A. Even    B. Even though    C. As though   D. Now that

All my life I had loved airports．To me，they were fl kind of magic gateway to the world，but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place．

“Well，here we are，the airport，"my sister said with fl sigh．As 1 watched her unload my luggage，I could see the sadness in her eyes．One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new lire abroad，leaving my beloved sister behind．

I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears，she was trying to keep a brave face．“You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight，”she said．

“I am just going to walk away and not look back，” I said． As I held her one last time she whispered，“Don’t worry about me，I’ll be fine．"“I’ll miss you，” I replied with tears in my eyes．As I promised，I did not look back。but 1 was sobbing．To me it was the end of the world．

While boarding the plane 1 was still crying．I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the empty seat next to mine．As I settled into my chair， a feeling of sadness overwhelmed（淹没） me．I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me．

The plane shook heavily and the bag fell，with some stuff spreading on the floor．When I bent over to gather the things up，I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings．It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary．

Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting． “Hi，Sis，What a day it has been today．First you let me know that you are moving abroad and then my boss…”My sister had been keeping a diary for the past month and she was now passing it on to me．I was to write in it for the next couple of months and then send it back to her．Even though a large ocean separated us，at some point it felt like she was actually there．

　　LONDON A morning's train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.

　　Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

　　In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival (竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.

　　Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.

　　As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.

　　Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. “For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

　　Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I'll stay in London,” she said.

　　There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.

　　In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

　　“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

　　Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

　　“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.

　　“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

　　But certainly not cheaper.

　　In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

　　Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

　　Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.

　　“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”
