France has the most beautiful castles (城堡) throughout Europe. Here are some of the best French castles to visit. You’ll surely want to visit one of them during your travels in France. Have a look and enjoy!
Château de Versailles
The Château de Versailles is about 20 kms southwest of Paris. When the castle was built, Versailles was a small village. Today, however, it is a famous area in Paris. The castle was built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis XIII in the 1620s. Years later, he made it bigger.

Château de Chambord
The Château de Chambord is one of the largest castles around the world. It sits in the Loire Valley. Being at the heart of Europe’s largest enclosed wooded park, Chambord, it was built for King Francis I to serve as a hunting lodge. It is one of the world’s most well-known castles in the world because of its French Renaissance (文艺复兴) building.
Château de Chenonceau
As one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, the castle was built during the 11th century on the River Cher. It was passed through many hands. The castle was not destroyed during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles.
Château de Chantilly
This historic castle sits in the town of Chantilly, France. This beautiful castle is made up of two buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s.

Dear Hamilton,
We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you.
You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral (葬礼) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.
It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.
This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.
Thank you for understanding.
5. The underlined word “contributions” probably means __________.
A. money B. suggestions C. reports D. understanding
6. Hamilton is expected to __________.
A. show more kindness. B. discontinue the present practice
C. quit being the organizer for gift giving D. know more about co-workers’ families
7. This is basically a letter of __________.
A. apology B. sympathy C. appreciation D. dissatisfaction
C
A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.
The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues.
“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.
The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults.. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media. ”
The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Face book, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also "visited various social media 30 times per week. ”
Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.
Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be the most effective.
8.What's the main idea of the text?
A. The researchers focus on social media. B. The researchers manage to handle sleep problems
C. Social media affects sleep. D. Doctors treat young patients.
9.When treating sleep problems, doctors are advised to________________ .
A. offer some advice about giving up social media
B. ask the patients about young adults’ use of social media
C .give young adults some medicine
D .ask about the patients' living conditions
10. How did the researchers mainly carry out the study?
A. By doing online research. B. By doing questionnaires.
C. By collecting published data. D. By giving an example.
11.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women.
B. People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder.
C. Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely.
D. Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media.
D
Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …”
12. How did the author feel on that rainy day?
A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Happy. D. Proud.
13. What was the author asked to do?
A. Take care of patients. B. Leave earlier that day.
C. Leave the hospital. D. Help the laid-off workers.
14. How did the author help the Cookie Lady?
A. He offered her a high-paid job. B. He gave her advice on job hunting.
C. He made her story known to others. D. He taught her how to pass an interview.
15. What does the story tell us?
A. Good deeds have their rewards. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Little people can make a big difference.D. Love brings more joy to people than work does.

Spreading smiles at Birchwood
When Ava McCarver was in kindergarten, her class visited a nursing home (疗养院). Ava learned that many of the residents (住户) there receive few visitors. 16 “I asked my mom if I could visit them,” she says. Soon, Ava and her mom became volunteers at Birchwood Health Care Center.
That was six years ago. 17 She enjoys hanging out with Mary, Shirley and other residents during her twice-monthly visits. “I paint their nails, and I talk to a lot of them,” she says. Sometimes she helps lead craft (手工艺) projects. Other times they play card games. “It’s good for the residents to see little kids,” Ava says. “That makes them really happy.”
18 She has raised money for the nursing home by making refrigerator decorations and selling them at a craft fair. She has also collected used puzzles from garage sales and donated them to Birchwood.
Ava wrote a book called The Squirrel Family. In the book, two squirrels raise a family and eventually move into a place called Birchwood where they live happily. 19 Ten stores in her city agreed to display the books, along with a can to collect money. Ava’s project raised about $750. Birchwood used that money to buy furniture for the residents.
Ava says she enjoyed the look of “pure joy” on a resident’s face after a hug from her. That’s why she started visiting Birchwood — to bring happiness to others. 20 “It’s really fun,” she says. “They have good stories, and I enjoy my time there.”
A. She decided to take action.
B. But she has gained happiness for herself, too.
C. Since then, Ava has made many friends at Birchwood.
D. Ava used her book to raise money for the nursing home.
E. Birchwood needs more volunteers for its craft project.
F. Ava has found some creative ways to help her friends at Birchwood.
G. Ava’s book has achieved a great success and earned a large amount of money for her.

This is some of my advice, and I hope it can be of some help to you. May you succeed! Best wishes and good luck.
