You hear of family members long ago and by hearing about their stories, you can find timeless wisdom that can apply to your own life. Ill never forget the story my mom told me about Grandma. Grandma cooked for a crew of 24 farmhands so most of her days were taken up cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a bunch of (一群) loud complaining men coming in from hunting or farming. She took care of five children as well so her house was a busy little place, but where you would find Grandma the most would be in front of her stove, stirring (搅拌) a pot of something. The kids would run in and shed give them a hug and then shed go back to stirring. The men would come in and clean up all the biscuits and bacon and then shed start on the next meal, once again standing and stirring at the stove. Theyd tell her how wonderful her food was and then pour out their troubles to her as she listened and stirred. One time Ruth watched as the farmhands ate quickly and went back out to work, hearing all of them grumbling about their lives. Then one by one the children came in to tell Grandma their own worries. She would smile, give them some kind of advice, and keep stirring. Ruth watched sitting at the table and when everyone left she said,“ Mother. How can you just sit there and stir? Everyone tells you how bad their life is and you just smile and stir? Why dont you just tell them that youve had enough and you cant take anymore? Do something Stop stirring!”Grandma looked up at Ruth and smiled and kept stirring. “Ruth, dont you know that the stirring is very important? You see, when Im stirring Im putting all my thoughts and dreams into that pot. As everyone comes in and tells me about their life I put the love and positive thoughts into my pot and stir. Then when they eat it they have been given a pot full o hope. If we have any kind of problems I envision (想象) a solution and put it in my pot and stir. My stirring is what keeps me focused on what is good in the world. So instead of worrying about all that is around me I keep stirring knowing that all is well.”1.

Toronto is a popular city, attracting thousands of tourists from all over the world each year. It is the largest city in Canada, with a population of over 4 million, located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the smallest of the great Lakes. It tends to be hot in the summer with frequent rain storms, and very cold in the winter, with temperatures well below freezing and plenty of snow. But there is always something to do or see, no matter when you visit the city. Listed here are three tours, showing just a few of the of the many things you can do while on holiday in “Hogtown”!.Tour #1: St. Lawrence MarketThe Market has been in continuous operation at this location since 1803. You can get there by taking the Church Street Bus, or the King street car. Its open Tuesday to Saturday, and is home to 55 market stalls selling everything from meats and fish to baked goods. Its also a great place to pick up a quick bite. On the lower level of the St. Lawrence market there are food stalls where you can choose from a wide variety of Italian, Greek and other ethnic dishes as well as regular North American food. The Market also features the St. Lawrence Farmers Market with over 49 Ontario farmers every Saturday year round. Also, each Sunday an Antique market is held. You can sometimes find something very nice if you get there early. Tour #2: YorkvilleTake the subway and get off at Bay, and you are in Yorkville! Located in the heart of Toronto, Yorkville offers some of the best fashion shopping experiences in town. If famous labels 1 make your heart race, this is the place to go, but make sure you have plenty of time to shop and lots of money in your wallet. Of course high fashion is not the only attraction here. Yorkville is home to fine restaurants and boutiques, as well as world class galleries to explore.Tour #3: The BeachesThe beaches are a relaxing place close to the city, just east of downtown. To get there take the Queen streetcar or the Woodbine Bus, both of which will drop you off one block from the beach. The beaches are a favorite place to roller blade, bike or just take a relaxing stroll along the boardwalk that extends along the lake. You can also browse the many boutiques and eateries along Queen Street East.

The whole country stops to watch, either in the city itself or on the television. It is estimated that each year 700,000 visitors come to watch from all over the world.“Samba” schoolsThe music played throughout the carnival procession is called the “samba”. Many participants belong to “samba” schools where they learn to dance and play the music which is so popular throughout Brazil. There are about 30 “samba” schools with thousands of members. They perform for four entire nights in a huge arena called the “Sambadrome”. The schools take part in an official competition and the best of them is awarded a prize. Each school is assessed on its costumes, the theme of its performance and the quality of the music. Some “samba” schools hold street parties and perform in their local areas because many people cannot afford to buy a ticket for the official competition.From year to year.Because it is such a huge event, planning for the carnival begins many months in advance. In fact, it is true to say that as soon as one carnival finishes, rehearsals and preparations for the next one begin. Much of this work is done in “Samba City”, which consists of enormous buildings where most of the equipment and costumes are prepared.The stars of the showEach school is led by a queen followed by hundreds of drummers and brightly decorated carnival vehicles. The Carnival Queens are the biggest stars and they are chosen from amongst the most beautiful women in each community. As well as beauty, the queen has to be very fit to lead her group of drummers on the slow procession through the streets of Rio.“Blocos” parades“Blocos” parades have become an important feature of Rios carnival in addition to the “samba” schools. These parades are less formal and include groups of musicians from the same neighborhood who just want to sing, dance and have a good time. Today, they number more than 100 and the groups increase each year. They all dress in costumes or T-shirts with special themes or logos. Before the show they gather in a square, then parade through sections of the city, before performing near to the beach. Some of them have a particular place such as a caf where they play and dance to attract spectators.Questions 1-5: You can cite words from the passage (you may need to modify the words slightly to suit the question) or use your own words to answer each question. 1) How often is the Rio carnival held? 2) Apart from Brazil, where do the spectators come from? 3) What is the “Sambadrome”? 4) What are the essential qualities for a Carnival Queen?
