There are some famous buildings that everyone can recognize. When you see a picture of a sports stadium that reminds you of a bird’s nest, you probably know it is the Olympic stadium in Beijing. When you see a picture of a famous concert hall that reminds you of a sailing ship, you probably know it is the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Buildings like these are easily recognized everywhere in the world. They were designed to look like other things if people use their imaginations.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填写表格。(每空限填一词)
Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!

“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction.According to experts,Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example,one college student was missing for several days.His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him.They called the police.The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight.
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted.The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.  
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(症状):

★You go out with your friends less and less.
★You can’t wait to get online again.
★You’ve decided to spend a short time online,but then you spend several hours.
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the solution? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it,or the Internet would control you.
小题1:How many hours does an Internet addict spend online every week according to experts?

Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
