 VI. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
 New Zealand is a small country in the southern Pacific Ocean. There are two main islands, the North Island 
 and the South Island, as well as many smaller islands. New Zealand is 268,000 square kilometres, about the 
 same size as the United Kingdom.
 Maori people arrived from the Pacific in the 10th century, and by the 12th century there were many Maori 
 settlements along the coasts of New Zealand. The Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa, which means 
 ‘the land of the long white cloud’. Seven hundred years later, large numbers of Europeans started to settle in 
 New Zealand. According to Government figures, the population of New Zealand in 2015 was over four 
 million, and of these, about 75 percent lived in the North Island.
 There are four main cities. Auckland, in the north, is the largest city with a population of over one million 
 people. Auckland's population includes many different nationalities. For example, there are large groups of 
 European, Maori, Pacific Island, Chinese and Indian people. Together with other smaller groups, they make 
 Auckland an interesting and exciting place to live.
 Although Wellington is the capital, the centre of government, it is smaller and quieter than Auckland with a 
 population of 350,000. The main cities in the South Island are Christchurch, known as the Garden City, and 
 Dunedin, which is often compared to a small Scottish city.
