The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came

for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of

warmth and vitamin C (

维生素

C

), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies

and

warm

air,

I

sent

up

a

small

prayer

of

gratefulness.

Swimming

pools,

wine

tasting,

and

pink

sunsets(at

normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part

—

particularly to my taste,

dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables

—

was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that

proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or

shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the

Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed by many a broken,

vine

-ripened (

蔓上成熟的

) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes

for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re

unfailingly

dry, hard,

and tasteless. But I homed in,

with uncertainty

, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full

of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal

—

and at that moment, I realized that the

best

part

of

Sarasota

in

winter

was

going

to

be

eating

things

that

back

h

ome

in

New

York

I

wouldn’t

be

experiencing again for months.

Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove

Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where

―

luckily for me

—

I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be

ordering every tomato on it.

24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

A. Exciting.

B. Boring.

C. Relaxing.

D. Annoying.

25

. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?

A. Having a swim.

B. Breathing in fresh air.

C. Walking in the morning sun.

D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.

26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

A. They are soft.

B. They look nice.

C. They taste great.

D. They are juicy.

27. What was the author going to that evening?

A. Eat in a restaurant.

B. Check into a hotel.

C. Go to a farm.

D. Buy fresh vegetables.

Salvador Dali (1904

―

1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris

is

showing

its

respect

and admiration

for

the

artist

and his

powerful

personality

with

an

exhibition

bringing

together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition

the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly

The Persistence of Memory.

There is also

L’Enigme sans

Fin

from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television

programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.

The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (

无限

). “From the infinity small to

the infinity

large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the

showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-

theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.

The

fine

selection of

the

major

works

was

done

in

close

collaboration

(

合作

)

with

the

Museo Nacional

Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in

St. Petersburg, Florida.

28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?

A. Optimistic.

B. Productive

C. Generous.

D. Traditional.

29. What is Dali’s

The Persistence of Memory

considered to be?

A. One of his masterworks.

B. A successful screen adaptation.

C. An artistic creation for the stage.

D. One of the best TV programmes.

30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?

A. By popularity.

B. By importance.

C. By size and shape.

D. By time and subject.

31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Donations.

B. Projects.

C. Artworks.

D. Documents.

Conflict

is

on

the

menu

tonight

at

the

cafe

La

Chope.

This

evening,

as

on

every

Thursday

night,

psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”.

Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelin

gs. It isn’t always easy. The customers

—

some thirty

Parisians who pay just under $$ 2 (plus drinks) per session

—

are quick to intellectualize (

高谈阔论

), slow to open

up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels’, or ‘people think’,”

Lehann

e told them. “Say ‘I think’,

‘Think me’.”

A

cafe

society

where

no

intellectualizing

is

allowed?

It

couldn’t

seem

more

un

-

French.

But

Lehanne’s

psychology cafe

is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes.

Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victims to changes in the French lifestyle

—

longer working hours, a

fast-

food

boom

and

a

younger

generation’s

desire

to

spend

more

time

at

home.

Dozens

of new

theme

cafes

appear

to

change

the

situation.

Cafes

focused

around

psychology,

history,

and

engineering

are

catching

on,

filling tables well into the evening.

The

city

’

s

“

psychology

cafes

”

,

which

offer

great

comfort,

are

among

the

most

popular

places.

Middle-aged

homemakers,

retirees,

and

the

unemployed

come

to

such

cafes

to

talk

about

love,

anger,

and

dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne

’

s group just to learn to say what they feel.

“

There is a

strong

need

in

Paris

for

communication,

”

says

Maurice

Frisch,

a

cafe

La

Chope

regular

who

works

as

a

religious instructor in a nearby church.

“

People have few real friends. And they need to open up.

”

Lehanne says

she

’

d like to see psychology cafes all over France.

“

If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn

’

t exist,

”

she

says.

“

If

life

weren

’

t

a

battle,

people

wouldn

’

t

need

a

special

place

just

to

speak.

”

But

then,

it

wouldn

’

t

be
