France today is no superpower, but French influence in some spheres significant. Nothing

has cemented French influence in the world like the decision made by the victorious World War II powers in 1945 to include France as one of the five permanent, veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Until the end of the Cold War, France rarely found itself in disagreement with Britain or the U.S. on major issues. But the U.N. veto today takes on larger significance as France struggles to decide whether it wants to lead the European Union in defiance of American power or in partnership with it.

As America&39;s great media outlets have begun preparing for coverage of the D-Day celebrations, the question of a "grand gesture" by the French toward the American war in Iraq has been raised. Administration officials hint that, perhaps, just perhaps, the French President will use the occasion of France&39;s rescue as an opportunity to square the accounts — to issue a blanket endorsement of America&39;s plan for Iraq&39;s future and throw its support behind the transfer of power looming at the end of the month. France certainly wants the United States to be successful in Iraq at this point. But France seems unlikely to see D-Day as an opportunity to make good on a 60-year-old debt. Beyond nice speeches and some truly fine cuisine, don&39;t expect France to liberate America from Iraq.

llowing European criticisms of the Iraq war, the French became "surrender monkeys". The Germans were opportunistic ingrates. The British and the Poles were America's lone allies. Unsurprisingly, many of those listening to Bush's inaugural pledge last week to stand with those defying tyranny saw the glimmerings of an argument for invading Iran. Washington has thus far shown more of an appetite for spreading ideals with the barrel of a gun than for namby-pamby hearts-and-minds campaigns.

A．Americans have always believed that military might is correct.

Riches and Romance From France's Wine Harvest

September is harvest time. And with bunches of grapes swinging (摇摆) in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.

The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. It's a fun time with parties, music, and dancing, big meals and, of course, lots of wine.

French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago. The world's oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine. Today France produces one-fifth of the world's wine, and some of the most famous varieties.

The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley.

Champagne, a drink used in celebrations, is named after the place where sparkling (有汽泡的) wine was first produced in 1700.

Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes. It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.

Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice. Nowadays, this practice is usually carried out by machines.

Each wine producing region has its own character, based on its type of grapes and soil.

The taste of wine changes with time. Until 1850, all French champagne was sweet.

Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.

The drink has always been linked with riches, romance and nobleness. Yet the

French think of it in more ordinary terms.

They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems.

"All its links are with times when people are at their best; with relaxation, happiness, long slow meals and the free flow of ideas," wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.

听力原文： In the late eighteenth century, battles raged in almost every comer of Europe, as well as in the Middle East, South Africa, the West Indies, and Latin America. In reality, however, there was only one major war during this time, the war between Britain and France. All other battles were ancillary to this larger conflict, and were often at least partially related to its antagonist' goals and strategies. France sought total domination of Europe. This goal was obstructed by British independence and Britain's efforts throughout the continent to thwart Napoleon; through treaties. Britain built coalitions (not dissimilar in concept to today's NATO) guaranteeing British participation in all major European conflicts. These two antagonists were poorly matched, insofar as they had very unequal strengths; France was predominant on land, Britain at sea. The French knew that, short of defeating the British navy, their only hope of victory was to close all the ports of Europe to British ships. Accordingly, France set out to overcome Britain by extending its military domination from Moscow to Lisbon, from Jutland to Caldaria. All of this entailed tremendous risk, because France did not have the military resources to control this much territory and still protect itself and maintain order at home.

French strategists calculated that a navy of 150 ships would provide the force necessary to defeat the British navy. Such a force would give France a three-to-two advantage over Britain. This advantage was deemed necessary because of Britain's superior sea skills and technology, and also because Britain would be fighting a defensive war, allowing it to win with fewer forces. Napoleon never lost substantial impediment to his control of Europe. As his force neared that goal, Napoleon grew increasingly impatient and began planning an immediate attack.

Which of the following was the only major war during the late eighteenth century？

A．The war in the Middle East.

B．The war in South Africa.

C．The war in Latin America.

D．The war between Britain and France.

Leaders of 16 nations paid a poignant tribute to surviving veterans and those who died dur

ing the D-Day landings 60 years ago that led to the eventual surrender of Nazi Germany. The leaders of France and the United States used the occasion to hail the importance of their countries' ties, despite deep differences over the Iraq wax.

The theme of the day, as outlined by the commemoration host, French President Jacques Chirac, was that modern leaders have the duty to honor what the troops who took part in D-Day died for, by standing together in the cause of freedom and democracy. Mr. Chirac told an international ceremony in the town of Arromanches, midway along the 100 kilometer stretch of coast where the landings took place, that the men who fought their way onto the beaches of Normandy set an example for future generations. And he reiterated that France is grateful for America's coming to its aid in two world wars. "France will never forget what it owes America. "he says," And like all the countries of Europe, France is keenly aware that the Atlantic alliance, forged in adversity, remains, in the face of new threats, a fundamental element of Europe's collective security."

At an earlier ceremony, President Bush also stressed the importance of bonds that were forged by a common struggle against tyranny. "Our great alliance of freedom is strong, and it is still needed today," said Mr. Bush. But the emphasis at the ceremonies was on honoring the sacrifice of the men who stormed the beaches 60 years ago, or were parachuted or flown in to support them.

One-hundred-forty-two veterans from the 14 countries that took part in the landings marched past the reviewing stand to thunderous applause. Some used canes. A few were in wheelchairs, but most marched smartly, medals pinned on their chest. President Chirac later gave 14 of them, one from each country, a prized French decoration to add to their collection.

This was the first time a German chancellor was invited to a D-Day 'ceremony, and Mr. Chirac says the presence of Gerhard Schroeder means once-bitter enemies have put their past behind them.

He says Franco-German reconciliation shows the world that hatred has no future and that a path to peace is always possible. A public opinion poll, taken in Normandy, shows that the people of the region overwhelmingly support Mr. Schroeder's presence at the D-Day commemorations. And although some Allied war veterans continue to insist that Germany should be kept at arm's length, most appear to agree that the world has moved on and, while the bloodshed of World War II should not be forgotten, it is time for reconciliation.

What does D-day refer to ？

A．The special day in World War Ⅱ.

B．The Allied forces' landing in Normandy.

C．The day when Nazi surrendered.

D．The unnamed day for military offense.
