题目内容

Paris is an ancient city, the center of France and probably the most cultured city in Europe.  For the modern traveler it’s very easy to reach the famous city on the river Seine.  You can fly there in less time than it takes to travel by train from Beijing to Shanghai.  Once you reach Paris you are surprised by a city that is the perfect combination of modern life and history.

The best time to arrive is the spring.  Winter is cold and wet, the summer humid and autumn windy.  In the spring the flowers are blossoming, the sun shines and the birds sing.  The people of Paris are most pleased with spring in their city.  They play in the parks, visit the beautiful monuments and enjoy “joie de vivre”（生活的乐趣）.

If you arrive in Paris in the springtime, you will enjoy the life of lazy walks down the boulevards too, sitting in the cafes and visiting the most famous museums in the world.  There are many places for you to visit, Notre Dame de Paris, the nearby palace of Versaille, the arch of Triumph and of course the Eiffel Tower.

You’ll notice that in Paris the people in the cafes all look out at the people on the street.  They like to see and be seen.  Some monuments are not French, but from Egypt, or Greece, or maybe Chinese!  There are many, many dogs, especially the famous French  poodie  with his well-tailored looks.  This is the city where the French impressionists painted their works, where arts, culture and literature are the main passions of life.  Apart of course, from the food!  All Frenchmen like to eat and drink wine they are never happier than when they are having a picnic on the banks of the river Seine in the springtime.

　　As Jobs grew lack 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 frees them from immigration and customs.

　　Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. 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 banker.

　　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.

　　In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

　　“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ”said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

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

　　“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and is still a wonderful place.”Collins said.

　　“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

　　But certainly not cheaper.

　　In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice than 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 to they don't have to choose.

　　“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,”she said.“In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”

Everyone is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. "I love it very much, it is amazing. It feels just like a carnival (狂欢节)，" said Celeste Beverage regular skater.
Roller-skating is really taking off across Europe and America. It is a very good way to keep fit and can be practised anywhere there is a smooth surface.
