Natural resources in Canada

Canada is very rich in natural resources.It has vast amounts of fuel — oil, gas, coal, uranium for nuclear power, water for hydroelectricity —and these are very important sources of Canadian wealth.The energy resources are mainly located in the west of Canada, in the sparsely populated, harsh terrain (地形).This gives rise to conflict between the east and the west.The western resource-prod ucing provinces hate having their wealth carried off to “benefit” the manufacturing eastern provinces.

Agriculture in Canada

Canada does not have favourable conditions for farming because of the quality of land, terrain and climate.Despite the difficulties, agriculture remains important to Canadian economy.The major agriculture region is the Prairie Provinces, which specialize in wheat and cereal production, feeding stock and cattle.Farms tend to be very large.However, agriculture is not an important part of Canadian economy as it used to be.It has become cheaper to import foodstuffs than to produce such items domestically (家庭式地).

Manufacturing industries in Canada

Although Canada remains mainly an exporter of raw resources and an importer of manufactured goods, it does have a variety of industries which produce paper, technological equipment,automobiles, food, clothing and other goods. In terms of research and development of advanced technology, Canada is known for its adoption of nuclear technology for peaceful means, hydroelectricity production, and telecommunications. It also has an innovative aerospace industry.

Service industries in Canada

As is the case in other industrialized countries, more Canadians (over 70%) work in service industries than in manufacturing. The service sector of the Canadian economy includes things like banking, health care,construction, communication, education, tourism and government. Export of services is an important part of Canadian economy, though it is still not strong enough to compete with US firms.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about the natural resources in Canada?

A.Canada is rich in energy resources.

B.West Canada is rich in resources but less in population.

C.Canadian government's energy policy satisfies all the people.

D.Most population live in the east of Canada.

2.Which of the following is probably less important in Canadian economy?

A.Agriculture.

B.Manufacturing industries.

C.Service industries.

D.Natural resources.

3.Service industries in Canada employ the most workers in Canada, as is the same with ________.

A.India B.Japan

C.China D.North Korea

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A.The Canadian Population

B.The Canadian Industry

C.The Farming in Canada

D.The Canadian Economy

KidZui is a new browser (浏览器) and online service that lets kids aged 3 to 12 explore more than 500,000 websites, pictures and videos. The idea for KidZui came about when one of the founders, Vidar Vignission, saw how difficult it was for his children to enjoy the power and promise of the Internet in a safe way. Together with Cliff Boro and Thomas Broadhead, they decided to do something.

KidZui was first tested by 8,000 kids and their parents. Lisa Rebena, a parent whose child tested KidZui, said, “My 4-year-old daughter gets into KidZui, reads news and watches videos all by herself, generally doing what she pleases. I'm much more relaxed now when my daughter is on the computer.”

Content (内容) in KidZui has been reviewed by a team of more than 200 trained teachers and parents. They make sure that kids see content that is proper for their age in terms of developmental level and reading ability. New websites, pictures and videos are added to KidZui every day. When a young user tries to watch a video outside of KidZui, it will be reviewed and, if proper, added —often within a matter of hours.

Besides, parents can change the content available, add and take out some websites and see what their kids are viewing online. And KidZui sends out a weekly report of their kids' recent searches and interests so that parents can plan family activities around their kids' interests. After a 30-day free trial (试用) period, parents who sign up can take advantage of our special rates of $4.95 per month or $49.95 per year, a 50 percent discount (折扣) from standard rates of $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year.

A.She has high hopes for it.

Frederick William Ⅰ,the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed eviden ce. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enqu iry. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gat her information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had liv ed. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the d eaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 a nd 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame. Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. H e immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle f rom the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed d own. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deat hs that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away f rom Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it deliver ed to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drin king the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with ce rtainty that polluted water carried the virus.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national
