If you’re looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beauty and fantastic food.

Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.

Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.

However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.

Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.

But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.

Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?

1.The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.

A.languages and food B.architecture and food

C.festivals and architecture D.costumes and festivals

2.Why are Sarah Schmalbruch’s words quoted?

A.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.

B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.

C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.

D.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.

3.What can you find in Switzerland?

A.The safest skiing location. B.The most pictured mountain.

C.The largest art gallery. D.The oldest teddy bear museum.

4.Where can we most probably read this text?

A.In a geography textbook. B.In a science report.

C.In a travel magazine. D.In a personal diary.

How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.

A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation（参与）. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility（责任） for housework.

Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.

Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.

1.The passage is mainly about how to _____.

A. get men to take on some housework

B. get men to serve their families

C. praise men’ housework

D. make men do all the housework

2.According to the passage, a man_____.

A. is willing to do housework

B. likes to be told to do housework

C. is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood

D. likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it

3.In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_____.

A. order them to do their share

B. ask them to do some housework politely

C. blame men’s laziness

D. monitor men’s work

4.According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t _____.

A. work without any payment

B. do unimportant household tasks

C. do housework without women’s praise

D. please their wives

5.According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?

A. Cleaning the table.　　 B. Doing some sewing.

C. Painting the fence.　　 D. Asking his wife to work on the yard.
