4、ltures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries - or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its n
5、ative frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States
6、 imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In Lo

8、and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe.

There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger
31、 resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations. French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of m
32、oney back into the areas. This provides state-of-the-art* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season. The French school systems have a staggered* two
33、-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the “Paris school holiday week which will always be in the middle
34、period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break. No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. True, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if youre look
35、ing for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance. The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*. When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always sha
36、ke hands. Dont use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men dont usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversa
37、tion include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and pol
38、itics of other countries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France. France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Always secure your vehi
39、cles, leave nothing of value visible and dont carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Exercise A:When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands.
