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

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 zxxk 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 28 Wang s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are A

hilly environment B Its large size C Its unique style D Its diverse functions 30 What made Wang s architectural design a success 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 31 What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang A Spread them to the world B Preserve them at museums C Teach them in universities D Recreate them in practice D 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 zxxk 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
