After everyone giggled and laughed happily for a while, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, twisted his head out of the window, as if he had discovered a new continent, and suddenly pointed to a big mountain in the distance of the highway, and asked the tour guide Xiao Luo in surprise:

"Xiao Luo, what kind of mountain is that in the distance? It's tall and big, it's continuous, at least a few hundred kilometers, right? At the foot of the mountain, there are patches of clear water! On the mountainside of the mountain, there is a lush forest; The summit of the mountain, but the snow is white! Three levels, three colors, three ecology! This, this is simply the most natural and beautiful natural scenery in the world! ”

"Mr. Liu, you are right! That mountain is the world-famous Alps! ”

After listening to Mr. Liu's inquiry, the tour guide Xiao Luo simply picked up the microphone and introduced to everyone:

"The Alps are located in the south-central part of Europe. It covers the northern part of Italy, the southeastern part of France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, all of Slovenia, and the southern part of Germany. ”

"Oh, I said, how could it be so pretty! It turns out that this is the long-admired Alps! Uh, Ronaldo, since it's the Alps, can you tell us about it? ”

"Absolutely!"

The tour guide smiled happily and said:

"Just now, everyone just finished eating the chocolate that Zhang Meinu bought, and while your mouths are sweet, I will tell you a detailed introduction to the Alps!

The Alps stretch south from the Atlas in North Africa, through southern Europe and South Asia, and into the Himalayas; At the same time, it stretches from the subtropical Mediterranean coast, from the vicinity of Nice in France, to the north to Lake Geneva; It then stretches northeast to Vienna on the Danube.

In fact, it is the largest mountain glacier center in Europe!

In the Alps, there is an ice sheet up to 1 km thick!

All types of glacial landforms in the world are well developed here. And the ice-eroded landform is particularly typical!

Throughout the Alps, there are more than 1,200 modern glaciers with a total area of about 4,000 square kilometers.

The Alps are the main source of drinking water, irrigation and hydroelectric power for Europeans.

The Alps, although they occupy only 11 percent of the continent, provide more than 90 percent of Europe's water sources;

In the river basins of the Alps, there are more than 500 hydroelectric power plants with a capacity of more than 2,900 kilowatts! ”

"Ouch, I didn't expect the Alps to be so important to Europe? Is it possible to say that without the Alps, there would be no Europe? ”

After hearing the tour guide say that the Alps provide more than 90% of Europe's water sources, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, couldn't help but interject again.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, you are very good at summarizing problems!"

The tour guide Xiao Luo nodded approvingly to Mr. Liu and said:

"You are absolutely right, without the Alps, there would be no prosperity in Europe!

Therefore, many Europeans affectionately refer to the Alps as the mother mountain of Europe.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about the location of the Alps.

The Alps are located between temperate and subtropical:

Its vegetation shows obvious vertical changes, which can be divided into three climatic zones: subtropical evergreen sclerophyll forest zone, forest zone, and alpine meadow zone.

Above the alpine meadow belt, there are mostly bare rocks and snow-capped peaks.

The Alps are one of the most famous scenic and tourist destinations in the world!

At the same time, it is also known as the palace of nature and the real geomorphological exhibition hall.

Numerous lakes of all sizes have formed around this stunning mountain range thanks to the Alpine glaciers.

The largest of the lakes is Lake Léman, but the larger lakes are Lake Four-Forest, Lake Zurich, Lake Constance, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como.

In fact, as you already know, the Alps are also the mecca of ice and snow sports in the world, and a paradise for adventurers.

The mountain glaciers here present a polar scenery, and it is a resort for mountaineering, skiing, and tourism.

In our China, there is a famous saying called 'outstanding people'!

In the Alps, you can change the Chinese saying to 'the spirit of the earth'.

Why?

Because, in this beautiful land, the great composers Mozart, Beethoven, Johann Strauss the Elder, Johann Strauss the Younger, as well as Haydn, Schubert and other world celebrities were born.

Of course, it has also given birth to the world's greatest people through the ages! For example, Marx, Engels, etc. ”

"Hey, wait! Xiao Luo, what did you just say? Were Marx and Engels also born here? ”

Hearing the tour guide Xiao Luo talk about Marx and Engels, Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, was very surprised, so he interjected and asked.

"That's right! Marx and Engels were both Europeans, and both Germans. It can be said that their ancestors have grown up drinking Alpine water for generations! The immortal Marxist theory they founded was watered with the water of the Alps! ”

"Oh, Xiao Luo, I can't imagine that you are familiar with and proficient in the human geography of Western Europe, the great men of the world, and the social customs of Western Europe! No matter what aspect of the content is mentioned, you can export it into chapters and roll melons well, which is so admirable! ”

When Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, listened to the tour guide's introduction to the situation in the Alps, he was like a few treasures, and he didn't even burp in the middle; Especially when talking about Marx and Engels, he also showed a kind of sincere admiration and praise! He couldn't help but praise the tour guide from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Liu, for the compliment. This is also called 'knocking on the gong to sell sugar, each cooked in one line', right? ”

Xiao Luo heard that Mr. Liu was praising himself, so he smiled at him casually and naturally:

"Since I have eaten the bowl of rice as a tour guide, I must be familiar with the knowledge of the tour guide, the human geography of the countries and places I guide, and the main characteristics of each scenic spot. Otherwise, you're going to fire my squid!" ”

"Uh, no, it can't be, we can't fire your squid! And, I'm sure no one will fire your squid! Didn't I make an appointment with you a long time ago? After you graduate from graduate school, you will immediately go to our company! I'm going to welcome you in an eight-seater sedan chair! Moreover, I have to raise the company's gate by one meter in advance! ”

Mr. Liu also responded to the tour guide Xiao Luo in a joking tone, and took the opportunity to mention again the agreement to ask the tour guide to work in his company after graduation.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your favor to me! If there is a fate, I will definitely go to your company to apply for a job! At that time, don't say you don't know me! ”

Xiao Luo continued to answer Mr. Liu's gracious appointment in a joking tone.

"It's okay, Xiao Luo, if Mr. Liu doesn't know you, you will go to my company immediately!"

After listening to Xiao Luo's joke with Mr. Liu, a fellow surnamed Li of Mr. Liu immediately intervened to join in the fun.

"What, did Mr. Li also open a company?"

After Xiao Luo listened to Mr. Liu's interjection, he immediately turned his face and asked him.

"Not only did he open a company, but I also opened a company! Don't think that only Mr. Liu opened the company. In this car, there may be many people who have opened a company! What is it called? This is called a real person not showing his face! ”

At this time, Xiao Zhang, another fellow of Mr. Liu, also interjected and joked:

"After you graduate, as long as Mr. Liu doesn't recognize you, I will be the first to invite you!"

"Yes, if Mr. Liu doesn't know you, some companies in China hire you!"

As the tour guide laughed with several Shandong men, several other fellow travelers in the car also joked.

After giggling and laughing for a while, everyone's interest in the conversation gradually faded.

In the rhythmic and steady shaking of the car, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment began to doze off again.
