2 . Here are four small places in England, all packed with delightful scenery and more.
Lavenham. Suffolk
In the town, ancient buildings lean casually into one another. As a result, wandering down the high street feels like walking through a fairy tale or a Hollywood movie as Lavenham has appeared in many Hollywood movies. Behind the high walls are several excellent restaurants, but first time visitors should go to the Lavenham Guildhall, where you can drink tea in a well-preserved Tudor room.
Shaftesbury, Dorset
Home to Gold I Hill, the cobblestone street known as “one of the most romantic sights in England”. Shaftesbury is a major charmer. The tiny Dorset town is also home to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey, built in 888 AD by King Alfred, a man well-known for creating England. Shaftesbury is also surrounded by a wealth of incredible countryside rich in picnicking potential including Duncliffe Wood and Melbury Beacon.
St Ives. Cornwall
St Ives used to be little more than a traditional fishing village, but now it has developed into a popular coastal town. Its soft, sandy beaches regularly win awards and there are also plenty of top seafood dining options. The town has even gained a reputation as a serious arts center, with lots of outstanding galleries led by the Tate St Ives, which features attractive modern art exhibitions focusing on British artists.
Castle Combe. Wiltshire
Recognized as the “pretticst village in England”. Castle Combe is famous for its handsome honey colored stone houses and flower-lined lanes (小巷) which have decorated countless postcards and magazine covers over the years.

6 . What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you picture an imposing building in a rather traditional design made of high-quality stone. But according to the Museums Association, "a museum is defined as a place enabling people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment." And so of the 2500 estimated muse in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional and peculiar. No matter how special your interest, there's a museum for you!
What about Neil Cole's Adventures in Science Fiction? This quirky (离奇古怪的) museum of classic science fiction was opened by founder Neil Cole. Visitors to this Allendale attraction in Northumberland can see items ranging from props used in the BBC series Dr Who to part of Thor's costume from the Avengers movie. "Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this," says Mr Cole.
If clocks are more to your taste, why not visit the Cuckooland Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this Cheshire collection of over 600 cuckoo clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world-and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.
Finally, you could visit the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This alternative institution dislikes the trend of educating visitors through written explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays a its all special treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.
These are just a few examples. There are many more wonderful institutions out there. All you have to do is go and find them!

7 . It’s no secret that Auckland(the largest city in New Zealand)is a diverse city full of different cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic groups are recorded as living here and Auckland has a wider variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney, with 40 percent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing makeup of the country’s population is showed in the latest NZ Geographic magazine,which focuses on ethnic diversity,age,wealth and attitudes,drawn from the latest census(人口普查)figures.
Massey University humanities and social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland’s multiculturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities,in particular,in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001,when 6.6 percent of the Kiwi people(New Zealanders)were Asian.The proportion(比例)in Auckland was 14.6 percent. By 2006,18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally,the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian—and that figure was increasing.“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back.”Mr.Spoonley said.“And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples.That had been a hugely noticeable change,Mr.Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland. “The environment is clean，there’s fresh air and there’s safety of food. There’s a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries,such as America,Canada and Australia.

8 . Qatar World Cup Stadiums
For the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has gone all out to build and rebuild eight breathtaking stadiums. All of them are located in its capital Doha and the neighbouring cities, and will host 32 teams in 64 matches. The average capacity (容量) of the stadiums is as high as over 53,000.
Qatari officials made a budget that they may need to pay up to $10 billion to complete the stadiums for this World Cup, but they have managed to get it done for less. The cost for all eight World Cup stadiums stands at around $6.5 billion.
All the stadiums are powered by solar-panel farms, and, given Qatar’s hot climate, their cooling systems have been particularly designed. In fact, Qatar’s devotion to sound environmental practices has earned all the stadiums four or five stars from the Global Sustainability Assessment System. It’s also very impressive.
Here are four stadiums of the eight modern marvels.
