The Paris museum，the Pompidou Centre，has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians' hearts.But it wasn't always the case.
“When it was first built，the reaction was one of disbelief，” said Serge Lasvignes，president of the Pompidou Centre.“LeMonde newspaper wrote the museum's construction brought shame on Paris，and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted，”said Lasvignes.Critics said it looked like an oil refinery(炼油厂).
France's first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man—Georges Pompidou，an art lover who served as France's president from 1969 to 1974.
In 1971，he started an international competition to build the museum，originally known as the Centre Beaubourg.The winning team，which included three young architects from Britain and Italy，was completely unknown at the time.Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers，the two architects who saw the project through，made the plan a reality.
“They didn't think they had a chance to win.So they thought they might as well do exactly what they wanted，” Lasvignes said.
“The design took everyone by surprise and it was completely different from any other museum.Someone said to Piano，‘Your thing is terrible—with the escalator(自动扶梯) on the outside，it looks like a supermarket！’” Lasvignes added.
Forty years later，the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone，Lasvignes said.He calls the Pompidou Centre a museum like no other.“We are not only a museum，” he said.“We have concerts，debates，performances，a library...and everything flows together.” Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful.“So we are a house of culture where people return again and again，” Lasvignes said.

The Paris museum，the Pompidou Centre，has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians' hearts.But it wasn't always the case.
“When it was first built，the reaction was one of disbelief，” said Serge Lasvignes，president of the Pompidou Centre.“LeMonde newspaper wrote the museum's construction brought shame on Paris，and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted，”said Lasvignes.Critics said it looked like an oil refinery(炼油厂).
France's first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man—Georges Pompidou，an art lover who served as France's president from 1969 to 1974.
In 1971，he started an international competition to build the museum，originally known as the Centre Beaubourg.The winning team，which included three young architects from Britain and Italy，was completely unknown at the time.Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers，the two architects who saw the project through，made the plan a reality.
“They didn't think they had a chance to win.So they thought they might as well do exactly what they wanted，” Lasvignes said.
“The design took everyone by surprise and it was completely different from any other museum.Someone said to Piano，‘Your thing is terrible—with the escalator(自动扶梯) on the outside，it looks like a supermarket！’” Lasvignes added.
Forty years later，the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone，Lasvignes said.He calls the Pompidou Centre a museum like no other.“We are not only a museum，” he said.“We have concerts，debates，performances，a library...and everything flows together.” Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful.“So we are a house of culture where people return again and again，” Lasvignes said.

Fraser Island
Fraser Island，off the east coast of Australia，is an amazing sight.Waves of clear water crash onto the white sandy beaches.The people who first lived there called it Kgari.It means paradise，and that's exactly what it is.
Fraser Island is a World Heritage Site(世界遗产保护区)because of its unique natural surroundings. 1 It has more sand than the Sahara Desert.Huge sand dunes(沙丘) move slowly across the island with the wind.In the valleys between the sand dunes are freshwater lakes. 2
The island has everything—over 120km of clean beaches，rainforests，and rare birds and animals. 3 You need this type of vehicle because you have to drive through sand.
There are no roads on Fraser Island. 4 Even airplanes land on the sand.It's described as one of the most beautiful drives in the world.If you plan on staying overnight，you must camp out in a tent，as there are few places to stay on the island. 5
Fraser Island is a beautiful and unique place.With everything so naturally beautiful，it will not be around forever.Everyone should see it once in their lifetime.
