Cities usually have a good reason for being where?。簦鑕y are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth?。飂 the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to?。?million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years?。欤幔鬳r, it was one?。飂 the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the pat(yī)h, killing 63 people. For?。韆ny who made it to Dawson, however,?。鬶e rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 0 people who dug for gold, 4000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for?。簦鑕 rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood?。鱡re?。鰁ry expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go-to see where the?。胊nadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City-its present population is 762.

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such the new?。肅TV tower and the?。蝍tional Center for the Performing Arts, many?。澹鉫llent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center?。髏age.
Their efforts have been proven?。鎟uitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old?。胔inese architect, won the Pritzker Architecture Prize-which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture-on?。疲錬ruary 28. He is the first Chinese?。鉯tizen?。鬿 win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at(yī) the China Academy of Art(CAA). His office is locat(yī)ed at the Xiangshan campus(校園) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings?。铮?the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲線) of the buildings?。餰rfectly mat(yī)ch the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more?。簦鑑n?。?million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional?。鬳chniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern?。醨chitecture and a good knowledge of traditons. through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditons?。骽ould not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that(yī) traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the?。餫st. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that(yī) are still being creat(yī)ed," he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are?。靍arning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. many people tend to talk about?。簦颍幔鋓tions without knowing what they really are," said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined?。鳎閠h practice. otherwise, the recreat(yī)ion of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

C. working harder than ever before

Adults understand what(yī) it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why?。鋙 we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids?。醤d their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage?。鵲ung children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a?。靉rge bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was?。鮪able to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).
For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need,?。醤d use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep?。鑙s interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available.?。祝?passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on?。閠, throwing it. It was totally,?。鉶mpletely enough for him.?。耬fore I knew it?。幔?hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full at(yī)tention and I?。瑁醖?。鑙s. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life,” Bridges runs dance classes for all?。醙es. “Teaching dance?。閟 wonderful. 37 It’s great to watch them.

38 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low?。髉irits and they leave with a smile. 39 ”
