In New Brighton，Minnesota，the Bartz brothers（Connor，Austin，and Trevor）have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard for the past five years.But they're not ordinary snowmen - they're huge and sea-themed!
   The tradition began in 2012，after a family fishing trip in Florida，where Connor，then 17，caught a puffer fish（河豚魚）.It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow.So they got to work，collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood.After eight hours of shoveling（用鏟子鏟）and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete.And it was a big hit!Before long，the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.
   "Each winter，we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build，" Trevor said.Since 2012，they've made a shark，a turtle，an octopus（章魚）and so on.Their favorite is the octopus，which they built in 2016.It is their biggest sculpture yet，taking nearly 500 hours and 150 tons of snow to make!
   The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors. "We liked that it was kid-friendly，with tentacles（觸須）you could slide under， " Connor said.Named by Facebook fans，Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations.
   To make the most of their project，the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. "Given that our work is made from snow，it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need，" Austin said.They teamed up with One Day's Wages，an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti.By the end of winter，the brothers had raised ＄17，263!
   Their advice for anyone with big dreams，"If you want to be successful，work hard and have a good attitude， " Austin said. "Success might not come immediately，but take joy in what you are doing now.When we were younger，we made many snow creations that did not make the news，but we still had a pleasurable experience! "

3．I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille，F(xiàn)rance'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.
