The first people in Canada crossed the Bering Straits from Asia. In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals, walruses and whales. They also hunted caribou. On the west coast people hunted deer, bear and beaver. They also fished. On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo. In the east people grew crops of beans, squash, maize and sunflower seeds.
The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings. In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land. However he sailed away without landing. In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land, which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada). However Eriksson did not stay permanently. Later the Vikings did establish a colony in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict(冲突) with the natives.
However after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century. In 1497 the English king Henry VII sent an Italian named Jean Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.
Then in 1534 and in 1535-36 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada. On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrence's Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River, which he named after the saint.
However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century. In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635) sailed up the St Lawrenc e River. In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia). In 1608 de Champlain founded Quebec. (The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river). In 1642 the French founded Montreal. The new colony in Canada was called New France. By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000. By 1740 it was 48,000.

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often．It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are．
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes．Everything else seems unclear．Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted．Then people who are far-sighted endure just the opposite problem．They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s lengt h．If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too．
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape．They have what is called astigmatism（散光）．This, too, can be corrected by glasses．Some people’s eyes become clou dy because of cataracts（白内障）．Long ago these people often became blind．Now however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove then．
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances．Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle（角度）．To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object our of your other eye．You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed．The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is．People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes．
66．We should take good care of our eyes ．
A．only when we can see well
B．only when we cannot see perfectly
C. only when we are near-sighted or far-sighted
D．even if we can see well or perfectly
67．When things far away seem unclear, one is probably ．
A.near-sighted
B.far-sighted
C.astigmatic
D. suffering from cataracts 68．The underlined word endure in the second paragraph probably means ．A．experience B．imagine C．suffer from D．recover from 69．Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for ．A．seeing at night B．seeing objects far away
C．looking over a wide area D．judging distances
70．People who suffer from astigmatism have ．
A．one eye bigger than the other
B．eyes that are not exactly the right shape
C．a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation
D．an eye difficult that cannot be corrected by glasses．

The frightening thing is he still hasn’t finished—shire horses aren’t fully grown until they’re about six or seven .”
Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas , possibly even fetching a record price to match his height . She is unwilling to sell , but to fund the high cost of keeping him she needs to put him to work . “ He needs a job . It’s very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia .
