Yassin’s Falafel House in Knoxville. Tennessee

His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble.

B

I wanted to lose some weight, and I also hoped to explore the countryside. So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.

Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.

From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite (胃口) for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.

My first walk led me down the side of a cliff (悬崖) to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.

In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon. Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!

In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows (草地). Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.

My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.

24. Why did the author join the group?

A. To meet some new walkers.

B. To swim in the sea with some friends.

C. To learn how to lose some weight from others.

D. To lose some weight and enjoy the countryside.

25. Which of the following did the author do during her stay around Aix-en-provence?

A. She swam in the sea every day.

B. She exercised in the gym with others.

C. She climbed mountains and went down cliffs.

D. She worked as a guide to show foreigners around.

26. What did the kids most probably think of walking up Mont St Victoire?

A. Difficult but fun.

B. Boring and tiring.

C. Hard but meaningful.

D. Relaxing and interesting.

27. What would be the best title for the text?

A. A Special Hiking Group in Provence

B. The Joy of Hiking in Provence

C. Some Attractions in Provence.

D. A Trip to Provence with Kids
