Canada: Off the Beaten Track — Three to See

Rocky Mountains

The Rockies run along the Alberta-British Columbia border and are inside two huge national parks — Banff to the south and Jasper to the north. Banff was Canada’s first wildlife reserve and these days the town of Banff is the most popular tourist destination in the country. But Jasper National Park is larger, wilder, and less well-explored. Between the parks of Banff and Jasper is the Columbia Icefield, a huge bowl of ice made up of about thirty glaciers. If you don’t like ice, the Rockies offer wildlife walks, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, and plenty of places to stay. Accommodation costs are usually lower at the Jasper end of this superb mountain playground.

Lunenburg

Lunenburg is south from Halifax, along a foggy coast of rocky seas, fishing villages, and historic towns. It is a beautiful little shipbuilding town and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fishing has always been big in Lunenburg: most of Atlantic Canada’s deep-sea fishing boats leave from here, and North America’s biggest fish-processing factory is located in the town. Lunenburg still has many wooden buildings and as a result feels like an 18th century British colonial（殖民时期的）town. You can visit the town’s Fisheries Museum or just wander around, looking at the wooden houses in the old streets — and of course have a dinner of seafood.

Churchill

One of the few places in the north that is “easy” to get to, Churchill is a 1.5-day train journey from Winnipeg. Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more important. Although it is freezing, many visitors come to see the polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, and if they are lucky, the Northern Lights. Churchill calls itself the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals’ migration route, and the cute but deadly white bears sometimes wander into the town. Tours to see the bears from September to November are the most popular attraction.

21.Which of the following was Canada’s first wildlife reserve?

A.Banff. B.Jasper.

C.Halifax. D.Winnipeg.

22.What do we know about Lunenburg’s fish-processing factory?

A.It is now a museum. B.It is a wooden building.

C.It was built in the 18th century. D.It is the largest in North America.

23.What do most visitors to Churchill want to see?

A.Whales. B.Polar bears.

C.Arctic foxes. D.The Northern Light.

B

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat frustrated, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… “PAID IN FULL”.

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Sometimes we don’t realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

24.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.A Kind Father. B.A Key of a Car.

C.A leather-bound Bible. D.An Unforgettable Graduation Ceremony.

25.What does the underlined word “frustrated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Disappointed. B.Unconcerned. C.Puzzled. D.Bored.

26.What does the last paragraph want to tell us?

A.There is no fence for ill fortune.

B.Good fortune favors the brave and courageous.

C.We must not look only at the surface of things.

D.A strong man will struggle with the storms of fate.

27.From the passage, we can learn that _________.

A.the young man accepted the gift at first

B.the young man regretted what he’d done to his father

C.the young man accompanied his father for a long time

D.the young man was successful in business with the help of his father

C

  Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all children’s education, according to new research.

Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling University’s school of education, says that “enforced silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”—deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment—can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behavior.

It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.

A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.

Dr. Lees said, “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self- confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”

Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.

Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.

28.According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” ＿＿

A.is an effective way of punishment B.does not make much sense in class

C.can improve pupils’ confidence D.makes pupils more creative

29.The underlined word “suppress” in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.

A.prevent B.improve

C.apply D.reveal

30.What can be inferred from the research on school settings?

A.Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms.

B.Silence makes a great difference to pupils.

C.Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.

D.Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.

31.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Arranging classroom settings benefits studies

B.Achieving silence is beneficial for people

C.Using enforced silence is effective punishment

D.Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance

D

To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don’t question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!

Brilliant minds can intimidate up﹣and﹣coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.

I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers﹣adults in general﹣were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind’s independence was first stimulated in the classroom.

Astern,65﹣year﹣old elementary﹣school science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day, however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.

Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn’t given me the whole story. I went to the library， did some research and learned of the light﹣as﹣a﹣wave versus light﹣as﹣a﹣particle debate. I read about Einstein’s discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox （悖论） that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.

Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to re﹣examine when necessary.

Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future？ At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years﹣maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.

32.In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that   .

A.he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all time

B.huge influence of great thinkers may block human thought

C.advancements are made when thinkers question theories

D.great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them

33.What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A.Frighten.

B.Encourage.

C.Strength.

D.Persuade.

34.We can conclude from the last paragraph that   .

A.the author is not quite sure about his future

B.we human beings don’t dare to predict future

C.theory of black holes will change in two years

D.questioning is necessary to promote advancement

35.What does the passage mainly talk about？

A.Following rules.

B.Challenging yourself.

C.Questioning giants.

D.Predicting future.

Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. “We talk with our mouth, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice, our whole body, ”says psychologist Paul Ekman.

　36　“When you can‘read’what others are saying unconsciously, ”says Marilyn Maple, an educator at a university, “you can deal with things—at work and at home before they become problems. ”

　　By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively. Here is how:

·　37　Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move. When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet.

·Work on your handshake. 　38　The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry, with strong but not too much pressure.

·Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone. You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously. But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 　39   

·Be yourself. Nonverbal messages come from deep inside you, from your own sense of self-respect. If you are comfortable with yourself, it shows. 　40　They always give others a deep impression.

A. Use hand gestures carefully.

B. Pay attention to your body-talk.

C. A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.

D. People who know who they are have a relaxed way of talking and moving.

E. In the business world, the handshake shows important messages about power.

F. Understanding body language is one of the most useful skills you can develop.

G. To avoid this problem, change your focus so that you look at somewhere between the eyes and the chin.

We students have been asking about our opinions on opening iPad classrooms. I am in the favor of this plan for the following reason. To begin with, everyone learns different and everyone can get an iPad with many materials that fits his level and learning style. Moreover, getting online, students can talk teachers and classmates easily. We can learn a lot much conveniently than ever. Besides, paper is no longer a necessity, but it is environmentally﹣friendly to open iPad classrooms. Most importantly, students are interesting in this new way of learning. I hope our school can take their idea into consideration and I am looking forward to attending an iPad class.
