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 weeks 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 corner 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.

You can tell this by cafés 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.

My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.

My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, ____41____little bunny ( 兔子 ) cakes for all its ____42____throughout Cleveland. It happened that the plant downtown needed eight kids for ____43____help during our spring break, for which I had no ____44____beyond listening to my favorite records. I'd ____45____minimum wage. I'd see how a factory ____46____. My parents thought all of this was a grand idea and called Betsy's dad with their ____47____.

Our ____48____in the factory were simple: Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing (糖霜) ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. ____49____bunny from the belt. This was _____50_____than it sounds. _____51_____a bit and the cakes pile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night, it was all a little more high-pressure than I'd _____52_____.

Dad ____53____. The son of a grocer, he'd spent the summers of his childhood _____54_____food in Benardsville, New Jersey. This was the sort of work that made you _____55_____the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work, he told me.
