Not only will you get to enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm weather ，but the tourist season is beginning to wind down—which means cheaper airfares ，lower prices at hotels ，and fewer crowds. If this is your first trip to France，here is some handy information to help you get started planning your vacation! Go Wine Tasting September is the beginning of the grape harvest season in France，meaning there are plenty of wine-related events and festivals around the country. So September is a great time to visit the vineyards (葡萄园) around the country and go wine tasting. The Bordeaux ，Loire and Burgundy regions are all lovely and great places to visit vineyards. Besides that ，going to the castles of the Loire region between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable. Take a Barge Cruise (游艇巡游) The temperatures are slightly lower ，but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France. With such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year，nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge. Visit the Museums Many museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to accommodate the extra tourists and locals ，and some museums also have extended opening hours into September. Wandering around the Louvre (卢浮宫) will take you into a wonder world ，where you can enjoy world-famous art. Going out of the Louvre ，you can walk to the modern and fashionable Champs Elysees to do some shopping. Besides the above ，riding a bike through France’s villages is also a welcome activity for young visitors in September ，So，don’t hesitate and start to plan your September trip to France now. 1.

Hot and quiet. B. Cool and noisy. C. Cold and noisy. D. Warm and quiet. B When we see a person in trouble，the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble，does the same rule apply? This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from all icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves. The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “ I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly，but a helping hand isn’t bothering，right? ” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook. However，others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse” said the show’s creator David Attenborough，according to The Times. In this case，however，Mike Gunton，the executive producer of the series，said that this was a one-off (非经常的) situation “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this…They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope. ”he told the BBC. Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen ，wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro，“If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation，no matter how gut-wrenching，you stay out of the way, even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear. ” “There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you. ”Will Lawson，the show’s director，told Daily Mail. 4. What has led to a heated media discussion? A. The rescue of penguins from a gully. B. People’s various remarks on penguins. C. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully. D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties. 5. Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference? A. David Attenborough. B. Will Lawson. C. Paul Nicklen. D. Kathryn Shaw. 6. Which of the following best explains the word “gut-wrenching” underlined in Para 6? A. Making one confused， B. Making one heartbroken. C. Putting one in danger. D. Putting one in place. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals B. Protect Animals From Dying Out C. Human Interference on Dangerous Animals D. Help Animals in Trouble or Not C My mother has a dining table which sits right in the middle of her dining room. It was once buried beneath piles of papers—magazines, articles, copies of schedules for vacations she took back in the 1990s, and baby pictures of grand children who are now paying off their college loans. My brother Ross and I recently flew to New York to visit my mother. “Mom ， why don’t we go through all that stuff?” Ross said. “No. Don’t touch it!” my mother said. The next afternoon, when she couldn't find a bill she needed, Ross suggested it might be put somewhere in the dining room and that we find it together. “ Besides，” he said，“ all those papers are clearly stressing you out. ”However, my mother just said, “Are you boys hungry? ”And then she seemed to have lost herself in deep thought. On our last night there, my mother walked up to us with a small pile of unopened mails, which she had collected at the western edge of the dining table, and said ，“ Help me go through these. Sure ，” I said. When we had succeeded in separating wheat from chaff (谷壳) , I asked，“ Would you want to deal with another little pile of papers? ” My mother led the way, walking into the dining room the way an animal manager might be while entering a cage with tigers in it. Ross and 1 came in behind her and suddenly he reached for a pile of the papers on one side of the table. “No! ”my mother said sharply. “Let’s start at the other end. That’s where the older stuff is. ” Finally，we threw 95 percent of the stuff into paper shopping bags. Then I asked what she wanted us to do with them, and she surprised us all by saying, “Put them in the incinerator (垃圾焚化炉）. ” When I returned home, inspired by the visit to my mother, I sorted out my own accumulated （积累的） piles of papers, sold or gave away half of my possessions, and moved into a smaller house. It seems that my life has been cheaper and easier since then. And it proves that a small change does make a big difference. 8. What did the mother ask her children to do with these unopened mails? A. To bum them. B. To read them for her. C. To collect them together. D. To pick out the important ones among them. 9. When the mother walked into the dining room, she was ______. A. angry B. afraid C. impatient D. careful 10. What’s the author s attitude towards his mother s cleaning up the dining table? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uncertain. D. Unknown. 11. What might be the best title of the passage? A. The precious mail B. A visit to my mother C. A happy family reunion D. The lesson of the dining table D I was given the book Running on Faith written by Jason Lester as a birthday gift last month. After I started reading, I really couldn't keep my eyes off it. It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through obstacles to reach his goals. Jason Lester is a disabled extreme a
