A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the

most out of your visit, read our tips below：

Visit at Night

Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris,

you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level ，the

spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the

reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.

Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online

Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket

online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select

whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient

option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.

Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You

Before entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security

officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take

you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours

behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.

Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower

If you’re like us，after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower，you’ll be ready

to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across

the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is

great ，but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for

common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.

1．Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?

A．Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.

B．Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.

D．Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible.

2．What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Stand. B．Avoid.

C．Control. D．Remember.

3．Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?

A．Because they didn’t seize the chance.

B．Because they lost valuable objects.

C．Because they s et off the metal detector.

D．Because they had a quarrel with the officer.

4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

B．The Eiffel Tower provides expensive foods and drinks.

C．The author prefers to eat across the Seine.

D．You spend more if you have snacks at the Tower.

Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an old

person company and helps him remember to take medicine. That is the shared

dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence,

Rhode Island. The researchers received a 3-million-dollar award from the

National Science Foundation for the special project. They want to find ways to

add artificial intelligence, or AI, to Hasbro's “Joy for All” robot.

The cat has already been on sale for several years. Though priced at over

1,000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for old

people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat.

Researchers at Brown's Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative are working to

decide which activities old adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat

perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost

objects and reminding the person to take medicine or to see a doctor. They also

want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.

It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary

Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia. The “Joy for All” cat

that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays

with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat

that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she

walks would be greater.

The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete

helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want

a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its

head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they

hope to create an exchange between humans and the cat in which humans feel the

cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent

feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.

5．What's the purpose of the project?

A．To relieve the pain of the elderly. B．To promote the sales of a robot.

C．To invent a robotic cat for the elderly. D．To help make the robotic cat

smarter.

6．Compared with the old model, what will the new robotic cat be like?

A．Smaller. B．Cheaper. C．More talkative. D．Softer.

7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.

B．Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.

C．Each family can afford such a cat in the future.

D．The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.

In a recent study of 19-month-olds, University of Chicago doctoral student

Lauren Howard found that children who heard various languages in their

neighborhoods were more receptive to people who spoke languages other than

their parents ‘language.

“We measured imitation. At this age, that’s how they show us their

willingness to learn, ”explained Howard. The lead author of the report titled

Neighborhood Linguistic Diversity Predicts Infants' Social Learning. The

experiments tested how well the babies could learn new tasks from a non- English

speaker.

The study, which included 82 children from the Chicago and Washington

areas, was in the November issue of Cognition.

“Babies are not only affected by parents and caregivers--- previous studies

proved that --but also by people they hear at the store or on the bus, "Howard

said. “Incidental exposure matters.”

The study indicates that kids in diverse communities may grow up to have

open minds. Good news for families living in such neighborhoods--- but can other

families do something to increase children's cultural exposure？

Cultural diversity can be within reach, even in unlikely areas. Although she

grew up in not very diverse"， Julie, 23， said she picked up much knowledge

about other languages and cultures from the many students her family hosted

through the AFS-USA international student exchange program.

“It’s the little differences that make you more understanding and less

judgmental, ”Julie said “Yuilya from Kazakhstan, for example, was very

disciplined because she couldn't go to college unless her grades were good.

Matias from Paraguay wasn't used to being on time because his culture is more

laid-back. ”

For families unable to host a student for a whole year, AFS-USA offers other

volunteer opportunities, such as being “welcome families ”to ease students ’

transitions（过渡）.

But there are countless ways to expose kids to other countries, said Lucas,

author of “Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be at Home in the World.”

Just a few of her tips: Take the kids to foreign films. Try exotic restaurants.

Put a world map on the wall. Help your children’s teachers make global

classrooms. Encourage the kids to invite friends of other cultures for dinner.

“They’ll thank you later, "Lucas said.

8．What does Howard stress by saying "Incidental exposure matters"？

A．Babies are also influenced by people outside their home

B．Parents fail to realize the importance of incidental learning

C．Parents and caregivers have more influence on babies

D．Babies learn little knowledge at the store or on the bus.

9．How was Julie exposed to different cultures？

A．She frequently volunteered in some welcome families

B．She lived in neighborhoods with various language learn

C．She was a member of the AFS-USA program

D．She learned from the foreign students living in her home

10．Which might be Julie's attitude to Matias's lateness？

A．Curious B．Happy

C．Tolerant D．anger

11．What are Lucas's tips mainly about？

A．How to improve children’s behavior
