For more than 30 years，Mauro Morandi has been the only resident of a beautiful island the Mediterranean sea.He hoped to make it his life-long home，but that is now under threat.
   Morandi now faces eviction（驅逐）from the Isle of Budelli，off the coast of Sardinia，if he doesn't voluntarily leave.Local authorities are speeding up plans to turn his hut into an environmental observatory.
Morandi arrived on the island by accident while attempting to sail from Italy to Polynesia 31 years ago.He fell in love with the pure water，coral sands and beautiful sunsets，and decided to stay.He took over from the previous caretaker shortly afterward and，at the age of 81，he's still there and ready to fight for his home，whatever it takes.
   "I wouldn't know where else to go live—this is my home.All I ask is，if I must be sent away during the reconstruction work，that I can come back after and keep doing what I do each day：guard the pink coral beach，keep tourists at bay，and protect nature.I fear that if I'm gone，the pink coral beach will survive only on postcards from the past，"Morandi says.An online petition（請愿） has been launched to this end，which in just a few days has gathered more than 2，600 supporters across the world.
   The island has changed ownership several times over the last few years.Since 20 Budelli has been owned by La Maddalena's National Park，making Morandi's role a thing of the past.The authorities say they are simply upholding the law."Our priority is to intervene against all illegal construction inside the park，including Morandi's hut.We need to set an example：protect our environment by first restoring this illegal structure，and then move on with a new project which will likely be a scientific center for the spreading of environmental awareness，"La Maddalena's National Park president Fabbrizio Fonnesu says.

1．Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young，she took lessons in music and drawing，and read great books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.
   As a child，she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure.She enjoyed helping them.

3．I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille，France's second largest city and its main trade seaport.Some small shops sell vegetables，meat，and，it seems，all the spices of the Middle East.In addition to French，languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French.It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
   Close to the downtown street，I discover an Algerian restaurant，whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley，not the usual wheat，using a recipe that hasn't changed since the 1920s.Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture.The dish was added to the UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
   To be honest，before I travelled here，couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille.It was bouillabaisse，the rich soup with olive oil，garlic and saffron.I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe.This was clearly a romantic fantasy.For one thing，there are no small cafcs at historic city.For another，the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse，but when I see the price at one place I am shocked：69 euros!No bowl of soup should cost that much.
   I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant，Ourea.For 28 euros，Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
   More and more young，talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live.There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year.Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities，the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
   Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille.I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together，side，by，side，but not mixed.They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.

（1）Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph？

A．Remote.
B．Commercial.
C．Industrial.
D．Inland.
（2）What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant？

A．The unreasonable charge.
B．The unbearable flavor.
C．The unsatisfying service.
D．The noisy atmosphere.
（3）Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities？

A．To make a fortune.
B．To experience a dish.
C．To learn a language.
D．To live a leisurely life.
（4）In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text？

A．Fashion.
B．Food.
C．Trade
D．Travel.
