原文My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway. The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice That said. “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it. Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. 39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the comer to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18! In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously - so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call. A. Not all the customers are tourists. B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent. C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers. E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do. F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. 译文我和丈夫刚刚在巴黎呆了一个星期。36所以我们做的第一件事就是租了一套橱柜大小的六楼公寓，价格非常昂贵。它太小了，我们不得不把手提箱放在走廊里。 不过，这个地方并不完全真实。与普通的巴黎公寓不同的是，水管（水管）起作用了。37我们的大楼甚至有一个女声的小电梯。完美的法语“Ouverture des portes”。这是我掌握的唯一一个法语短语，很遗憾我对它没有太多用处。 巴黎人和你我不一样。他们看起来从不懒散或邋遢。正如几年前有人在这篇论文中指出的那样，他们吃得很好，而且从来没有增重。38法国草莓尝起来不像硬纸板。相反，它们在你嘴里爆炸，就像小味道炸弹。 39我们在巴黎的第一天早上，我绕过拐角去食品市场买了一些杂货。我买了一把完全成熟的小草莓和一个小甜瓜。我和丈夫一致认为它们是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们花了18美元！ 在法国，生活质量比效率重要得多。你可以从咖啡馆的生活中看出这一点。法式咖啡馆总是很拥挤。40这些人什么时候工作？法国人非常重视他们每周35小时的工作，以至于一些工会最近与一群公司达成协议，限制独立承包商的待命时间。 A.并非所有的顾客都是游客。 B.法国的生活质量同样优秀。 C.有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床。 D.这些美味的食物主要由当地农民食用。 E.这不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因。 F.我们的目的是看看我们是否能在某种程度上像真正的巴黎人一样生活。 G.这食物太美味了，你不需要太多就能让你开心。
