Netherlands, a country located in northwestern Europe, is also known as Holland. "Netherlands" means low- lying country. The name Holland was first given to one of the old parts, and is still used for two of its 12 provinces. The capital city is Amsterdam. The country is low- lying with large lakes and many rivers. The area that is not more than 3 feet above sea level covers more than half of the country. Along the coast, land was reclaimed(改造) from the sea. In some other areas, especially alongside many rivers, people turn the lakes into land. Wind power is widely used to produce electricity.
After World War Ⅱ, people were encouraged to move to other countries by the government. At that time, about 500, 000 people moved out of the country, but it is now still one of the world's most crowded countries. Although the population as a whole is "graying" rapidly, with a large number of people aged over65, Amsterdam has always been one of the liveliest centres of international youth culture. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else in the country, different ways of life are accepted because of the Dutch tradition.
In history, Holland was a country of sailing and trade because of its advantageous location. To the north and west is the North Sea, to the east is Germany and to the south is Belgium. The climate(气候) of the Netherlands is gentle, with warm winters, cool summers with west winds, and rainfall in every season.
Natural environment is very well protected. Sea birds fly in large numbers and sea animals live in peace. The most interesting animals are beavers which cut trees with their shining teeth and use the branches to keep their homes safe in the river.
