I have never understood why so many people visit Rome from late spring to early autumn, when traffic, heat and stressed shopkeepers and waiters lead to the lower tone of the city. Things improve a little in March, April, October and November. 
But But connoisseurs(connoisseurs(鉴赏家) ) know know know that that that winter winter winter is is is the the the best best best time time time to to to go go go there. there. there. In In In winter, winter, winter, the the 
low-flying sun turns Rome into a wonderful stage set. There are days in winter when the sky is kind of blue. And there are also days when you find that you have beautiful sights all to yourself. 
Perhaps the only period you might want to avoid is the two weeks before Christmas. Italians often leave their shopping late, and traffic in the city is often heavy. But this can also be a good time to come if you are more interested in culture than in fashion shops; if you stay somewhere central, you can beat the traffic by walking everywhere. 
Christmas in Rome is a low-key(低调的) family event. One of the nice things is the way the city keeps going. Although museums and shops are closed, many bars and restaurants stay open, and public transport continues to run. 
If you are lucky with the weather, it’s in January and February th at Rome is at its best. Late 
February can be especially attractive. One sometimes forgets what a difference that extra hour of daylight daylight makes makes makes compared compared compared with with with mid-December. mid-December. And And there there there are are are always always always a a a few few few days days days of of of proper proper

66. In which of the following periods would the writer most probably advise us to visit Rome? 
A. Late spring. 
B. Mid-summer. 
C. Early autumn. 
D. Mid-winter. 67. We know that during the two weeks before Christmas, ________________. 
A. many foreign people go to Rome for shopping 
B. travelers in Italy can enjoy Italian culture 
C. people can have a good time in fashion shops in Rome 
D. travelers usually have to go to visit places on foot in Italy 
68. When traveling in Rome, the writer seems to believe it is a good idea to _____________. A. visit museums and shops during Christmas 
B. avoid staying in a hotel in the center of Rome 
C. avoid staying in the sun for too long in January 
D. go on a picnic in V
illa Borghese or Pompeii in Late February 69. What is this passage mainly about? 
A. Whether Rome is worth a visit. 
B. Why so many people go to visit Rome.

to cook, I used recipes （菜谱）and turned out some tasty dishes ．But soon I grew bored. Why 
follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. 
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意识地）
hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. 
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. 
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. them. Creative Creative Creative people people people have have have an an an endless endless endless resource resource resource of of of ideas ideas ．The The problem problem problem a a a creator creator creator faces faces faces is is is not not

B. lose the balance of life 
C. begin to learn something new 
D. get tired of routine practice

B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality 
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
