吉林省长春市外国语学校2016-2017学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷
What do you know about the Northern European country of Finland(芬兰)? You may have heard of the Northern Lights(极光)and Nokia? Today Finland is also a world leader in making mobile games. The popular games Angry Birds and Clash of clans(部落冲突)are both from Finnish companies.
Finland is not a very big country. How can it make so many world-class games?
Innovation(改革,创新)might be the first reason. Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Finland this month. He spoke very highly of the innovation of the country. Finland gives money to help start-up companies. It even builds technology bases for them. There are now around 290 game companies in Finland.
Finnish mobile games also stand out(突出,超群) because of the country's special Northern European art style. The style is mainly about being simple. It's a tradition of Finnish design. You many also see it in clothes, furniture and even buildings. In the game Angry Birds, the birds and pigs look very simple but cute at the same time. They easily interest the players.
