Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in
May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to
what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not.
Hotel Intercontinental Carlton
The film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on
a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re
lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting
in.
Cinema de la Plage
Throughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is
the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no
need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie.
Marché Forville
The Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’s delight. On most days, vendors sell
home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you
want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead.
La Croisette
La Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself.
Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way
while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures.
1. What is probably the intention of the text?
A. To introduce French culture. B. To present dining locations.
C. To publicize a film festival. D. To suggest tourism activities.
2. Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping?
A. Hotel Intercontinental Carlton. B. Cinema de la Plage.
C. Marché Forville. D. La Croisette.
3. What can be expected in Cannes during the festival?
A. Attending fashion shows. B. Watching movies outdoors.
C. Tasting imported farm produce. D. Experiencing sculpture production.
B
On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur
had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of
healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot- how he might make a difference to the food industry
—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code.
Then he went sailing down a snowy slope ( 坡) and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was
paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him
plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public
schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into
high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home
gardens.
Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as
both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s
lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk.
“People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional
quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through
schools that Musk's non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the
garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I
was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the
organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all
able to grow something.”
4. What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry?
A. An accident. B. Jamie Oliver’s speech.
C. The pandemic. D. The farm-to-table movement.
5. What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement?
A. It has mainly attracted young generations. B. It has just accomplished its target.
C. It may be stimulated by a lack of food security. D. It increases economic burdens for the poor.
6. Which of the following best describes Musk?
A. Charitable. B. Honest. C. Flexible. D. Strict.
7. Why is EVE taken as an example?
A. To demonstrate the program to be non-profit. B. To share his experience in a food desert.
C. To encourage people to start a free garden. D. To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.
C
I was trained as a gymnast in Hunan, China, in the 1970s. The government wanted to transfer (转学) me to a
school for athletes while my parents wanted me to become an engineer, because they firmly believed there was only
one sure way to happiness: a safe and well-paid job. But my dream was to become a Chinese opera singer.
Although I tried everything I could to go to opera school, I knew I was too old to be trained and my dream would
never come true.
But that’s so unfair. So I was determined to find another calling — books. I satisfied my hunger for parental
advice from the Fu Lei’s Family Letters by Fu Lei and Zhu Meifu, found my role model of an independent woman
from Jane Eyre, learned to be efficient from Cheaper by the Dozen, and inspired myself to study abroad after
reading Complete Works of Sanmao and Lessons from History.
I came to the U. S. in 1995 where I started comparative reading. Comparing and contrasting give scholars a
more complete understanding of a topic. So I thought, well, if comparative reading works for research, why not do
it in daily life too? So I started reading books in pairs. They can be about people who are involved in the same
event — Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson and John Adams by David McCullough, for example, or friends
with shared experiences. I also compare the same stories in different genres or similar stories from different
cultures, as Joseph Campbell did in his wonderful book The Power of Myth.
Books have given me a magic portal (入口) to connect with people of the past and the present. I have come to
believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a dream. Its most important purpose is to get us in touch with
where dreams come from, where passion comes from and where happiness comes from. Even a shattered (遭受极
大打击的) dream can do that for you. So may books be always with you.
