Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies on 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 kilometres and six of the world’s 24 time areas 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 first language. About 25% of 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 done 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 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.
People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因纽特人), who came from Asia and settled (定居) 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 live in settlements. 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 many more centuries.

When my wife cleaned the floor of our home over the weekend, she suddenly realized that cleaning wasn’t just a household chore about removing dust (灰尘): it was about moral fiber (道德品质), ethics (道德) and virtues (美德).
“If I 66 about tiring work connected with cleaning the floor every day, how can I face the many other challenges easily?” she said.
In traditional teaching, one must first learn how to clean the ground, and how to properly greet people before he can 67 to learn other things. In Zen Buddism (禅宗), that idea is deeply remembered in Chinese life — cleaning the ground is also spiritual (心灵的) homework.
In the past, I often got angry about cleaning the floor, since dust seemed to exist all the time. I even 68 with my wife over how best to clean the floor, especially on Sunday, when my wife expressed her belief in cultivating (培养) one’s moral fiber through daily chores, 69 cleaning the floor.
In many other families floor cleaning is thought to be humble (粗陋的). Children are 70 taught to clean the floor as a way to refresh (提神) their minds.
My classmate wrote in the article about the Chinese boy who 71 graffiti (涂鸦) in Egypt, and I completely agreed with him that family education is part of the problem.
When a child carved (雕刻) graffiti into the cultural relics (遗物) — and this was forgiven if not encouraged by parents — it marks not only a failure of the child, but also a failure of his or her family education. In most Chinese families today, children are only taught to 72 tests of the school.
Rarely are they required to clean the floor (or do any other household chores), when they can actually reflect on life’s meanings.

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容，回答下列问题)(6分)(词数：268)
When he was born in 1958, Andrea Bocelli had poor eyesight. At twelve years old he became completely blind, when he was hit on the head while playing football. Bocelli does his best to ignore (忽视) his blindness. He says, “Italy’s traditions, as well as my parents, have taught me not to accept life’s difficulties in a passive (被动的) way, but rather to draw strength from them.”
Bocelli showed musical ability early in life, and won his first singing competition when he was twelve. He was discovered in 1992 by the Italian rock star Zucchero. Zucchero wrote a song and he wanted the famous opera singer Pavarotti to record it. But he had to look for a singer to make a demonstration (示范) tape of the song. Bocelli sang for him. Pavarotti heard the tape and thought that Bocelli sang as well as himself.
Bocelli became famous the following year, when he performed many concerts with Zucchero. In 1994, Bocelli recorded his first CD and made his first appearance in an opera, Macbeth. He began to try other kinds of music and became internationally known in 1996, when he recorded Time to Say Goodbye with singer Sarah Brightman.
Bocelli starred (主演) in many famous operas in 1998. He has also made many recordings of complete operas and selected songs from operas. Although Bocellli is certainly popular, critics (评论家) say that his voice is not as strong or expressive (有表现力的) as it should be. He has been criticized (批评) because he uses microphones during performances. Opera singers do not usually need them.
