The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre at Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South
Wales, Australia. It is one of the 20th century's most famous and distinctive buildings.
Designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, but completed by an Australian architectural team headed up by Peter
Hall, the building was formally opened on 20 October 1973 after a gestation beginning with Utzon's 1957 selection as a
winner of an international design competition. The Government of New South Wales, led by the premier, Joseph Cahill,
authorized work to begin in 1958 with Utzon directing construction.
The building and its surrounds occupy the whole of Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour, between Sydney Cove
and Farm Cove, adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, and close to the Sydney
Harbour Bridge.
Though its name suggests a single venue, the building comprises multiple performance venues which together
are among the busiest performing arts centers-hosting well over 1,500 performances annually, attended by more than 1.2
million people. Performances are presented by numerous performing artists, including four resident companies: Opera
Australia, The Australian Ballet, The Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. As one of the most
popular visitor attractions in Australia, the site is visited by more than eight million people annually, and approximately
350,000 visitors take a guided tour of the building each year. The building is managed by the Sydney Opera House Trust,
an agency of the New South Wales State Government.
On 28 June 2007, the Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mohammad Hatta is often remembered as Bung Hatta was an Indonesian politician who served as its first vice
president. Known as "The Proclamator", he and a number of Indonesians, including the first president of Indonesia,
Sukarno, fought for the independence of Indonesia from the Dutch. Hatta was born in Fort de Kock, Dutch East Indies
(now Bukittinggi, Indonesia). After his early education, he studied in Dutch schools in the Dutch East Indies and studied in
the Netherlands from 1921 until 1932.
He went to the Dutch language elementary school in Padang from 1913 to 1916 after he had finished Sekolah
Melayu ('Malay School') in Bukittinggi. When he was thirteen, he passed an exam that entitled him to enroll in the Dutch
secondary school in Batavia (now Jakarta). However his mother asked him to stay in Padang because he was still too
young to go to the capital alone. Hatta then entered junior secondary school or MULO.
During his spare time, he worked part-time in a post office. Normally, MULO students were not allowed to work,
but he was able to work there because of the HBS exam qualification. Hatta was interested in football; he joined his
school's football team and was made its chairman. He broadened his sphere of contacts by using his position.
Hatta used to visit the office of the Sarikat Usaha (United Endeavor), led by Taher Marah Soetan. In the office, he
read Dutch newspapers, particularly about political debates in the Volksraad (parliament) of the Dutch East Indies. It was
at the age of sixteen that Hatta began to be interested in politics and national movements. He was chosen the treasurer of
the branch of the Jong Sumatranen Bond (or youth association of Sumatra), which was first established in Padang in 1918.

One upon a time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She felt tired of sitting on them. She just wished the eggs would break
out. Several days later, she got her wish. The eggs cracked and some cute little ducklings appeared. “Peep, peep” the
little ducklings cried. “Quack, quack” their mother greeted in return. However the largest egg had not cracked. The mother
duck sat on it for several days. Finally, it cracked and a huge ugly duckling waddled out. The mother duck looked at him in
a surprise. He was so big and very gray. He didn’t look like the others at all. He was like a turkey.
When the mother duck brought the children to the pond for their first swimming lesson. The huge grey duckling splashed
and paddled about just as nicely as the other ducklings did. “That is not a turkey chick. He is my very own son and quite
handsome” the mother said proudly. However, the other animals didn’t agree. They hissed and made fun of him day by
day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very unkind. “You are very ugly” they quacked. The little poor duckling was
very unhappy. “I wish I looked like them” he thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling run away and hid in the
bushes. The sad duckling lived alone through the cold and snow winter.
Finally the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was swimming in the pond, he saw three large white swans swimming
toward him. “Oh, dear. these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me too” he said to himself. But the swans did not attack
him. Instead, they swam around him and stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to speak to them,
he saw his reflection in the water. He could not believe his eyes. “I am not an ugly duckling but a beautiful swam” he
exclaimed.
He was very happy. From that day on, he swam and played with his new friends and was happier than he had never
been.

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came from a wealthy family
and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from University of Cambridge with a
degree of theology.
He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On December 27,1831, he joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as
a naturalist. The five-year expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and meteorological data from South America and
many other regions around the world. His own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.
He was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam Sedgwick and naturalist John Henslow in his development of the
theory of natural selection, which was to become the foundation concept supporting the theory of evolution. Darwin’s
theory holds that environmental effects lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of
organisms. Natural selection tends to promote adaptation in organisms when necessary for survival. This revolutionary
theory was published in 1859 in Darwin’s now famous on “The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.”

Once upon a time, a witch woman lived in a little hut on the top of the hill. She looked so grim and people were afraid
to near her. It was said that she could change people anything she wished.
One day, two little girls who lived at the foot of the hill were playing together. They were Golden Hair and Blue eyes.
They sat down on the grassy hillside to rest.
“I should like to do something to make everybody happy, “said Blue eyes.
“So should I, “said Golden hair.
“Let ask the woman who lives on the hilltop about it. She is very wise.
“Oh, yes.” Said Blue eyes.
Then, it was a long walk to the top of the hill. Many times they stopped to rest under the oak tree. They could not find
flowers, but they made a basket of oak leaves and filled it with berries for the wise woman. They walked on the rocky
pathway.
After a while, the sun went down, the evening wind was resting. Presently the moon and stars came out. They were
growing very tired, but at last they reached the hut on the hilltop where she lived.
“Look, she is standing at the gate,” said Golden Hair. “So stern she looks.”
“We know that you are a very wise, we wanted you tell us how to make everyone happy.” Said Golden Hair bravely.
“Please, let us stay together,” said Blue eyes.
As she opened the gate for them, she was seen to smile in the moonlight. After that, the two little girls were never
seen again at the foot of the hill.
The next morning, waving golden-rod and purple aster grew over the hillside. Some people said that these two bright
flowers were two girls on that moonlight night.

The Flatiron Building is one of the most famous historic landmarks in New York. The iconic twenty-one story
building, best known for its triangular shape, was one of the early spectacular high-rises that have come to define
Manhattan.
It was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, at the time one of
the most prominent locations in New York City. It is situated near Madison Square at the end of the Ladies' Mile, one of
Manhattan's most important shopping districts at the turn of the nineteenth century.
It was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame skyscraper clad in white terra-cotta. At 21 stories
and 307 ft (93 meters), it was one of the city's tallest buildings. It was not - as is often incorrectly thought - the tallest
building in the world or even the tallest building in New York (these titles belonged to the Park Row Building, built in
1899), but its singular shape and prominent location soon made it one of New York City's most famous landmarks.
The building probably featured on more postcards than any other building of its time. The whole area, the
Flatiron district, was even named after the building. Originally the Flatiron Building featured an observation deck on the
top floor, but taller buildings have taken over this function. It is still, however, a popular tourist attraction, and one of the
most photographed landmarks in New York.
