　　Riches and Romance From Frances Wine Harvest 　　The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. Its a fun time with parties, music, dancing, big meals and, of course, lots of wine. 　　The top wine producing areas are Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Champagne, a drink used in celebrations, is named after the place where sparkling wine was first produced in 1700. 　　Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice. Nowadays, this practice is usually carried out by machines. 　　The taste of wine changes with time. Until 1850, all French champagne was sweet. Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter. 　　They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems. 　　1 All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September. 　　2 In the yearly wine festival, people always enjoy themselves. 　　3 Wine making in France has a history of over 2,500 years. 　　4 Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places. 　　5 Different regions in France produce different types of wine. 　　6 French wine will taste sour in future. 　　7 The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax. 　　参考答案：B A A C A C A 　　1. 从第一段的最后一句话the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.中，可以得出，庆祝这个节日的是southern France，不是all French people，所以答案选择B Wrong。 　　3. 这道题的答案在第三段的开头French wine making began more than 2,500 years ago.more than=over，所以答案选择A Right。 　　5. 在第七段中，作者提到Each wine producing region has its own character, based on its type of grapes and soil.，即基于葡萄和土壤的种类，每一个酿酒的地方都有自己的特色，所以这道题选择A Right。 　　7. 在倒数第二段中They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems.作者指出法国人认为喝酒会让日常生活便得更舒服、舒适，不再那么仓促，而且也会减少一些问题。通过这句话可以判断出drinking wine is a good way to relax，故答案选择A Right。
