    The baguette，a long，thin French bread，is being added to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour，water，salt，and yeast—was worth U.N.recognition，after France's culture ministry warned of a "continuous drop" in the number of traditional bakeries（烘焙坊），with some 400 closing every year over the past half century.
   The UN cultural agency's chief，Audrey Azoulay said， "the decision honors more than just bread；it recognizes the 'graceful skills of bakers' and 'a daily ritual （儀式）'." Azoulay added， "It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future."
   With the bread's new status （地位），the French government said it planned to create a baguette day，called the "Open Bakehouse Day"，to connect the French better with their heritage.Bakers in France seemed proud，if unsurprised. "Of course，it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world.It's universal，" said Asma Farhat，a baker at Julien's Bakery. "If there's no baguette，you can't have a proper meal.In the morning you can toast it，for lunch it's a sandwich，and then it accompanies dinner."
   Despite the decline in traditional bakery numbers，F(xiàn)rance's 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points，including in supermarkets.According to France's "Bread Observatory"，the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second.The problem is，observers say，that they can often be poor in quality. "It's very easy to get bad baguette in France.It's the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger.It's about quality not quantity，" said one local resident，Marine Fourchier.

1．    Forecasters say Floridians should monitor a system likely to become a tropical depression（熱帶低壓）as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
   The area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea was producing showers and thunderstorms，according to a Friday evening update from the National Hurricane Center.Condition s favor slow development over the next several days，and forecasters expect the system will become a tropical depression early next week while moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
   Michael Brennan，the National Hurricane Center director，said in a live video Friday， "There is a lot of uncertainty with this system since it's yet to take shape.What we're most confident in is that there will likely be some rainfall impacts across much of the Florida Peninsula and possibly up along the southeast coast of the United States."
   The potential threat for Florida would come around on Tuesday，said Brian McNoldy，a researcher at the University of Miami.McNoldy added that global models were in agreement that the system would develop slowly.The hurricane center on Friday gave the system the temporary name of Invest 93 L，meaning forecasters would collect specialized data and run more models.
   According to Mark Luther，a professor at the University of South Florida，tropical systems like to feed off that hot water，especially when it's hot below the surface like it is now. "Keep a sharp eye on it and have your hurricane plan in place，" Luther said. "Even if it's a small storm，if it hits at the right angle，it can cause flooding around here."
   Storms that cross through this steamy section of the eastern Gulf of Mexico have historically intensified（增強(qiáng)）quickly.Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged off the Yucatán Peninsula before ultimately making landfall as a Category 5 storm in Florida's Panhandle.

（1）What did Brennan think would most likely happen next week？

A．Water shortage.
B．Severe damage.
C．Fine weather.
D．Heavy rainfall.
（2）What did Luther probably expect people to do？

A．Ask for clear guidance.
B．Be watchful about possible disasters.
C．Make a quick decision.
D．Send relief to flood victims at once.
（3）Why does the author mention Hurricane Michael？

A．To express his heartfelt thanks for the rescue effort.
B．To erase scientists' doubts about these global models.
C．To prove the weather forecast is timely and accurate.
D．To explain the tropical system may bring heavy storm.
（4）What is the text？

A．A news report.
B．A diary entry.
C．A children's story.
D．A research paper.
