• 1．September is one of the very best months to visit France.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 get started planning your vacation!
     Go 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（葡萄園） 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 in between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable.
     Take a Barge Cruise
     The temperatures are slightly lower，but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France.With such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year，nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge.
     Visit the Museums
     Many museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to accommodate the extra tourists and locals，and some museums also have extended opening hours into September.Wandering around the Louvre will take you into a wonder world，where you can enjoy world-famous art.Going out of the Louvre，you can walk to the modern and fashionable Champs Elysees to do some shopping.

• 2．    "I hate school，and I'm not going back!"Have you ever had that thought？Lots of kids have had.Usually this feeling doesn't last long.But what if you feel this way too much？
      A kid who feels stressed about school might have headaches or stomachaches.Having trouble sleeping is also a sign of stress.And if you're not getting enough sleep，you probably feel tired during the day.Feeling tired can make your school day even worse.
      Sometimes it's a problem with your classes and schoolwork.Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored.Or maybe the work is too hard，or you don't feel as clever as the other kids.Reading may be difficult for you，but you are asked to do a lot of it.You may be getting farther and farther behind，and it may seem that you will never catch up with others.When you know why you don't like school，you can start taking steps to make things better.
      It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school.Your mom，dad，friends，teachers，or even classmates will be able to help you.
      Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school.For instance，keep a diary or just write in a notebook.It's a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you.And you don't have to share what you have written with others.
      The next time you find yourself disliking school，this will also help you：Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy—even there is only one thing.See what you can change on "don't like"list.Could you find a way to show off your special interests and talents on what you like？Which activities could you try that would help you solve these "don't like"problems？ Focus on what you can change and you might be able to put the good feeling back in school!

• 3．Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2 D2 or the robot from Lost in Space，but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
     Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas.Aside from the earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
     Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
     The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.
     Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
  
  （1）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Development of Robots
  B．The Discovery of Space Exploration
  C．No Robots，No Space Exploration
  D．Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
  （2）The underlined word "withstand" in Paragraph 2 most probably means "

  ".
  A．remain
  B．bear
  C．defeat
  D．develop
  （3）According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？

  
  A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
  B．It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
  C．Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
  D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
  （4）What is the writer's attitude in this passage？

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Persuasive.
  C．Subjective.
  D．Objective.
