Summer Cultural Exploration in France

Amboise
Amboise is a charming small town on the Loire River in central France. The royal Amboise castle was the preferred residence of Charles VIII, who built it in the 15th century. With a rich history and beautiful natural scenes, Amboise is the ideal environment for students to study French.
Learn
French courses take place every morning, Monday through Friday, for four hours per day in a historic 19th-century building in the center of Amboise. Students will be given an exam upon arrival to make sure that they attend a language class of the appropriate level. An interactive teaching approach is stressed.
Experience
There is a good balance between planned activities and free time throughout the four-week program. Two to three days per week, organized activities are offered such as: lecture on topics in French history, literature, art and cinema, showing of French films, and a visit to Leonardo da Vinci’s home at the Clos Luce.
Travel

Planning your holiday? Whether you’re going to Yunnan or UK, it’s important to make sure you’re well-prepared. Here’s a handy checklist to help you.
Location
The first thing you have to decide is where you want to go. Of course a lot will depend on your time and budget. Do you want to relax on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? All these things are available in China, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in Asia, or even farther.
Packing
There can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you don’t want to forget something important. It can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. In certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money. It can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies. If you are going to be moving around a lot, buy a good backpack. Finally, remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather.
Accommodation
There are several things to consider when picking where you want to stay. Location is often the most important. When staying in hotels, it is often a good idea to book your first night in a new city. After all, you will not be familiar with the surroundings and will want somewhere to leave your luggage. However, don’t spend more than a couple of days at the same hotel. When you get to a new place, you might soon discover there’s somewhere better to stay.
Don’t forget
The key to a good holiday is detail. When you’re traveling, especially in a foreign country, don’t forget to change some money before you leave. If you’re traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease. And it’s always worth taking out travel insurance, just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip. Don’t forget to check the exchange rates. The strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently. It can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest Chinese embassy, in case you need help while abroad.
小題1:You have to take all the following into consideration EXCEPT _______ when deciding where to spend your holiday.
A．cultureB．purposeC．moneyD．time
小題2:Pants with zipped pockets are recommended mainly because _______.
A．it’s a good measure in case of emergencies
B．you’ll be expected to buy a lot of souvenirs
C．you’ll carry many small things with you
D．it will help you guard against local theft
小題3:As for accommodation, the writer’s tip is _______.
A．to stay away from the downtown areas to get cheap places
B．to book one or two nights in the same hotel in case you don’t like it
C．to choose your location after you arrive at your destination
D．better not to leave your luggage in unfamiliar hotels
小題4:It can be inferred from the last part that we should _______.
A．choose the most suitable kind of travel insurance
B．use RMB in all foreign countries since the yuan is strong
C．check the exchange rates so as to decide what currency (貨幣) to buy
D．get in touch with Chinese embassy if we need help when abroad
小題5:What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To attract the tourists to travel abroad.
B．To tell some travel information to tourists.
C．To help the tourists make good preparations for their holidays.
D．To remind tourists of the safety during their journey.
