France is the largest country in Western Europe. It has a population of over 66 million. The country is home to many famous places of interest, like the River Seine as well as the Eiffel Tower.
Many visitors also come for the country’s art. Sculptor（雕刻家）Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here. If you visit France today, it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway.
No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre, one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Inside, there are 35,000 works of art, such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da
Vinci and the statue（雕塑）David by Michelangelo. It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces.
Besides, French food is world famous. Bread is very important in France. The best known French bread is called a baguette（法棍面包）. They are long, delicious and taste salty. Snails （蜗牛）are also a must-have here. French people eat 40,000 tons of snails every year!

sorry about the crowded subway in Paris.

Do students need to look over all the content（内容）of the newspaper?
The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines（标题）to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it’s easy to find out what you’re interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. 67. There is no need to go through all the articles. Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context（上下文）, in which these words may appear repeatedly. 68. Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don’t look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. 69.如果你的猜测错了，不要放弃。 Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.
Reading English newspapers makes us knowledgeable. 70. It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language.
