11.If you've been to Europe a few times already,chances are that you've hit all the big destinations:London,Paris,Rome,Berlin.On your next trip you can either visit those same cities a second time,or instead you can take a chance and walk the streets of some cities that are a little bit smaller,a little bit less famous,but still full of European grace and charm.Here are four European cities to visit that you probably haven't been to yet.Besancon,France
This hidden French city has had a long reputation for being a well-kept secret.It can be at once sleepy with few tourists but abundant galleries,restaurants,and a wonderful Beaux Arts museum whose collection is second only to the Louvre.The city is wound by the River Doubs and also touts (吹捧) its own UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Citadel,home to several small museums and a zoo.
Seville,Spain
For the tourist who is already tired of Barcelona and Madrid,Seville offers a different take (意见) on Spain.Located on the Southern coast,it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule,nowhere more than in the Alcázar palace building,just one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Seville has over a dozen museums,tropical parkland,and probably the best tapas (餐前小吃) culture in all of Spain.
Ghent,Belgium
Ghent is a city that looks like it should be the setting for a fairy tale.All of the typical Belgium features abound here-waffles and beer.Every year from Saturday before July 21,Ghent hosts a ten-day festival.This music and theater festival draws almost 2million visitors,as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers,buskers (街头艺人) and musicians.
Palermo,Italy
Palermo is the capital city of Sicily,the southern island off the coast of mainland Italy.The city has an ancient history,and the various cultures that have controlled the island through the years have all left their marks on it.You can see winding street markets,antique (古玩) fairs,and open air nightclubs here.

D.Uber wanted to know as much as possible about the people who use its service,and those who don't. E.Uber is a transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco,operating in 570 cities worldwide. F.In fact,it makes people wonder what would happen to someone carrying a knife who promised never to stab a policeman with it. |
Uber has also adjusted its software so that regulatory agencies that the company regarded as hostile would,when they tried to hire a driver,be given false reports about the location of its cars.Uber management booked and then cancelled rides with a rival company which took their vehicles out of circulation. (68)A The punishment for this behavior was so small that it was not worth worrying about.
Uber promised not to use this software against law enforcement. (69)F Travis Kalanick of Uber got a personal criticism from Tim Cook,who runs Apple,but the company did not prohibit the use of the app.Too much money was invested in that.
The"sharing economy"encourages the insecure and exploited to exploit others equally insecure to the profit of a tiny group of billionaires. (70)C The outgoing CEO of Yahoo,Marissa Mayer,who is widely judged to have been a failure,is likely to get a﹩186m payout.This may not be a cause for panic.Yet there's an urgent political task to tame these companies,to ensure they are punished when they break the law,that they pay their taxes fairly and that they behave responsibly.
