Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
8. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.A.following the latest world trend |
B.getting international recognition |
C.working harder than ever before |
D.relying on foreign architects |
A.Its hilly environment. |
B.Its large size. |
C.Its unique style. |
D.Its diverse functions. |
A.The mixture of different shapes. |
B.The balance of East and West. |
C.The use of popular techniques. |
D.The harmony of old and new. |
A.Spread them to the world. | B.Preserve them at museums. |
C.Teach them in universities. | D.Recreate them in practice. |

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
12. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A.The more, the better. | B.Enough is enough. |
C.More money, more worries. | D.Earn more and spend more. |
A.Saving up for her holiday | B.Raising money for a poor girl |
C.Adding the money to her fund | D.Giving the money to a sick mother |
A.To try out an idea |
B.To show a parent’s love |
C.To train his attention |
D.To help him start a hobby |
A.Take It or Leave It | B.A Lesson from Kids |

Science fiction short stories are a genre of short stories with a plot that deals with science and the latest technology. This type of story is suitable for young people who are excited about learning and exploring new things.
Expand your English vocabulary.
As you read a sci-fi story, you will come across words that you don’t understand. Every time you come across a difficult word, you should look it up in the dictionary and find out its meaning.
Improve your imagination.
Another benefit is that it can improve your imagination and help you become more creative. There are times when you find your imagination is not creative enough and you get stuck when you are trying to come up with some ideas for a creative project.
Spend your free time meaningfully.
If you read a lot of sci-fi stories, you will have things to talk to people in conversations. If you have nothing to talk about in conversations, people will find you boring. If you know a lot of stories, you can mention them to a person you have met and this can spark up (激起) an interesting conversation.
A.Develop a good reading habit. |
B.Give you something to talk about. |
C.Making full use of your time can help you to develop a disciplined lifestyle. |

F.The more science fiction stories you read, the wider your vocabulary will become. |
