【英语奥林匹克竞赛】阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
People say that the world is getting smaller with the help of the Internet, the telephone and transportation. We can write emails to greet friends in other countries. It takes only 10 hours to fly from Beijing to London. The high speed of economic(经济的) growth and increasing amount of international collaboration(合作) has made people all over the world become closer to each other.
People from different countries are getting closer and forming a “global village”. In the village, people live as neighbours. They breathe the same air and grow up under the same sky.
But there are differences. First, the villagers don't all look the same. They have different skin colours. Because they are from different cultural groups, they often dress themselves differently. In Japan, women wear kimonos(和服). But in China, many women like wearing theqipaoorhanfu.
A country's existence is dependent(依赖于) on its culture and traditions. Every country has its own customs. People around the world celebrate different festivals.
People don't always live in peace either. There are wars and disagreements over land, water, energy and even ideas. That's why people set up the United Nations (UN) to help with these problems.
