[填空题]Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognizable images of the modem world—up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building—and one of the most photographed. Not only is it recognizable, it has come to 1 "Australia". Although only having been open since 1973, it is as the symbol of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome.
The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbor. The skyline of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the blue water of the harbor and the Sydney- Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is 2 and unforgettable.
Ironic, perhaps, that this Australian icon—the Opera House—was designed by renowned (有名的) Danish architect—Jorn Utzon. In the late 1950s the New South Wales Government established an appeal 3 to finance the construction of the Sydney Opera House, and 4 a competition for its design. Utzon’s design was chosen.
The irony was that his design was, arguably, beyond the 5 of engineering at the time. Utzon spent a couple of years reworking the design. It was 1961 before he had solved the problem of how to build the 6 feature-the "sails" of the roof.

Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s king, he says, in English, "check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words come from Persian. "Shah mat" means ’the king is dead’. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You do not have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting a
A. he attacks the other player’s king
