No other capital in Europe has more charm or a richer past than Vienna, the capital of Austria, Green woods, and the large Danube River give the city beautiful surroundings.
Vienna has more than 1,600,000 people. Almost one-fourths of all the people of Austria live there. Vienna is sometimes called “a city without a country”. It’s so big that it does not seem to be suitable in so small a country as Austria.
Vienna was a center of science and art and music, too. Many great musicians lived there. It had the name of being of a city of spirits, partly because of the dance music and operettas(轻歌剧)written by Viennese musicians.
After World War I Vienna found itself the capital of a rather poor country of less than 7,000 people. World War II made Vienna even worse than it was before. Since 1955, however, Vienna has been fast regaining its past greatness.

There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first invention was one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. They all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: sound film in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

Here are some of the many different ways in which different societies with different cultures behave in addition to making introductions, greetings and saying goodbye.
Firstly there is smiling. In some societies, people smile a lot. In others, they don’t. when it comes to laughing, the differences are even greater in some places. It is quite common for people to laugh at misfortunes. If someone falls and hurts himself, people nearby may laugh. Or a person may laugh when telling others about the death of a friend or a relative. In other societies, such behavior may seem quite shocking.
Then there is the custom of giving gifts. In western countries, gifts are usually given on birthdays and at Christmas, to one’s relatives and close friends. These gifts must be opened in front of the person who is giving them, and that person must be thanked at that time. In Asia, on the other hand, things are quite different. When gifts are given, they are usually put aside. Asians are more likely to give gifts to their teachers than Europeans and Americans.
Finally, there is sharing food. Here the difference between different societies can be very great. In some countries, such as in the Pacific Islands, it is customary to cook too much food for the family at each meal, in case a visitor comes. On the other hand, Europeans don’t visit each other at the meal time, unless they have been especially invited for a meal.
