But Venice is such a city.Venice is in the north-east of Italy. It wasnt built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isnt difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 177 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and the cool summer night while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1, 500 years ago, and built homes there.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and theres nothing special but when they come back to the bridge an hour later, its underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italys biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.（1）According to the passage, Venice is _ of Italy.

You bravely raise your hand to answer a question, but your teacher just point out that youre wrong. What a shame! What could the teacher make you suffer (忍受) this?Relax. _. Your teacher isnt calling you out to humiliate (使丢脸) you, but rather out of concern for you and your education.Having all your classmates come to know your weak points can be pretty hard, so how can you get past the shame and recognize class participation as a learning opportunity?Get out of your comfort zone. Terrill Schumaker, a teacher, explains that “the more you speak out, the more you learn how to grow and build confidence. _”Realize its not a big deal. _. People arent going to care all that much. “If Im wrong or make a stupid point, then people laugh at me, but life moves on” says Grade 12 Kristen Wesenberg. Besides, everybody makes mistakes, and you cant be perfect all the time._. Of course it takes courage (勇气), but as Wesenberg says, Whats the point of living in fear? You wont learn anything if you are not brave enough.Use the experience as a learning tool. Wesenberg advises asking teachers why youre wrong so they can explain and you can learn._. If youre wrong now, at least you wont be wrong in your next test!A. Be brave in class
