1.What is the most common way to travel in Venice today
A. Buses
B. Gondolas
C. Bicycles
2.What major problem is Venice facing
A. Earthquakes
B. Air pollution
C. Sinking buildings
3.How does the new project protect Venice from floods
A. By building higher walls
B. By using movable gates
C. By closing the lagoon gaps permanently
Located in the north-east of Italy, Venice is known as"The Floating City”. But Venice is not one single island. It is made up of over 100 small islands,which are connected by waterways and bridges.
Water has always been a big part of life in Venice. Even today, boats remain the most common way to travel around. Look anywhere in Venice, and you'll see a traditional boat called a“gondola".
Unfortunately, water is also putting Venice in great danger. Saltwater is slowly damaging the bases of Venice's buildings. The Floating City is, in fact, sinking.
More problems are caused by floods,which usually hit the city each winter.
_____________ greatly influences the lives of the local people in Venice.
Natural environment
But these floods could now be a thing of the past thanks to a new flood prevention project.
Venice lies in the middle of a lagoon(环礁湖), with three natural gaps open to the sea. Rain and strong winds cause seawater to travel through the gaps to Venice. Dozens of gates have been built to hold back the sea. Each of these gates is 20 metres wide, with the longest about 30 metres long. In the event of a big rise in the water level, the gates will be raised to separate the city from the sea.
But only time will tell if this project is the right solution. The important thing is that action is being taken to protect this unique city for future generations. And if it works, it means a longer, drier future for Venice.
Arctic
Around four million people live in the Arctic region, of whom around 170,000 are Inuit.
In the Arctic, the temperature can reach as low as -70 C.
The Arctic includes parts of eight countries: Canada, Russia, the United States, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Finland.

But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4,000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality.
