31. What makes Australia different First, if you are traveling from Southeast Asia, you will cover about 4,500 miles(7,240 km). If you are from the Americas or South Africa, you will cover about 9000 miles(14,500 km). If you come from Europe, you will have to travel about 10,500 miles(17,000 km). It is not just a quick crossing by boat, or a walk over a bridge. It is a long way to "Down Under". So there are surely to be cultural as well as geographical differences.
And then there is the size of it. It's a long way from one side to the other. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is the most isolated(孤立的) city in the world. It is closer to Singapore than to Sydney, which is about 1, 900 miles(3,000 km) away.
Most countries have probably had population growth, with much the same racial mix, for hundreds of years. Apart, of course, from the Aborigines(土著), who have been there for over 50,000 years, Australians have not been there long. The first Europeans came and lived just over 200 years ago. Most other foreigners arrived less than 50 years ago. Australia's population has doubled since 1957, transforming what was perhaps one of the most boring nations to one of the most exciting, with many interesting differences of culture and custom.
Australians are generally warm-hearted and open. Perhaps they have taken the best from other foreign cultures, mixing them with the best of Aboriginal and early foreign cultures. Australians are also humorous. You are expected to be the same. It is said in Australia that all visitors must be able to take a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself, your country, and so on. And if you really want to be a social hit, tell jokes about yourself, your country, and the way you speak. There is almost nothing that cannot be laughed at.
The important things in life such as traditions (like public festivals) are taken very lightly. Sport, however, is taken very seriously!
Today, Australia has one of the world's highest standards of living, fine food and wine, a great sporting tradition, a colorful and high culture, and an affection for visitors.
(1) How far will visitors travel from Europe to Australia？

(3) When did the first Europeans come to Australia？

32. Richard Sears was unknown in China until 2012, when his story of spending all his money studying Chinese characters was reported online. This caught people's eye. They gave him the nickname"Uncle Hanzi".
Sears was once a computer engineer in the USA. When he was young, he developed an interest in Chinese characters. In 1972, when Sears was only 22, he decided to learn Chinese. He bought a one-way ticket to Taiwan, China to begin his study.
After several years of studying, Sears still found writing Chinese characters difficult. One piece of advice he received was to learn the evolution ( 发展）of Chinese characters, because it could help him remember them. Since then, Sears has made his own research to study how Chinese characters were formed, and built up his own database ( 数据库）.
In 1990, he came up with the idea of sharing the etymological (词源的）information of Chinese characters on the website. In 2002, Sears made the website free for anyone who was interested. Just by typing a Chinese character on his website, people can find out the shapes and evolution of the character.
"Many people think I am crazy - spending all my money and time on the website. But for me, it's just an interest," Sears said. Years of living in China has turned"Uncle Hanzi"into"Grandpa Hanzi", but one thing that hasn't changed is the love Sears has for Chinese characters.

(2) How did Sears learn writing Chinese characters ？（不超过 15 个词）
(3) What makes Sears keep studying Chinese characters （不超过10 个词）
33. Maya Penn, 14 years old, set up her eco-fashion line, Maya's Ideas, when she was eight years old. She has spent much of the past six years designing and hand-making clothing out of cotton, bamboo, silk and wool. "No matter how big my collection grows, "she says, "I will always use eco-friendly materials to make the products. "
She gives 10 to 20 percent of her company's profits (利润）to some non-profit organizations (组织）. In 2011, when she had too many ideas to have them in a clothing line, she founded her own non-profit organization, Maya's Ideas for the Planet. Her sincere hope is to encourage others. Maya's message is that you (yes, you!) can make a difference, no matter how small. We do not all have to design clothing lines and start non-profit organizations by the time we're 14.
A few years ago, when she read about a local reuse-and-recycle event in the newspapers, she made flyers to put up around the city even though she was not the organizer. Now, she often visits schools to talk to students about environmental problems. Luckily for the planet, her creativity and interest for life is focused on environment protection. She has written two children's books with environmental messages. These are printed on recycled paper.
In addition, Maya already finds something common that almost every environmentalist has in his or her life. She says that during her school visits, she has met a lot of young people who care but don't know what to do. What's going on in the environment seems like such a big matter that they feel they have to perform a big action, and they don't know what that action should be.
This problem that whatever we do is too little to matter. "The reason it seems like there's nothing happening, "she says, is because people are afraid to do anything they think won't have results.
A small action leads to a big change, she says. "It has a ripple effect（连锁反应）, whether that person knows it. You may be afraid to do anything but you don't need to have a lot of confidence to do something.

35. Is the world too crowded Well, that's a hard question to answer. It's all a matter of perspective (视角). In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao, 60, 000 people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same. It is increasing at a very fast rate (比例). That's in part because in each generation (代) there are more people who then have children than in the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900, the world's population was under 2 billion. Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you're a parent, there will be twice as many people on Earth as there are now. Wow! That's a whole lot of people! Now the world's population has reached 7 billion. Though there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on Earth equals (相当于) too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the Earth's resources.
