Travelling in Paris

The uniform sandstone of the Haussmann buildings, the variety of golden historic monuments, and the

attractive Seine and its elegant bridges have arguably made Paris the most recognizable and romanticized cityscape

in the world. But though the city wears its history with characteristic style, it is also increasingly looking to the

future and outwards to the rest of the world.

Where to go

Those looking to explore the city’s rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or

wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Paris’s countless historical churches. For more

contemporary tastes, there’s plenty of exploring to be done in the less jam-packed outer regions-from arts venues

(场所) on the sloping streets of Belleville to the luxurious hotels and reinvented bars.

When to go

You can come to Paris any time but the atmosphere is quite different at different times of year. Winter is a time

for festivals and feasting on games and oysters (牡蛎). Spring and early summer are the time to make the most of

city parks and café terraces, with fireworks set off on June 21 and military parade held on July 14. In August the

capital slows down and some people love it for the feeling of calm. The autumn renewable activities start with a

burst of energy for the new cultural season and big exhibition openings.

What to buy

Choose from one of the tastiest cheese selections in the city at La Fermetteon Rue Montorgueil and vacuum-

pack your selection to bring home.

Know before you go

Embassy/Consulate: 0144513100; ukinfrance. fco. gov. uk for passports and most other visitor services.

1. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A geography textbook. B. A travel brochure.

C. An academic paper. D. A science magazine.

3. In which season could you go to Paris for cultural activities?

A. Spring. B. Winter. C. Autumn. D. Summer.

It’s an unconventional setting. Children of varying ages are reading actively. Seated next to them are

teenagers, many of them girls, staring at the Hindi alphabet(字母表)on the blackboard. In charge of this class are

three young girls, not much older than their students. But when Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina, no more than 22,

start speaking, you know the difference. Their confidence takes you by surprise.

A little over 10 kilometres from Varanasi lies the village of Sajoi where illiteracy(文盲)was quite common. It

had blocked out modernity until recently, especially when it came to its women. Educating girls was considered

pointless, and the possibility of women stepping out of their homes, unthinkable.

Things began to change in 2010 when Human Welfare Association (HWA), identified Sajoi for a planned

intervention. HWA set up a centre in Sajoi to offer free education but the villagers needed to be convinced to join

in. The organization needed volunteers who valued education. Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina embraced the

opportunity.

After completing their high school education, the girls set out on another important mission-persuading the

locals to send their children to schools. “We went knocking at every door, talking to elders, “recalls Rubina. Some

villagers asked them to mind their own business. “We didn’t let all this distract our attention from the main goal, ”

Rubina says.

The girls honed their approach. They didn’t ask people to stop their children from working, but urged them to

send them to schools for an hour or two. Slowly, children started trickling(缓慢增加)in. Motivational Learning

Centre, as the girls call it, is no replacement for school. It is there, in fact, that they create the hunger for

knowledge. It also helps school-going children so they don’t lose interest and drop out.

Those who doubted the girls’ intentions now recommend the centre to others. The number of admissions to

schools has steadily increased and the dropout rate in Sajoi has fallen.

4. How does the author start the text?

A. By describing a typical scene.

B. By comparing different views.

C. By analyzing certain reasons.

D. By providing background information.

5. What was the major obstacle for girls to receive education in Sajoi?

A. Most families had a tight budget.

B. They were engaged in working.

C. The locals didn’t value education much.

D. The educational resources were insufficient.

6. What does the underlined word “honed” mean in paragraph 5?

A. Abandoned.

B. Explained.

C. Adopted.

D. Improved.

7. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To explain the consequences of poor knowledge.

B. To show efforts to fight against illiteracy in India.

C. To reflect on the current educational situation in India.

D. To inform us of the urgent need for the youth to get educated.

If you’ve ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be. Native languages seem almost built

in. But learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary

lists to memorize and troublesome rules to master. Nevertheless, it’s worth the effort.

John Grundy, a scientist at Iowa State University who specializes in languages and the brain, explains that

learning a new language causes extensive neuroplasticity (神经塑性) in the brain. In other words, when you learn a

new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. “It’s really just

a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient,” Grundy says.

These changes don’t help with just language functions. Chung-Fat-Yim, a post-doctoral researcher at

Northwestern University, says they affect the whole executive processing part of the brain, what she calls the CEO

of the brain. Bilinguals (双语者) use that area for language control, but also for other purposes such as the ability to
