It is divided into more than twenty countries. The biggest country in Europe is France — except Russia, which is only partly in Europe. And the smallest one is San Marino(圣马力诺), which is only twenty-three square miles.The people of France are similar to the people of Italy, Spain and Portugal, and their languages are almost alike. This is because long ago all these people spoke Latin, so the languages they speak today mainly come from Latin. Other people that are related to each otherare the people from Britain, Germany, Austria, Holland and Norway. They speak languages called Germanic(日尔曼语). The third big “family” in Europe are the Slavs(斯拉夫人), of whom the most important are the Russians. There are also some other smaller groups in Europe.The British Isles are made up of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and various small surrounding islands. From the British Isles, not far across the English Channel is the nextEurop ean country, France. It’s capital is Paris, which is a beautiful city on the River Seine. Traveling further from France, we’ll visit Venice in Italy, a beautiful city of water. Holland is different from the other countries of Europe, because a good deal of the land used to be under the sea. If traveling to the most northern part of Europe, we’ll travel through Scandinavia(斯堪的纳维亚半岛) to Norway, which lies right beyond the Arctic Circle(北极圈).56. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. The size of Europe.B. The languages spoken in Europe.C. The main countries in Europe.D. The history of Europe.57. Holland is special in Europe, because _______.A.people speak a special languages called GermanicB.the languages people speak today come from Latin.C.the land of Holland was covered with water years agoD.it consists of a lot of different small islands58. The most northern part of Europe is ____.A. DenmarkB. NorwayC. HollandD. BritainBIn the United States, friends can be close, constant and real. But if they move live far away from each other, little by little, they will not be as close as before. But neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If two people meet again by chance, even years later, they will be delighted and pick up the friendship again.In America, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays and enjoy their delicious food. If you are invited to a party, just accept their hospitality(款待) for various reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties or family customs. It is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one's home than to go to a public place. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you aren’t treated well. You know, strangers are not invited into the home.Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is not certain, and arrival times are often delayed, so flowers are not often sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! In fact, signs outside change in different lands, but the welcome in the heart is real and valuable.59.

It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. Itis n’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind.

Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it.
