﹡After the fire, what now?
Bishop Patrick Chauvet, Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院)’s manager, admitted that the famous building would close for “five to six years” as he spoke with local business owners Wednesday. He added that it was unclear what the church’s 67 employees would be doing in the future. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that he wanted the church rebuilt in five years.
﹡What are the new rules?
While tourists can’t go inside the site itself, the area still may prove popular to those paying their respects. Visitors are welcome to write messages of support in both the main and local city halls.
The island that houses the church has been closed and the people there have been evacuated since the fire. Paris businessmen who depend on Notre Dame tourism are worried about the church’s future as well as their own.
﹡_________________________
It’s known that spring is a busy time for tourists in Paris. The travel company recommends people visit other places, like the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Sacre-Coeur and so on. Those who tend to observe church services during Holy Week are advised to go to Saint-Eustache.
﹡Looking ahead to rebuilding
It seems rebuilding can begin, since firefighters put out the fire early Tuesday, more than 12 hours after nearly 400 firefighters had battled the flames that changed the city’s skyline. Two policemen and one firefighter were not badly injured, according to the Paris Fire Service.
A large campaign to raise money already is underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations came to $1 billion.

27、 For centuries,dolphins have got our admiration,and it is easy to see why.They are beautiful,cute and smart sea animals.Dolphins are not fish,but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups,and speak to each other in their own language.In this way,they are like other animals,such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.It is said that dolphins are the world’s second smartest creatures after humans and have many brain features(特征)related to intelligence.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals,dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth,called the jaw.
Strangely,dolphins seem to like man,and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand,they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.
Today,somepeople continue to kill dolphins,but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

29、It is said that in the United States much has been told about that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even though he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours: they tried to look as rich and successful as their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a number of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because Jones is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read “right” books, go to “right” universities and eat in “right” restaurants.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
【1】Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?
A.Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.
B.Because they want others to know or think they are rich.
C.Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.
D.Because they want to be as rich as their neighbours.
【2】On the whole, the passage is about ________.
A.Americans’ thought of being well-known for richness
B.the relationship among American people
C.Americans competing with each other
D.more chances of becoming rich in the US
【3】What does the author mean when he says “right” books?
A.Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.
B.Books by famous and successful writers.
C.Very expensive books.
D.Books that other people around are reading.
【4】What does the author mean by “Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead”?
A.It seems that one can never keep up with all people around.
B.It seems that Mr. Jones is a very rich man.
C.It seems that one has to work hard to get rich.
D.It seems that Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.
【5】What is the author’s opinion?
