Australia is a very large country. It covers an area of 5 882 000 square kilometers, nearly as big as Europe. There are three main regions: ① The Western Plateau（高原）. ② The Eastern High lands. ③ The Central Lowlands. In January, when it is summer in Australia, its average temperature is 16℃.

Before men knew how to write, clever men could pass on their knowledge only to the people who could hear them speak. These listeners could repeat what they had heard, but by memory only, and what they did not remember was lost. Writing changed all this.

When people first learned to write, they began to record the stories they had already known and likes. Among these was a special kind of story called “fable”.
A fable is a short story that teaches a lesson. In fables animals usually talk and act like people.

“Sir, we want nothing,” said the innkeeper. “but will you tell us something?”

Olympic seal to mark 2008
At the heart of each Olympic celebration, there is a symbol(符号, 记号, 象征) that takes centre stage, an emblem（会徽）that marks out those Games for all time. Recently, China produced a seal（印章）to stamp its own identity（身份）on the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Officially known as “Chinese seal — dancing Beijing”, the emblem has a single Chinese character on a traditional red seal.
Below it, the words “Beijing 2008” are written in Chinese brush. The character in the emblem represents “Jing”, which means “capital”. It also resembles（象，类似）a runner or dancer.
“The running figure represents the spirit of the Olympics (faster, higher, stronger) by focusing on the energy and movement of athletes,” said Jin Shangyi, a member of the 11-person emblem selection group.
He also believes the image carries the message that today’s China is not only a nation with a long and colorful history, but one full of modern development. Yan Ran, 18, a middle school student from Beijing, saw a strong cultural theme in the emblem. “It is so Chinese, it makes me think of Peking Opera,” he said. Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC, 国际奥林匹克委员会), showed his support for the design with his own personal seal, “Within a few short years, the emblem will become one of the most recognizable（可辨认的, 可公认的,）symbols in the world,” he said.
Among the high points of the build-up to the 2008 Games is the Olympic song. Ten songs are being put forward each year, with the winner announced in 2007.
Suggestions for the Olympic mascot（吉祥物）will be put forward next year from within China and from all over the world. Ideas range（包括）from a panda to the Monkey King in the classic Chinese novel “Pilgrimage to the West”（《西游记》）.
Meanwhile, other preparations for the Olympics are moving along smoothly. The plans for the 80 000-seat National Stadium were finalized（最后定下来）in April by a team of Swiss and Chinese designers. Construction of the stadium, which will look like a large bird’s nest, will start by the end of the year. It will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games.
|
A. it is put at the heart of each Olympic celebration B. it is a symbol in the centre stage
C. it makes the Olympic Games different from others forever
D. it is only a part of each Olympic
