If you are planning a tour to France, September is one of the best choices. 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!
Visiting Museums
Many museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to adapt to the extra tourists from home and abroad, and some museums also have extended opening hours into September.

Going out of the Louvre, you can walk to the modem and fashionable Chumps Elysees to do some shopping.
Taking a Cruise(乘船游览)

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.
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.

When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music papers. The behavior is normal, because these crowds are truly wild—wild monkeys to be exact.
Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for its populations of wild monkeys. He has played at four sites, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a store and an old movie theater. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the Corona Vims Crisis in 2020. The disease has caused problems
for the monkeys, too. They are hungry. The restrictions (限制)on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.
The monkeys quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven's For Alice and Michael Nyman's Diary of Love. Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head. But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument. Other monkeys take control of his music papers.
"It's a wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves. I was surprised to find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it. I wasn't going to let those things distract from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful creatures. We need to make an effort to make sure that they can eat properly so that they will be calmer and will not be aggressive. "said Barton.
The monkeys are Barton's latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas. Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys, hunger. At the same time, he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music.
24. Why did the musician play to the wild monkeys?

Though it is not good for us to expose ourselves to sunlight for too long, allowing ourselves appropriate amount of exposure to sunlight gives us many benefits and affects us in a number of ways.
Without the sun, life would not have developed. It gives us energy and heats our world. The sun gives us light and thus in turn we are able to see the beautiful colors in our world. It makes us feel good when we feel the warmth of its rays on our shoulders. We store the energy from the sun to help build and heat our houses.
Without sunlight we would not be able to survive. Sunlight gives balance. All living things live in a food chain and at the beginning of the food chain conies the plant which absorbs sunlight and transforms light energy into chemical energy ,which will then be absorbed by another life to be turned into a new kind of energy and so on.
One of the benefits that we can get from sunlight is that we can receive vitamin D from sunlight. It helps us to keep a healthy body, control the amount of minerals in the body, which is needed to help keep our bones and teeth in good condition and helps to keep a well-balanced mind.
Different places on the earth receive varying degrees of sunlight, which will decide the region's climate. For example, the farther away it is from the equator (赤道),the sharper the angle of the sun's rays that reach it, which means that sunlight coverage will be more spread out, and receive less heat than lower latitude(纬度)areas nearer the equator.
28. Why does sunlight give balance?
A. It helps to pass energy. B. Il helps to absorb energy.
C. It helps to form new lives. D. It helps to protect new lives.
29. In which aspect can sunlight assist people?
A. Reducing the amount of minerals. B. Improving the nerve system.
C. Keeping the bones and teeth healthy. D. Obtaining a well-balanced diet.
30. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Which place is the hottest. B. How sunlight affects the climate.
C. How to get more sunlight. D. How much sunlight a place needs.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Avoiding Being Exposed to Sunlight Too Long
B. Varying Degrees of Sunlight on the World
C. Benefits of Sunlight on the World
D. Making Full Use of Sunlight

Drinking coffee as soon as one wakes up from a night's sleep greatly affects metabolism (新陈代谢) and blood sugar responses. Scientists published this in the British Journal of Nutrition,
In the study, the UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal night's sleep, and then again after a greatly disturbed night's sleep. In the third, their sleep was similarly, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before having the sugary drink.
Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drinkin each experiment. Results showed that one night of disturbed sleep did not worsen the participants9 blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.
By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies, ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee through a range of different metabolic markers, researchers found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee-the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed shakes some coffee drinkers. Up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go. "said Professor James Bette, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition at the University of Bath.
32. How did the UK researchers get the result of the experiment?
A. By theoretical analysis. B. By comparative experiments.
C. By doing questionnaires. D. By consulting journals.
33. What can we learn from the experiment?
A. A poor night sleep surely affects blood sugar responses.
B. Drinking coffee after breakfast docs much harm to health.
C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on one's metabolism.
D. Drinking coffee at different lime has different effects on health.
34. What does James Bette think of the study?
A. It makes no sense. B. It is limited and blind.
C. It remains to be continued. D. It is particular and precise.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Harms of drinking coffee before breakfast.
B. What weakens ones' blood sugar responses.
C. How much coffee one should drink a day.
D. The effective procedure for blood sugar control.

Professor Philip Davis, author of a book called Reading for life, studies people in reading groups and found that it's reading literature (only written work thought to have artistic value) that has the best effect. When reading something for pleasure, he said ”...・the brain begins to work from different parts, and it gets excited, it gets pre — emotional. 38 ."
In our smart phone time, we tend to abandon a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a lx>ok could be a simple way to keep our mental health on. 39.And it may allow you to see the awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's point of view.
40 .Refer to the Reading Agency's book list, or you could read some book reviews, visit a library or ask a friend. Once you've found the right one, you'll be fascinated !
