2 . 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.

3 . It was dangerously cold. A few drivers slipping and sliding off the road and back on again had cut deep ruts（车辙）in the mud. And the ruts became frozen solid. The drum of our truck’s aging engine worried us.

Trees and bushes heavy with snow bent to form an icy tunnel. We inched along the scary route as Howard grasped the steering wheel（方向盘）tightly, trying to keep the truck in the ruts. We were now riding through a nightmare with no going back. I kept praying the truck would not quit.

However, the engine’s coughing grew worse. We came to a bumping stop. Hot tears ran down my face. We noticed a small house off in the distance. “I will go for help.” Howard’s words ruined my common sense and panic took over. We would take the children — we would walk to that house together!

But the snow was deep, and our two children, asleep in the cab, were too heavy to carry. My husband convinced me to let him go alone. If no one was home or they didn’t answer the door, he would come back and we’d try to hike out to a main road. For now, it was safer in the truck. I wish I could say I have faith, but when he walked away, I was mad at the world.

It seemed as if hours had passed before I heard a familiar voice and a kind laugh of another man as they approached in the snow. The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting. Two wide-awake kids moved across the seat, ready for adventure. Their voices and laughter carried in the cold night air. When we finally got close, a cheerful woman opened the door. Warm air and the smell of hot buttered popcorn and chocolate drew us in.

Relieved, my prayers were heard!

1. What made the author worried after Howard left the truck?

A．Her being locked in the truck.

B．Howard’s failure to get the help.

C．Children’s fear in the freezing night.

D．The truck’s sudden move in the frozen mud.

A．They were willing to offer help.

B．They loved making friends with children.

C．They enjoyed cooking in cold winter nights.

D．They came across the Howards on the way home.

3. What would be the best title of the passage?

A．A Scary Night	B．Man’s Prayer
C．A Truck Accident	D．God’s Answer

6 . I was driving home late    1    my car lost momentum (动力) and got slower and slower. Nothing I did seemed to make any    2     (different). “It can’t be fuel, ” I thought. The petrol gauge (汽油标量) was showing I had plenty    3    (leave). Then my car died completely after I    4    ( manage) to roll to the side of the road. It was an extremely dark, lonely country road. Neither a single person     5    any traffic was in sight at all. I felt like an idiot. I should not have left without charging my cell phone. The battery was dead and I was alone without any way    6    (contact) my family. Time dripped slowly like a leaking tap.

“God, help me !” I begged anxiously. “Is there someone who will be kind enough to stop and help me out?”     7    , there was no sign of anyone. I was starting to panic,    8    (feel) completely abandoned. Suddenly I saw a faint light     9    the distance. I waved my white scarf as hard as possible. It was a huge lorry. The driver stopped and kindly drove me to the nearest hotel,     10    I had a rest, and I called my family and explained what had happened. How lucky I was! When he stopped for me, I felt as if I had just found a million dollars.

Dear Mum and Dad,

In London at last, we are having great time!

To stay in a hotel in an old castle, and we tried to make a reservation. However, that hotel was booked full. So, instead, we get a couple of beds in a dormitory. Stay in a dormitory was a lot of fun because there were lots of people from various place.

If you had come without us, you would have enjoyed Europe either. All of the paintings I’ve seen so far is fantastic. Now I think van Gogh is his favourite artist.

Is there anything specially I can bring you?

Li Ming
