Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the world’s 24 time areas (时区) as well.
There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of the Canadians speak French. In one province of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial(非官方的) language in Canada.
Canada’s climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperatures that can reach over 30℃ regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. As the cold northern climate, only one-fifth of the land is suitable for farming.
As it is known to all, Canada has one-third of the world’s supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south. And there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.
People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因纽特人), who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now, they seldom move. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for more centuries.

放得下，才能拿得起
①后汉时，有一个叫孟敏的人。一天，他扛着瓦罐去集市，一不小心，瓦罐摔落在地，他头也没回，径直向前走去，旁观者无不奇怪。有人问他为什么不回头看看，孟敏说：“瓦罐从肩上掉下去肯定会摔碎，我看它又有何用。我前面还有更重要的事要做。”这个故事告诉我们：“放下”，是为了更好地“拿起”。
②前几天去医院看望一位生病的朋友，我让护士拿一支体温计来。护士答应后十多分钟却还不见身影，我不免有些生气，就按了床头的铃。护士来了。见其空着手，我更加恼火，就大声地呵斥护士。而朋友却始终哼着小曲，一副满不在意的样子说：“为了这样的小事生气，你的生活还会快乐吗？你管不住别人的错误，但是你管得住自己是否快乐。”我很佩服他这种心态。[甲]生活中，我们常常因为别人无意中的一个小错而大动肝火，不仅破坏了与他人的关系。也让自己陷入不快乐的境地。所以说放下别人的过错，有利于自己保持快乐。
③工作中，人们经常会出现分歧，我觉得放下一时的分歧，有利于获得最终的双赢。一次，在福特公司技术研究所内部，大家因汽车内燃机是采用“水冷”还是“气冷”而产生了分歧。“气冷”的支持者福特，与支持“水冷”的几位主要技术人员发生了激烈的争论。矛盾越来越深，几名主要技术人员甚至打算退出福特公司。后来，在副总经理的提醒下，福特认识到“水冷”的优势，也意识到[乙]于是同意他们搞“水冷”引擎的设想。最终几名技术人员开发出了更适合市场需求的产品，使公司产品销量大增，他们也因此成为了业界的佼佼者。    
④对于位高权重者来说，放下个人的恩怨与仇恨，有利于国家的发展。蔺相如“完璧归赵”保全了赵国的利益，“渑池相会”维护了赵王的尊严，因而被封为上卿，位居廉颇之上。廉颇居功自傲，屡次挑衅。蔺相如深知将相不和，赵国危矣![丙]因此对廉颇一让再让，终使廉颇幡然悔悟，与相如合力辅佐赵王，让赵国在战乱频仍之际仍能保有一席之地。李世民称帝后，面对曾经强烈反对过他的魏征，不计前嫌重用了他，并一再谅解他因直谏给自己带来的难堪，最终成就了中国历史上“贞观之治”的辉煌。蔺相如和唐太宗“放下”的是个人的面子，“拿起”的则是国家的前途!正是因为他们识大体、顾大局的“放下”，
才换来了朝臣一心、君臣和睦地致力于国事，最终成就了国家的安定与富强。
⑤“放得下”方能“拿得起”，我想告诉那些在做人做事方面“放不下”的人，当放则放，你的人生之路才会走得更远、更精彩!
