  根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。

  If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? __61__ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

  __62__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.

  Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. __63__ Now this seed(果实) is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate(联系) a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity. __64__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __65_ Go and get a book!

A.   The interesting part of the book is stored(存储) in your mind as a seed.

B.    Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C.    Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

D.   Now what are you waiting for?

E.    Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

F.    Reading can help you make more friends, too.

G.   Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

London--A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub.

Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.

As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.

Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

"For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.

Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.  "I am French, but I'll stay in London,'' she said.

There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said.

"Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.

Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

"I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."

But certainly not cheaper.

In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.

"I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , "she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares."
