WellingtonAs the capital city and geographical centre of New Zealand, Wellington is the focus of the country's financial and political power.
Wellington became the capital in 1865 and by 1870, the population was growing at a brisk rate and it began to assume that cosmopolitan air that has characterised it ever since. While construction has changed the skyline with modern skyscrapers, Wellington has also retained many of its historic sites and buildings. Among these are Antrim House, the Colonial Cottage Museum, Old St Paul's Cathedral, Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace, the Parliament Buildings, including the 'Beehive' and the many city villas which cling precariously to the steep hillsides. Downtown Wellington on Lambton Quay is popular with shoppers. Don't miss a trip on the Cable Car which takes you from Lambton Quay to Kelburn, the Botanic Gardens and superb harbour views. For a different perspective of the city, take a harbour cruise or a ferry trip to Eastbourne, where there are craft shops, galleries and cafes. Wellington also has a strong yachting fraternity. The city has long been recognised as the cultural and arts capital of New Zealand. It is home to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Royal New Zealand Ballet, opera companies, theatre and a large number of art galleries, including the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The cosmopolitan nature of Wellington is reflected in the 350 restaurants and cafes serving innovative New Zealand and ethnic cuisine. North of Wellington is the Kapiti Coast whose main attractions are the world-class Southward Car Museum, the Lindale Agricultural Centre and the superb Maori craftsmanship of the Rangiatea Church at Otaki. Further inland is the lively university and agricultural city of Palmerston North situated in the Manawatu region.

閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求).
Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor cars cover a hundred miles
in lithe more than an hour,aircraft cross the world inside a day,while computers operate at lightning
speed. Indeed,this love of speed seems never ending. Every year motor cars are produced which g
o even faster and each new computer boasts(吹噓)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time,but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in
an airplane,our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as j et lag; our bodies
feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again,spending too long at computers results
in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also ,according to some scientists;too much
use may put harmful radiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about.
However,what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax,or so it seems. We are
so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at
a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting
imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕耘)of the land
or the care of cattle. No multi tasking there;their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar
pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so,we must
think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced:they farmed with bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and
had to make tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive
existence.
1. What's the passage mainly about?(within 10 words)
2. List the difficulties our ancestors met according to the text. (within 15 words)
①
②
③
3. Fill in the blank in the 2nd paragraph with proper words or phrases.
4. Why do we make new products more and more time-saving according to Paragraph 1 of this passage?
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph into Chinese.
