Before coming to France，I always thought that French people wear formal clothes．But， when I arrived in Paris，I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.
On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel，Dior，Pierre Cardin．In daily life，however，most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models．On the opposite，I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles．But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France．In other French cities，what people wear are usually casual dresses，such as T-shirts and jeans.
French people act as the fashion leaders，but they accept other clothes styles as well．Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea．Here are many immigrants（移民） from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries．The Arabian and African cultures are influential（有影响的）in this city．Therefore，you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to remove widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200 milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X — or Nibiru — heads toward or collides with the Earth.
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’s existence, but the US space agency denounced (公然抨击) such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.
There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto (冥王星) will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide (同时发生) with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward. And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible” (微不足道的)， NASA said.
“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.
“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.
56．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.
A. A new book B. The Internet and a new Hollywood movie
C. NASA D. An Indian calendar
57．The film 2012 is________.
A. about the end of the world B. based on the scientific prediction
C. well accepted in the science field D. about a romantic love story
58．We can infer that________.
A. people didn’t take the rumor seriously
B. Planet X — or Nibiru does exist
C. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten years
D. the rumor caused a panic among some people
59．NASA thinks that Eris________.
A. might cause a threat to the Earth B. doesn’t cause any threat to the Earth
C. is too far away to be visible D. is similar to our planet, where life might exist
60. Which of the following is the best title?
A. New Hollywood movie 2012 B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the world
C. End of the ancient Mayan calendar D. How rumors came into being
