Since then, people have come from all over the world to live in New Zealand.New Zealand has three official languages: English, Maori and New Zealand Sign Language. Many places in New Zealand have Maori names. “Kia ora” is a Maori language greeting。In 1865, Wellington took Aucklands place and became the capital of New Zealand, but the largest city is Auckland. Both cities are on the North Island.New Zealand has high mountains, active volcanoes, lakes, rainforests and beautiful sandy beaches, which made it a location for the movie The Lord of the Rings.New Zealand has mild temperatures and lots of sunshine.

It is the symbol of the country and you can find pictures of kiwis on New Zealand stamps and coins. The kiwi is named after its calls kewe, kewe. New Zealanders are also called Kiwis, but very few New Zealanders have ever seen a kiwi bird in the wild!New Zealand is also famous for its sheep.

English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America form Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beet, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers” Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.29According to the writer, English is .Aits old as Chinese Bolder than GermanCnot so old as Chinese Dvery difficult to learn30Hamburg is .A. a kind of food B. a city in GermanyC. the name of a village D. a round piece of beef31.

And although technology, including the use of tire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still take great damage.According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96.385 fires and9,873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the 10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year. with Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to an usually high amount of activity. Wildfire have also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado. and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭） enriches soil, and some plant species grow well after. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.33.
