Europe attracts visitors from around the world. They come to see its historic landmarks, world-class art museums, and great natural beauty. Peninsulas (半岛) and islands Europe is considered a separate continent. But it‘s actually a peninsula － a piece of land that juts(突出，伸出) out from a mainland into water. Europe is a giant peninsula sticking west out of Asia, the mainland. Europe has many smaller peninsulas of its own. Greece and Italy are peninsulas. Spain and Portugal share another peninsula called Iberia. In the north, Denmark occupies the small peninsula of Jutland. Sweden and Norway occupy (占据) the larger Scandinavian Peninsula. Europe also includes many islands, such as Great Britain, Ireland, Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, and Crete. All of these islands and peninsulas give Europe a long coastline and many harbors, inlets (水湾), and seaports. A crowded continent Europe is the second smallest of the world's seven continents. Only Australia is even smaller. Europe is about the same size as the United States. Yet it has almost three times as many people. About 729 million people live in Europe. That makes it the most crowded of all the continents. Europe is divided into more than 40 countries, and Europeans speak more than 60 languages. The rise of Europe After the Roman Empire began to break apart in the AD 300s, Europe entered a period called the Middle Ages. Many small kingdoms arose to take the place of Roman rule. Struggles for power between kings and other nobles frequently broke the peace. Gradually, the power of the kings increased. They built strong kingdoms across Europe, with powerful armies and navies to defend themselves. Meanwhile, Europeans began questioning their traditional beliefs. They questioned the power of the Catholic (天主教的) Church. Great progress was made in science and arts. In the 1700s and 1800s, Europeans invented new power－driven machines for making goods. Big factories emerged. This was called industrialization. It made Europeans rich and powerful. By the late 20th century, European countries had given up most of their remaining overseas colonies. Yet Europe remains a wealthy and powerful place. Today, as in centuries past, Europe is a world leader in art, science, industry, and learning.Do you know the landmarks‘ names in the pictures?
