Before coming to France， I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But， when I arrived in Paris， I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.
On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel， Dior， Pierre Cardin. In daily life， however， most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite， I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities， what people wear are usually casual dresses， such as T-shirts and jeans.
French people act as the fashion leaders， but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants（移民） from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential（有影響的） in this city. Therefore， you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.
1. France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world because             .
A. French people never wear fashionable clothes
B. French designers are creative
C. French people accept fashionable clothes and other styles
D. both B and C

D
Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional ( 專業(yè)的) trainers however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
67. This article is probably taken from ________.
A. a letter                      B. an advertisement  
C. a personal diary               D. a newspaper article
68. According to the passage parents whose children show a special interest in a sport _______.
A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sportsmen or women
B. try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training
C. have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods
D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. When young, sports men or women won’t have much time for their schoolwork
B. Early training may damage their muscles.
C. Most children may become professional sports men or women after a long period of training.
D. It’s very expensive for parents to support their child’s development in sports.
70. _______ can become the best players after many years of training.
A. Most people                                     B. Some people

Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict.
Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.
Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艱難的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.
Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.
60. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.
are always rich people             B. get well along with friends
C. may suffer financial difficulties      D. all the above
61. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______.
ways to get rid of shopping addiction
the signs of shopping addicts
the danger of shopping addiction
why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping
62. The underlined word “trauma” probably means “______”.
hurt       B. satisfaction      C. enjoyment    D. appreciation
63. The intended readers of the passage are ______.
teachers       B. doctors      C. students     D. education
