Less than one year after France imposed(強加于)a nationwide ban on smoking in most public places, it will, from Jan. 1, 2008, extend the ban to bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs - and the most cherished of all: caf?s.
Ireland and Italy show that countries with longstanding smoking traditions may introduce bans fairly smoothly, as they did in 2004 and 2005. In Germany, where regulations vary locally, Berlin will join France on Jan 1. But fierce critics of the new law in France say it all but destroys the caf?'s basic function: to serve as the socioeconomic glue of society.
C?cile Perez, owner of La Fronde, a typical Parisian neighborhood caf? said: "In the morning, street cleaners in bright green uniforms sip coffee next to well-dressed businessmen; at lunch hour, working-class types rub shoulders with those of the latest fashion at the bar, while couples of all ages rub noses over salads; during the after-work rush, there is a steady soundtrack of clinking glasses combined with conversation; the constant, no matter what time of day, is the smoke that drifts through the air in curls and clouds, seemingly unnoticed."
"Our motto in France is: liberty, equality, fraternity," Olivier Seconda, a regular at the caf?, said.
"The caf? is the place that represents that. You're free to smoke, everyone pays the same price for a beer and different kinds of people talk with one another. This new law goes against that."
Seconda expects the ban to be felt even more strongly in small villages far from Paris, where the caf? is often the only means of social activity. "People already miss the space that allows people of all walks of life to share something-even if it is sometimes no more than a few words and the smoke floating between them."
69. In Germany, ______.
A. caf? smoking will be forbidden from Jan,1, 2008
B. the tradition of caf? smoking is and will be well-kept
C. local customs are well respected in terms of smoking
D. there are different regulation on smoking
70. C?cile Perez mentions the curls and clouds of smoke drifting through the air to ______
A. describe a friendly atmosphere B. show the beauty of his own caf?
C. support the ban on smoking D. remind us of something unnoticed
71. Olivier Seconda implies that ______.
A. the caf? provides people with enough liberty, equality, and fraternity
B. people, regardless of their social class, enjoy equal rights in a caf?
C. the new ban on caf? smoking should be put in effect only in villages
D. people would not find fun in a caf? without smoking a cigarette
72. The passage is written to _______.
A. show the writer's personal opinion against a new law
B. provide information for law-makers to pass a new law
C. tell why some people are unhappy about smoking ban in caf?s
D. compare attitudes to a law, held by people from different countries

It is impossible to imagine Paris without its cafés. The city has some 12,000 cafés varying in size, grandeur, and 41 . The cafés are like an extension of the French living room, a place to start and end the day, to __42_ and debate.
When did the cafés in France start? The oldest café in Paris is Le Procope. It was opened in 1686 by Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, the man who turned France into a coffee-drinking society. Le Procope attracted Paris’s political and 43 elite, and in this way played an important part among the upper class. By the end of the 18th century, all of Paris was intoxicated with (沉醉在)coffee and the city 44 some 700 cafés. These were like all-male clubs, with many functioning as centers of 45 life and discussion. By the 1840s the number of cafés had grown to 3,000. The men who gathered in these cafés and 46 the theme of the times included journalists, playwrights and writers. Around the turn of the 20th century, the sidewalk cafés became the meeting halls for artists and literary 47 .
Nowadays in Paris cafés still play the role of picture windows for observing 48 life. The artists gathered at the café may not be as great as those of the past, but faces worth watching are just the same. Linger a bit and you will see that the Parisian stereotypes are still_49 and well. You’ll see the old men in navy berets; ultra-thin, bronzed women with hair dyed bright orange; and schoolchildren sharing an afternoon chocolate with their mothers. The café in Paris has always been a place for seeing and being seen.

The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.

Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents.Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them.
