How much do you know about Chicago, Illinois, in the United States? You might think it’s a big city. And it is! Chicago is actually the third most populous(人口总多的) city in the US, right after New York City and Los Angeles, according to the US 2010 Census.

“The Windy City” is Chicago’s most famous nickname (绰号). It is for good reason. The city lies right next to Lake Michigan and heavy gusts (一阵风) of wind blow through the city.

Chicago is very well known for its art and culture, In fact, TripAdvisor says that the Art Institute of Chicago is the No. 1 place to visit in the city. It is not only a school, but also a world-class art museum.

If you’re not feeling like a museum, your best choice is to visit Millennium Park. This is one of my personal favorites. This park holds the famous Cloud Gate, and it looks kind of like a big reflective bean(反光的豆子). Many people enjoy taking photos in its reflection.

Chicago has lot of fun things to do. If you enjoy heights, go to visit the famous Willis Tower! You can go up to the top of it and step out onto a glass box. You’ll be standing over the city, but don’t worry – it’s completely safe. Doesn’t Chicago sound like a fun city? 26. Which of the following cities has the largest population in the US?

Australia is the greatest island in the world. It is to the south of the equator(赤道). So when it is summer in our country, it is cold winter in Australia.

Australia is big, but the population(人口) there is thin. The population is the same as that of Shanghai, a city of China. Australia is young, diverse nation and Australian people come from many different countries.

Australia has many, many sheep. After a short drive from town, you will see sheep around you. You can also find a kangaroo which has a “bag” below its chest. The mother kangaroo keeps its baby in the “bag”.

Australia is considered to be a relaxed, informal society(社会). When greeting others, students and young people say “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes they say “How’s it going?” or “G’

day”. In more formal(正式的)situations they usually shake hands the first time they meet. “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”or “Pleased to meet you”are formal greetings. English is Australia’s national language.

People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to learn more about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes（态度）, how they feel about business, beauty and history.

What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, and that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But
