Canada is one of the few     1     in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces (省) in the country but only one of these —Quebec( 魁北克 ) is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered and governed the rest.           Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official language ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two      2      television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.          The same goes    3     traffic signs and menus, for example, Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places     4     you'll see traffic signs in French. And in restaurants, it's     5     impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must,     6     law, have labels and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can     7     to complete a special French course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.

In today’s society, everyone is busy and running at a fast pace(步调) every day. We feel our time is valuable and needs to be used well. We need cheap meal ideas that can help us save time and money and still provide a healthy and nutritious (有营养的) dinner for us and our family.

The fast food makers know we have little time and that the idea of cooking dinner after a long day at work is not something we look forward to. So the fast food makers offer us cheap food that requires no cooking, no cleaning, and only 25 minutes to pick up.

But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious, so it’s not the healthiest choice to consider. There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.

The first cheap meal idea is one dish which includes meat, vegetables and rice. This is not only a cheap meal idea, but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20 minutes.

You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs for the family in about 30 minutes. If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner, consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through a whole day.

Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni and cheese with meat” dish, which only takes around 20 minutes to cook.

If you are interested in these cheap meal ideas, you’re welcome to visit our website for details. When you fix one of these or other cheap meal ideas at home, you are taking time out of your busy day to treat yourself and your family in a special way.

A person has been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give him a transfusion (输血) because he has lost much blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for him. If the blood is too different from his own, the transfusion can kill him.
There are four basic blood groups: A, B, AB and O. A single test can tell us a person’s blood group. Everybody is born with one of these four blood groups. People’s blood group, like hair colour, is inherited (继承) from parents.
Because the substances contained in each group are different, transfusion must be given carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can be given to any other group, so it is often called the universal donor. On the contrary, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (接受者). However, before being given the transfusion, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad results of the transfusion.
There is a relationship between our blood groups and our nationalities. Among the Europeans, about 42 percent are blood group A while 45 percent are blood group O. The rarest is blood group AB. However, some American Indian groups are nearly 100 percent blood group O.

A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.

Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign , they must not go at more than thirty kilometers can hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number two is a sign that we're near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast. Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number seven has the word “ SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “ P ” on it. The letter “ P ” means “ Parking ”. At some places, there're the signs “ No parking ” or “ No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的) warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(温室气体). This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料) in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.
Global warming may be a big problem, but we can all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones that run on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try one of these top ideas:
(1) Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.
(2) Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.
(3) Don’t throw away your rubbish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐烂) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth.
【小题1】If we _____, we may make global warming worse.

A．use less electricity	B．drive a car on sunlight
C．plant trees	D．throw away rubbish

【小题2】We may use more electricity by______.

A．turning off lights	B．shutting down computers
C．turning up CD players	D．turning off TV

【小题3】______ will make global warming worse.

A．Methane

B．Cans

C．Newspapers

D．Bottles

【小题4】Using less electricity does good to global warming because_______.

A．the less electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced

B．the more electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced

C．more electricity is used, less greenhouse gases are produced

D．less electricity is used, more greenhouse gases are produced

【小题5】Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming.

B．When cars burn fossil fuels, they produce greenhouse gases.

C．When trees grow, they send carbon dioxide into the air.

D．By planting more trees, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air.
