Before coming to France， I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But， when I arrived in Paris， I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.
On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel， Dior， Pierre Cardin. In daily life， however， most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite， I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities， what people wear are usually casual dresses， such as T-shirts and jeans.
French people act as the fashion leaders， but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants(移民) from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential(有影响的) in this city. Therefore， you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.

China Mobile， the country‘s largest mobile communications operator， has accounted for nearly 40 percent of revenues (税收) in the domestic telecom market. That puts it at the top of the six major telecom operators in the nation， according to the latest official statistics.
The other five are： China Telecom， 31.1 percent; China Netcom， 16.6 percent; and China Unicom， 13.4 percent; China Satellite Communications Corp and China Railcom， 1.5 percent.

Bend over， take a deep breath and drink some water! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝)。 Hiccups are so mysterious. We really don‘t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.
An American man named Jack O‘Leary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60，000 cures， but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude， the saint of Hopeless cases， and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British plumber eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all， but the hiccups continued. Finally， he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
