25、   Northern California’s wine country attracts millions of tourists in the harvest season each year. But harvest season now comes at the same time as another yearly event: wildfires.

In three of the past four years, wildfires have destroyed parts of the world-famous area. Last month, firefighters were still fighting against a fire in Napa Valley because of hot, dry, windy weather.

Still, most of the countryside, winemaking factories and tasting rooms that bring wine lovers to Northern California have escaped harm. But the frightening mental pictures of the area in flames stop people from making long-term plans to vacation here. Visitors don’t want to take a risk and are rethinking their plans to visit the area. So locals who depend on the tourist economy (经济) have been rethinking their marketing plans.

Knowing the fall season has become an undependable time to visit, tourism officials have launched campaigns (活动) to get visitors from far away to plan for winter or spring. During those seasons, wild flowers are everywhere and the area is less busy. Online, an organization is marketing the Cabernet wine season, which runs from November to April. And for fall, Sonoma County Tourism wants to attract visitors nearby because they can make last-minute plans.

“Napa remains beautiful, the wineries (酒庄) are open again and people are here”, said the manager of a local hotel. “The best way people can support us is to come visit, drink the wine and have a lovely time. Just be sure to call ahead.”

26、A huge fire swept through Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) in central Paris on Monday afternoon, 15 April, 2019.

As it burned into the evening, firefighters fought all night to prevent one of the main bell towers from collapsing (倒塌) and tried to save priceless artwork. The US President suggested using water-dropping aircraft. However, dropping much water from aircraft on the 12th century structure could cause the whole building to fall.

Thousands of people gathered in the streets around the cathedral, watching the fire in silence. Some could be seen crying, while others sang hymns or said prayers (祷告).

By early Tuesday morning, officials said the fire was under control and the church’s main structure had been saved. Also, several invaluable artifacts (珍贵的文物) had been saved from the burning cathedral. However, the fire caused cathedral’s spire of the tower to collapse completely.

Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, Notre Dame is the most famous of the Gothic (哥特式的) cathedrals of the Middle Ages as well as one of the most valuable structures in the world. It is a symbol of French and European culture, well-known to the world after the book Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo was published.

And it wasn’t until nineteenth century before the Cathedral was fully restored (修复) thanks in part to the writer Victor Hugo.

The exact cause of the fire remains unknown, but people wondered whether it had something to do with the restorations. French President Emmanuel Macron rushed to the scene and straight into meetings at the Paris police headquarters nearby. In a speech later Monday night, he promised to rebuild the church and said he would seek international help to do so.

Open your mind

Being curious about the world around you can boost your confidence.

As a new school year begins, opening your mind to new people and experiences will help you make friends and d【1】 new interests. Don’t worry about it—have a go!

Having an open mind and being curious means trying to understand other people’s t【2】 and ideas, even if you don’t always agree with them. It also means trying new experiences and exploring different ways of doing things. You can have an open mind about a【3】. The new school term means there are plenty of opportunities to open your mind, find a new activity to try, make new friends and in the process, learn more about yourself.

There are many b【4】 to being open minded. Kendra Cherry is an author and expert in feelings, and she says it helps you learn new things about the world and the people around you. This makes you feel more confident and positive about facing challenges. Having an interest in other people gives you more empathy, which means you understand and share their feelings, says Cherry. Being open to f【5】 ideas can also create exciting new ones of your own.

Start by asking questions, says Cherry. So if you’re unsure about joining a new club, ask yourself what’s stopping you. Imagine how it feels to learn a new s【6】 , meet new people and make friends. Don’t jump to a sudden decision but give yourself time to think about it first. If someone says something you disagree with, then instead of deciding they are w【7】 or arguing back, take a moment to consider why they have that opinion.

Finally, open your mind to new ideas. Even if you think you’re an expert on a subject there is always more you can learn,
