As

former
capitals,
Xi’an
grew
to
be
the
largest
city
in
the
world
during
the
Tang
Dynasty,
a
golden
age
of
art
and
poetry.
Chang’an,
as
it
was
known
at
the
time,
was
the
starting
point
of
the
Silk
Road,
which
connected
China
to
the
world.
It
was
here
that
Xuan
Zang
set
out
on
his
famous
travels,
which
became
the
basis
of
Journey
to
the
West.
Historic
sites
from
that
time
include
the
two
Wide
Goose
Pagodas
and
the
remains
of
the
Daming
Palace,
which
was
the
centre
of
the
Tang
court.

作为中国伟大的前首都之一，西安在唐朝发展成

it

one
of
the

The

Florence’s
hi
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)story
is
alive
with
the
memory
of
a
time
when
art,
culture
and
science
were
being
“reborn”.
In
the
late
13th
century,
the
Renaissance
began
here
before
spreading
to
the
rest
of
Europe.
At
that
time,
Michelangelo,
Leonardo
da

and
Galileo
were
some
of
the
people
living,
working
and
studying
in
Florence.
During
this
period,
they,
along
with
other
great

contributed
valuable

佛罗伦萨，意大利著名的历史名城之一，是许多惊人的想法和发现的诞生地!

of

An
example
is
Michelangelo’s
famous
statue
David,
which
he
completed
between
1501
and

Another
must-see
is

there
in

佛罗伦萨到处都是艺术、科学和历史博物馆

在今天的佛罗伦萨，你可以体验旧与新。历史遗迹与高档餐厅和高档商店毗邻。当你在品尝美味的当地食物时，你可以决定参观下一个哪些有趣的地方。

She
usually

at

However,
today
she
would
visit
her
aunt
in
Toronto.
She
was
about
to
go
to
the
bus
station.
This
wasn’t
her
first

trip
on
her

but
she
still
felt
a
bit
nervous.
The
bus
ride
wouldn’t
be
short:
it
was
going
to
take
almost
five
hours.
Gina
put
some
fruit
and
a

in

It

nine

she
arrived
and
the
station
was
crowded.
Long
lines
of
people
were
waiting
there.
It
took
45
minutes
to
buy
a
ticket.
When
she
got
own
her
bus,
there
was
one
seat
left,
next
to
a
boy
in
a
basketball
shirt.
He
was
talking
on
his
mobile
phone.
The
boy
looked
up
when
she
sat
down
beside
him.
Gina
smiled
and
she
wanted
to
talk
to
him.
However,
the
boy
didn’t
smile
back.
She
was
still
watching
him
when
he
turned
away
and
looked
out
of
the
dirty
window.
He
didn’t
want
to
talk.
“What
did
I
do?
Was
I
impolite?”
she
wondered.
Gina
closed
her
eyes.
She
thought
about
her
trip.
She
was
going
to
spend
a
week
at
her
aunt’s
place.
She

“We

Gina

She

No

She

Things
got
worse
by

Gina

She

down

The

away
in

She
felt
as

Gina

started
crying
when
she
suddenly
heard
a
voice
behind
her.
“Does

It

Last
week
I
went
to
Qu
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)eenstown
in
New
Zealand.I
travelled
there
by
bus,through
the
mountains
and
past
peaceful
lakes.It
was
a
long,tiring
trip,but
while
I
was
travelling.I
met
a
girl
called
Kate.We
had
a
nice
chat.She
was
from
Queenstown
and
she
was
very
helpful.She
told
me
all
about
the
place.
Queenstown
is
in
a
be
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)autiful
location.It’s
next
to
Lake
Wakatipu
and
it
was
originally
a
Maori
settlement.Then
in
the
1860s
there
was
a
gold
rush.That’s
when
the
Europeans
came
and
settled
there.
While
I
was
sta
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)ying
in
Queenstown,I
didn’t
see
any
gold,but
I
did
see
a
lot
of
adventure
sports.Queenstown
is
famous
for
them.The
weather
was
cold,but
sunny
and
bright,so
I
tried
snowboarding.I
also
went
to
a
music
festival.It
was
very
busy,but
I
met
a
lot
of
friendly
people.
As
well
as
festivals
a
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)nd
sports,I
visited
some
lively
markets
and
ate
sat
some
popular
restaurants.Queenstown
was
a
fantastic
and
energetic
place!

When
we
read
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)about
a
famous
city,we
are
often
drawn
to
its
unique
history
and
culture,and
want
to
travel
there
to
experience
a
different
way
of
life.www.21-cn-jy.com
In
this
section,you
wi
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)ll
first
read
a
passage
about
place
names
in
Australia.You
will
then
watch
a
video
about
the
natural
resources
in
Nanning,the
capital
of
Guangxi

Autonomous

1.Read
the
short
passage
below
and
discuss
the
question.【出处：21教育名师】
How
do
you
understand
the
sentence
“For
in
naming
we
speak,don’t
we?”
Naming
is
important
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
in
almost
any
culture.People
name
their
children
for
a
variety
of
reasons.They
may
want
to
express
their
hopes,dreams
and
what
they
believe
in.Sometimes,this
is
done
simply
for
the
purpose
of
giving
it
a
name.As
Shakespeare
wrote
in
Romeo
and
Juliet,
“...that
which
we
call
a
rose/By
any
other
name
would
smell
as
sweet.”Like
people,places
or
buildings
are
also
named
for
many
different
reasons.In
the
words
of
Plato,
“For
in
naming
we
speak,don’t
we?”
2.Read
the
passage
on

and

and
complete
the
table
below.Choose
at
least
three
places
to
illustrate
the
meanings
behind
or
the
origins
of
their
names.Then
present
your
ideas
to
the
class.

What’s
in
a
name?
Last
year,
as
I
was
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)
travelling
through
Australia,I
often
stopped
at
places
with
strange
names:names
like
Murwillumbah
and
Waterloo.I
often
asked
myself,
“Where
do
all
these
names
come
from,and
what
can
we
learn
from
them?”
Local
people
sometimes
knew
the
answer
and
sometimes
they
didn’t,so
I
decided
to
look
at
these
place
names
more
closely
and
found
out
some
interesting
facts.
“Where
are
we?”
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)That’s
the
question
we
all
ask
when
we
arrive
in
a
new
place.Think
about
it.How
can
we
tell
another
person
where
we
are?Many
place
names
give
us
an
idea
because
they
describe
physical
features,like
“big
hill”,
“dry
desert”,or
“tall
tree”.Thousands
of
years
ago,this
is
how
the
first
Australians—the
Aborigines—named
places.Today,in
Australia,there
are
thousands
of
places
with
Aboriginal
names,towns
like
Murwillumbah
(good
campsite),Nambucca
(entrance
to
the
sea),Bondi
Beach
(from
the
word
“Boondi”,the
sound
of
water
falling
over
rocks)
and
Uluru
(big
rock).
The
Europeans
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)had
different
ideas.When
they
first
arrived
in
1606,they
wanted
to
make
this
strange
new
land
feel
like
home.How
did
they
do
it?Well,they
borrowed
names
from
the
country
they
came
from—it
showed
that
these
places
belonged
to
them.French
and
Dutch
place
names
like
Bougainville
and
American
Land
started
to
appear
along
the
Australian
coast.Then,in
1770,the
English
explorer
Captain
James
Cook
arrived
in
Botany
Bay.Soon,there
was
Melbourne,a
town
named
after
a
British
Prime
Minister,and
Waterloo,named
after
a
famous
battle
between
England
and
France.
Altogether
there
are
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)over
250,000
names
in
Australia:names
of
rivers,mountains,deserts,towns,cities
and
many
more.These
names
can
tell
us
what
we
can
find
there,they
can
tell
us
about
history,then
can
warn
us
about
danger
or
they
can
welcome
us.Next
time
you
travel
to
a
new
place,think
about
its
name.What
is
it
telling
you?
