If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless.Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafs to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by.On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.1、What does the underlined word ecstasy in Paragraph 4 probably mean?ACourage.BImagination.CHappiness.DReputation.2、What does the passage mainly tell us?AAn exchange students life.BCharming neighborhoods.CAn exchange program.DA traveling experience.3、Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?AEnjoying coffee in his spare time.BGreeting people in French in the street.CBuying vegetables in the market.DHanging around in Pa
