    The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part - particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

               The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

    Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.

    Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where - luckily for me - I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.

    (1)、What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

    A、Exciting B、Boring C、Relaxing D、Annoying
    (2)、What made the author's getting up late early worthwhile?

    A、Having a swim. B、Breathing in fresh air. C、Walking in the morning sun. D、Visiting a local farmer's market.
    (3)、What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

    A、They are soft. B、They look nice. C、They taste great. D、They are juicy.
    (4)、What was the author going to that evening?

    A、Go to a farm. B、 Check into a hotel. C、Eat in a restaurant. D、Buy fresh vegetables

            Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.

            The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

            The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.

            The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

    (1)、Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?

    A、Optimistic B、Productive C、Generous D、Traditional
    (2)、What is Dali's The Persistence of Memory considered to be?

    A、One of his masterworks. B、A successful screen adaptation. C、An artistic creation for the stage. D、One of the best TV programmes.
    (3)、How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?

    A、By popularity. B、By importance. C、By size and shape. D、By time and subject.
    (4)、What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?

    A、Artworks B、Projects C、Donations D、Documents

    Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn't always easy. They customers - some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session - care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,' or ‘people think',” Lehane told them. “Say ‘I think,' ‘Think me'.”

    A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more un-French. But Lehanne's psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle - longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.

    The city's psychology cafes, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. “There's a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist”, she says, “If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.” But them, it wouldn't be France.

    (1)、What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?

    A、Learn a new subject B、Keep in touch with friends. C、Show off their knowledge. D、Express their true feelings.
    (2)、How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?

    A、They are less frequently visited. B、They stay open for longer hours. C、They have bigger night crowds. D、They start to serve fast food.
    (3)、What are theme cafes expected to do?

    A、Create more jobs. B、Supply better drinks. C、Save the cafe business. D、Serve the neighborhood.
    (4)、Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?

    A、They bring people true friendship. B、They give people spiritual support. C、They help people realize their dreams. D、They offer a platform for business links.

    Building Trust in a Relationship Again

            Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences,  .Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

    Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore, . It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.

             having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.         

    • If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated.
    •             You didn't lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.  instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
    •    A, Learn to really trust yourself.

    •    C, Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

        My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “ 1 my job. Family to Feed.”

        At this store, a 2 like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make a 3on how bad it must be to have to stand 4in the cold wind.

        In the store, I asked each of my kids to 5something they thought our “friend” there would6. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a 7. I thought about it. We were 8on cash ourselves, but… well, sometimes9 from our need instead of our abundance is10what we need to do! All the kids 11 something they could do away with for the week.

        When we handed him the bag of 12 , he lit up and thanked us with 13 eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for 14his family might need, he burst into tears.

        This has been a wonderful 15 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 16! Things would have played out so 17 if I had simply said, “No, we really don't have 18 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in 19 , it also gave my kids the 20taste of helping others. It'll go a long way with them.

    Yangshuo, China

                    It was raining lightly when I(arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn't care. A few hours, I'd been at home in Hong Kong, with  (it) choking smog. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.

                  I'd skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li Riverare pictured by artists in so many Chinese (painting). Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour awaycar and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.

                 Yangshuo (be) really beautiful. A study of travelers  (conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it  (regular) arranges quick getaways here for people  (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

    When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there. Now I am living in a city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately, on the development of industrialization, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out . We must found ways to protect your environment. If we fail to do so ,we'll live to regret it .
