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and

badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us

foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the

translations of English in China were all perfect, then something

would be lost from Chinese culture.”

However, Chinglish will probably become a“cultural

relic”in the near future. Beijing has made a plan to improve

foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five

years. “It is very ridiculous ( 荒唐的) to see Chinglish on the

signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for

communication between Chinese and people from other

countries,” a Beijinger said.

Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They

argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages

such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s

turn.

8．What is Chinglish?

A．English words which get new Chinese meanings.

B．The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.

C．The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese

grammar.

D．The local words preventing foreigners from learning

Chinese well.

9．What does “smilence” most probably mean?

A．Saying nothing but to smile.

B．Smiling without being noticed.

C．Laughing at somebody.

D．Knowing little about speech.

10．What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?

A．It can show the humour of Chinese.

B．It will attract more foreign tourists.

C．It helps him to learn Chinese well.

D．It seems part of Chinese culture.

11．Why Chinglish is likely to become a“cultural relic”in

Beijing?
