【小题1】 In France, when a woman enters a cafe or restaurant, she is freely discussed, not only about her looks but about her past and future as well, whether she is beautiful or plain. There is no better way for a woman to get back her self-confidence than a walk in the streets of Paris or Marseilles, and women really like that.
