The Netherlands is more than 41,500 square kilometres in area. It is a bit larger than the size of Taiwan, China.The Netherlands is rich in culture and art. It is home of many great artists, for example, Vincent van Gogh. Besides fine art, the Netherlands is also called the country of tulips (郁金香). It has the worlds largest tulip garden: Keukenhof garden. Dutch people are very hard-working. Theres a saying: “God made the Earth, but the Dutch made Holland.” More than a quarter of the country is below sea level. So Dutch people build many dams (水坝) to protect the country from flooding. They have created almost one sixth of the country from seas and rivers!Did you know? Rubber ducks are popular around the world. Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman created it in 2007. The yellow duck is 26 metres high. Wooden clogs (木底鞋) are traditional shoes in the Netherlands. They make good gifts for tourists. In the Netherlands, it is impolite to start eating at once.

The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed,but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets,they need special horseshoes. In fact,they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths(铁匠). There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.The cost of shoing(为钉蹄铁) a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars,and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg while he works. Clearly,a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horsesfor before the blacksmith can begin his work,he has to get the horse to lift its leg.One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing(铁匠活) because his father did it,and,as the puts it,"It's a good way to make a living.”( )6.

The problem is so popular that newspapers even call the iPad the “No. 1 killer of childrens eyesight”.“There are about 30 shortsighted children coming every day.” Said Hu Dali, an eye doctor at Guiyang Eye Hospital. “Half of those children have poor eyesight because they have played with phones and iPads for too long.”Doctors and scientists say childrens vision is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. The screen of an iPad uses a very bright LED backlight. If children look at an iPad screen for a long time, their eyes dont have time to rest. This will make their eyesight worse over time.Doctors advise that users should hold their iPads between 40-60 centimeter(厘米)away from them. The brightness of the screen should be comfortable for children. Parents should also stop their children from using an iPad for more than one hour every day.IPads bring 1 to childrens eyesThe story of HaiyanHaiyan 2 an iPad as a gift.
