26、When you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.

While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.

As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer.

--Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;

--Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;

--Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.

France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:

--The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;

--Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;

--The post—modern housing development, Marne—la—Vallee.

History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D —Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of world War II.

As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.

【1】What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?

A．Few students choose to study in France.

B．France is the best place for students who love the arts.

D．There are no lectures and discussion classes.

【2】What can art students do on weekends?

A．Enjoy Voltaire’s music.

B．Listen to Proust’s music.

C．View Monet’s works in the Louvre.

D．Read Renoir’s literary works.

【3】Where is the text most likely taken from?

A．A study abroad website

B．An architecture advertisement.

D．A fashion magazine.

27、People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.

For example, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”

Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth!”

Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”.

Or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say “I had my heart in my mouth”.

Some people live “from hand to mouth”. They are just opposite to those “born with a silver spoon in their mouths”.

OK, I have been running my mouth long enough and that's all for today’s Words and Their Stories in VOA Special English. I'm Faith Lapidus. Do join us again next week.

28、Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.

Because she couldn’t give them hugs one by one, Levine, then a sixth-grader, decided she would use her talents (才能) to do the next best thing. She began to knit (编织) hats, scarves, and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy, a programme that provides newborn baby items for families in need, and to Knitting Pals by the Bay, a local organisation that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.

“I love to knit, and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them. It would be like a hug for them,” Levine explained.

Levine started the project about a year ago. “I think it’s just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy,” said Levine, now 13.

Once she got started, Levine realised that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities, asking for knitted donations (捐赠物) to the project, she named “Hannah’s Warm Hugs”. She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to pour in.

“It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door,” said Levine’s mother, Laura Levine. “We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.”

The knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organisations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.

“It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought,” her mum said. “It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.”

【1】Hannah Levine knitted hats, scarves and blankets ________.

A．to earn some pocket money

B．to raise money for cancer patients

C．for children and families in difficulty

D．for the homeless in her neighbourhood

【2】What can the underlined part “pour in” in Paragraph 5 best be replaced by?

A．Take off.

B．Go out.

C．Flood in.

D．Break in.

【3】What would be Laura Levine’s attitude towards Hannah Levine’s project?

A．Optimistic but worried.

B．Proud and supportive.

C．Worried but doubtful.

D．Unsatisfied and uncaring.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Be Ready to Lend a Helping Hand

B．Start a Project to Show Your Support

C．A 13-year-old Girl Becomes the Best Knitter

D．A Teen Turns Knitting Hobby into Heartwarming Project

29、Online courses have become popular in many countries. There are different kinds of online courses, but most show a video of a teacher and students in a classroom. Students watch the video online and take part in online activities. Some courses are free and open to anyone. 【1】 Of course, watching videos on a screen is not the same as taking part in a real class.

【2】 In Singapore, eight schools have been chosen to try new ways of using technology in the classroom. The schools have tablets(平板电脑)and touchscreens instead of books and blackboards in the classrooms. 【3】 Through them, students can communicate with each other and work on projects together.

In South Korea, some students have been taught English by teachers in the Philippines and other countries since 2011. The teachers are in their home countries and are connected to the Korean classrooms via the Internet. Instead of looking at a screen, the students interact with a robot in the classroom. The robot is controlled by the teacher. 【4】

Thanks to technology, more and more ways of teaching and learning are being developed.

【5】 But one thing is for sure – there has never been a more interesting time to be a student.

A．E-learning can be successful.

B．There are also social media platforms(平台).

C．Other kinds of e-learning are being tested around the world.

D．They give students anywhere the chance to study at any time.

E．Nobody knows what the classroom of the future will look like.

F．And it can move around the classroom and talk with the students.

G．The courses that are taught via the Internet are called online courses.

30、My journal pages are filled with interesting short travel stories. One of my most __________ funny stories happened while I was backpacking South America — specifically during a 4-day tour from Atacama in Chile to Uyuni, Bolivia.

The trip took us __________ the desert for three days to see spectacular __________ like hot pink lagoons (洪泄湖) where wild creatures search for food, a(n) __________ train graveyard, the world-famous Uyuni Salt Flatsand, the __________ of the whole tour.

During the trip, we shared a car with four or five other people. At one point, I was sitting in the front seat, __________ to come across the most awesome landscape. The car was getting really hot under a(n) __________ sun. Our driver didn’t speak English, but I spoke __________ Spanish — or at least I thought I did.

“Estoy caliente!” I said, looking right at the driver. To my confusion, instead of __________ a window, he looked puzzled, or maybe __________.

I decided it was probably my New York accent __________ him. “Estoy caliente!” I said again, this time in __________ I thought was a more local-sounding __________. He looked even more horrified-slashed-confused.

Suddenly, the one native Spanish speaker in the car spoke up from the back: “Umm, I’m __________ you’re not meaning to tell the driver you’re too excited, right?”

Apparently, the way I was saying “I’m hot” __________ translated to, well, another meaning of the phrase. As I turned bright red, I decided I didn’t really need the window open and would just sit __________ and try to disappear by __________ in the car seat.
