Run, Terry, Run

  Terry Fox had cancer(癌). It left him with only one leg. Yet he became famous for running. He ran with an artificial (人造的) leg to raise(集资) money to fight cancer. His plan was to run all the way across Canada, from St. John's to Vancouver. He would cross the water by boat. Terry started out in St. John's in April, 1981, and made it to the halfway point.

  Terry had to give up the run at Thunder Bay when doctors found cancer in his lungs. He died on June 28, when he was 22 years old. He raised more money for the Canadian Cancer Society than he dreamed possible-over $24 million.

  This map shows the route that Terry Fox planned to run and the part of the route he was able to cover.

  To follow Terry's run on a map, you must be able to find directions (方向) . The four main directions on a map are north, south, east, and west. Between the four main directions are four “halfway” directions. They are northeast (NE), northwest (NW), southeast (SE) , southwest (SW) . These directions appear on the map's compass rose. Find the compass rose at the bottom of the map .

  Some maps use only an arrow pointing north. When you know which direction is north, you can figure out that south is below. West is to the left. East is to the right.
