The city damour (爱), where loved ones walk by the River Seine, kiss under the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy 36 candle-lit dinners at the famous Le Meurice restaurant. Across the city, “love locks”, 37 of a couples love are put on its famous bridges to stay there forever. But in the city of love, all is not as it seems. Instead of romantic streets, there are dirty ones; instead of world-class service, there are 36 waiters; and instead of carefully watched attractions, there are pickpockets. These are some of the 39 of tourists visiting the French capital who have been shocked after 40 a kind of Paris very different from the one seen in the popular films Chocolat and Amélie. The “Paris syndrome (综合症)”, as it is known, describes the feeling of disenchantment (觉醒) after building up a romantic view of the city. As there are expensive Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Cartier stores on the famous Champs-Elysées, it is easy to see why 60 percent of Chinese tourists 41 in Paris. But because they are often carrying large amounts of money, many Chinese tourists are being 42 by the citys pickpockets. “Sometimes, Chinese tourists try to 43 an ice cream with a 500-euro (3,867-yuan) bill,” Jean-Francois Zhou, president of the Chinese association of travel agencies in France, told Bloomberg. “They usually change large amounts of yuan to 44 money-changing fees, and the use of credit cards isnt as 45 in China as it is in Europe,” he 46 . However, stories of rude Parisians have long been told 47 Europe. The British have been teasing the French for being unfriendly for a long time, and even many French people outside of Paris admit that Parisians can be a little bad-tempered. But dig deeper than the general nice tourist interactions and youll find a 48 side to Paris and Parisians. If youre willing to go to places that you might not see in postcards, there are many incredibly (极为) beautiful and surprising 49 hidden all around the city that will give you a taste of the romance you 50 . Paris is simply a proud city that sometimes gets a little tired of tourists.36. A. tastyB. romanticC. deliciousD. wonderful37. A. symbolsB. signalsC. signsD. marks38.

They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernon's wetlands, south of Washington, D.C. They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January.The Audubon Society's first "Christmas Bird Count" took place 115 years ago in 1900. At that time, a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition - that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday.Birds are one of the surest indicators - or barometers - of the health of the ecology. Last year, the bird count recorded over 66 million birds of 2,403 different species.Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National Audubon Society.“The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America - 314 out of 588 species - are seriously threatened by climate change. The impacts sort of cut across all birds, all sizes, all kinds, all places”. Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying farther north during the winter months because of warmer weather. Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington, in the state of Virginia. “You get to see them at odd times of the year, a little earlier, staying a little later.”Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird populations. “You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world. That is impacting them, you know, doubly so.” David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society. In his words, “Christmas Bird Count data is becoming important not only in documenting current climate change, but in predicting the future effects of climate change on North American bird populations. If we know what to expect, we can start taking actions now to do something about it.”51The underlined word “That” in last paragraph probably refers to _.A. The beach B. The rocky shore line.C. The time of yearD.The rise of sea level52The main idea of the passage should be _.A. Climate change is affecting bird migrationB. People should take actions to stop global warmingC. The bird count records the number of birds every yearD. Birds are one of the surest indicators of health ecology （B）Who Are Todays Immigrants? The worlds population is more mobile today than ever before. In 2010, more than 200 million people left their home countries to live in a new country. This is about 3 percent of the total world population. Some experts believe that number will swell to 400 million by 2050. Rates of immigration have remained strong for the last 300 years, but patters of immigration have changed since World War II. The backgrounds and experiences of todays immigrants are different from those of the typical European immigrant of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Contemporary immigrants range from unskilled laborers to highly skilled professionals, and they come from and go to countries all over the world. In the nineteenth century and until World War II, immigration was primarily in one direction- from the Old World to the New World. This is no longer the case. Countries such as Russia and China, which have long been, and continue to be, significant source countries, are now also destination countries. There is also considerable mobility inside regions, such as from one European country to another, or among the countries of the former Soviet Union. In spite of such differences, the push and pull factors for immigration remain essentially the same as they were 100 years ago. Most people move to another country because they want a better life. For the majority of immigrants, this means better economic conditions. As in past generations, a labor shortage in one country often draws workers from another country, especially if wages are significantly higher. In some small countries, for example, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, there are more jobs than citizens. The demand for labor is so high that the majority of the population consists of foreign-born workers, ranging from highly skilled engineers and financial experts to domestic and construction workers. In traditional destination countries, such as the United States, however, labor needs have changed. Today, although there is still demand for unskilled labor, there is increasing demand for people with a high level of skill and education. The need for less skilled labor has shifted to other countries. As work on farms and in industry in the United States and Canada once drew workers from all over the world, now work in factories in Taiwan and south Korea attracts workers from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia. Most global immigration is legal: however, a large number of people also move across national borders illegally in pursuit of employment. Experts estimate that about 15 to 20 percent of immigrants worldwide are in their new countries illegally. The United States has the largest number of these immigrants, followed by So
