When most people think of France, they think of fine wine and cuisine, scenery and a comfortable lifestyle, which is the envy of the rest of the world. The diverse landscape includes huge mountain ranges, acres of green countryside and long stretches (一片）of coastline. Paris aside, here are our choices for three of the most beautiful places to visit in France (in no particular order).

Loire Valley

An area of outstanding natural beauty, the Loire Valley is also known as the garden of France. The valley covers over 280km and is in the beautiful middle stretch of the Loire River in central France. It5s filled with so much culturally and historically important architecture and it has earned itself a world heritage site (世界遗产地）status. As one of the most visited places in France, it’s known for its large collection of fairy-tale-like castles and mansions (大厦)，exceptionally beautiful landscapes and one of the most striking rivers in Europe. Mont Saint-Michel

Second only to the Eiffel Tower as France’s best-loved landmark, Mont St-Michel is a rocky island connected by a causeway (堤道）to northwest France. It’s a splendid sight sitting among sandbanks and powerful tides but the heritage site is most celebrated for its Gothic-style Benedictine

abbey (修道院).Directly below the abbey is a village with winding streets dotted with small houses and souvenir shops. Cote d’Azur

Mediterranean coastline of southeast France soaked (浸透的）by the sun which is also known as the French Riviera. The wonderful place has attracted many famous visitors over the decades and its miles of beautiful coastline and blue waters easily make it one of the most beautiful places to visit in France. Also pay a visit to the stylish coastal cities of Nice, Cannes and St-Tropez all here — they still remain holiday attractions even today.

2. What is the most unusual feature of Mont Saint-Michel? A. Beautiful gardens.

My friend Susan had a solution to spend her days stressed out as the marketing director for a global tech company: shoes. She knew no problem could truly be solved by buying a new pair.

But she told herself she could afford it and shoes made her happy.

For Susan, even the act of going online to browse(浏览）the new arrivals at her favorite online shops was thrilling. When her box of shoes arrived, it was like Christmas morning. But when the box was opened and the shoes were tried on, admired and put away, Susan was left to wonder: Now what?

“I rarely regretted a purchase, but having a new pair did not make me want more pairs any less,” she told me. “They may have filled a need, but they didn’t make me any happier，and it is not like imagining me in them.” detail therapy (购物疗法）has long been a tool for the stressed-out, brokenhearted or just plain bored. Some figures, including a survey by online retailer EBates, put the number of Americans who go shopping to feel better at more than half.

In many ways, retail therapy works: A great dress or a sharp, well-fitting suit can comfort the soul and provide a confidence lift that helps you land a job or inspire creativity. According to a 2011 study published in the Journal of Psychology and Marketing, retail therapy can positively affect your mood. The study notes that 28% of shoppers have purchased something to celebrate an occasion or personal victory and 62% to cheer themselves up. Indeed, many studies have shown, money can buy happiness. A December 2012 study published in the journal Emotion finds well-being rises with income at all levels of income and that richer families and countries are happier than poorer ones.

But retail therapy might not work quite in the way consumers assume it works. That’s because the happiness that buying something provides is not from acquiring the item, or from the item itself, but from targeting it, wanting it and expecting its arrival into your life. That is, what online shopping can provide is a result of the act of desiring more than the act of fulfilling. 4. How did Susan feel during her whole purchase? A. Eager→ regretful. B. Proud →disappointed. C. Anxious → satisfied. D. Excited →lost. 5. When did Susan feel happiest? A. Surfing online.

B. Meeting her demand for new shoes. C. Imagining herself in shoes. D. Trying her shoes on.

6. In what way is retail therapy helpful? A. It promotes confidence. B. It makes people attractive. C. It increases job efficiency. D. It brings popularity.

7. What brings happiness to shoppers? A. Satisfaction. B. Achievement. C. Possession. D. Expectation.

C

During Christmas festivals, millions of people around the world will no doubt experience rapid mimicry (模仿）—a mirroring of another person’s facial expressions — as they exchange smiles over gifts, good meals and holiday traditions. This phenomenon, observed in humans and many other primates (灵长类动物），is considered a basic building block of our ability to feel empathy

(共鸣). “When your friend smiles, you don’t know why exactly, but immediately react with the same smile to him or her,”says Elisabetta Palagi, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Pisa in Italy.

For the first time, Palagi and her colleagues have shown that dogs use rapid mimicry with other dogs to strengthen social bonds. The findings don’t come as too muc …… 此处隐藏：11315字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
