     You have stopped to buy food on your drive across Canada. You pick up a can of peas.
On one side, the label(標簽) says "peas" . On the other, it says "petit pois". By law food labels
and many other printed notices in Canada must be in two languages---English and French.
     The reason is simple: many Canadians speak English but not French. Others speak French
but not English. By requiring that label be printed in both languages, Canada is trying to ease
the problems of living in a bilingual society.
     English is the dominant (important) language in most of Canada. In all provinces but Quebec,
most of the people speak English. Quebec was the center of French settlement in colonial
(殖民地的) times, and most of its people are descendants (后裔) of French settlers. Today
nearly two out of three people in Quebec speak only French. Communities of French-speaking
people also live in other provinces, especially in the Maritime Provinces.
     French Canadians are bound (約束) together not only by language but also by religion. Like
their French ancestors (祖先), most are Roman Catholics. Most English-speaking Canadians are
Protestants.
1. Why does the food label must be printed in two languages in Canada? 
A. Because the Canadians know both English and French.
B. Because the Canadians know either English or French.
C. Because many Canadians like French besides English.
D. In order to make the English and the French understand it easily
2. What's the meaning of the underlined word "bilingual" in the second paragraph ?
A. developed.    
B. rich.    
C. two languages.    
D. poor.
3. Which statement is correct according to the passage? 
A. Today all the people in Quebec don't only speak French.
B. People in all the provinces in Canada speak English besides Quebec.
C. Most English-speaking Canadians are Catholics.
D. French Canadians are bound together not by language but by religion.

4. This passage mainly tells us ___________. 

A. food labels in Canada must be in two languages
B. Quebec is the only province where French is spoken
C. Canada is a bilingual nation
D. English is the dominant language in most of Canada

    閱讀理解

      The early 1900s were very different from today.Toys, though they have evolved in many ways, were still the delight of children everywhere.

      Theodore Roosevelt’s Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear.” In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president’s nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.

      In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel, motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was A.C.Gilbert, a medical doctor.

      Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.

      Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.

      The following year, an architect’s son named John Lloyd Wright, invented Lincoln Logs, which were interlocked to make structures.

      Two years after Mickey Mouse was created, stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.

      The yo-yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929.

      The View-Master, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3-D images from Disney movies and television programs.

      Finally, in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught on as a toy.

      The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isn’t it interesting to know that if it hadn’t been for all these creative people, most of the games you know today would never have been?
