1.（2015上）Along a rugged, wide North Sea beach here on a recent day, children formed teams of eight to 10, taking their places beside mounds of sand carefully cordoned by tape. They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag. Then they watched the sea invade and devour their work,seeing whose castle could withstand the tide longest. The last standing flag won.This was no ordinary day at the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition for schoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels in a country of precarious geography that has provided lessons for the world about water management, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent.Fifty-five percent of the Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone.Yet thanks to its renowned expertise and large water management budget (about 1.25 percent of its GDP), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since a flooding disaster in 1953.Experts here say that they now worry that the famed Dutch water management system actually works too well and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation's success in staying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as much as 4 feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working to make real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shape their lives in adulthood and old age.“Everything works so smoothly that people don't realize anymore that they are taking a risk in developing urban areas in low-lying areas,” said Raimond Hafkenscheid, the lead organizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry.Before the competition, the children, aged six to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and water management. Volunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civil engineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.A recently released report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on water management in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap” among Dutch citizens. The finding did much to get the sand castle contest off the ground.

The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Māori culture. More recently American,Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.Even though the majority of the population now lives in cities, much of New Zealand's art,literature, film and humor has rural themes.New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country and rock and roll, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Māori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient Southeast Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique “monotonous” and “doleful” sound.The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgement.New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming,along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country's diverse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big-budget movies in New Zealand.Our distinctive culture is the core to what makes New Zealand a great country to live in.Cultural expression, engagement and understanding are fundamental to a vibrant and healthy society and help define what it is to be a New Zealander.Māori culture makes New Zealand unique in a globalized world and is central to our sense of country, identifying us as a nation. Active participation by Māori in distinct Māori activity will ensure Māori culture is protected and flourishes.The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is the government's leading advisor on cultural matters. It funds, monitors and supports a range of cultural agencies, and it delivers a range of high-quality cultural products and services.The ministry provides advice to the government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector.

Our work prioritizes cultural outcomes and supports educational, economic and social outcomes linking with the work of a range of other government agencies.Culture is produced by creative and innovative individuals, groups and organizations.The activities, goods and services they create，produce and distribute have a value which is cultural，social and economic.
