It’s only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”?

Viti Levu – Great Fiji – is the largest island. Here you’ll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay.

Whit less than a million people living on islands, you’ll never feel crowded. And with a climate(气候) that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there’s never a bad time to come.

 From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.

Whenever you come, wherever you go, you’re sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious(宗教的) songs. From market days to religious days. It’s not just staged for tourists; it’s still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji’s spirit by being part of the traditional(传统的) sharing of yaqona, a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries.For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate (庆祝) each year，while for others it is a catastrophe (灾害) or even a wonder.

There are countries between these two extremes (极端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months，but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year.Britain is one such country，for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems.Within hours of the first snowfall，however light，roads are locked，trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic.Normal communications are affected as well，telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual.Almost within hours，there are also certain shortages (短缺)—bread，vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops，but mainly because people are frightened，and go out to store up these commodities (goods)，“Just for fear that something bad should happen”．

Why then does snow have this effect？After all the Swiss，Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems.It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation.We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice.To keep the roads clear，for example，requires snow­ploughs and machines to spread salt.The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snowploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year，and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals，education or helping the old.

A．which has regular snow

A．shops have closed down

B．people buy as much as they can

A．spreading salt is good enough

B．old people need more money

C．snowploughs are not used often

D．the hospital is more important

A．which have lots of snow most of the year and those which hardly ever have any snow
