Canada, the Great White North
Wherever you go in Canada, particularly in the large cities, you will be astonished by the fact that you encounter people from every part of the globe. You can find an authentic Italian pizzeria sitting alongside a Vietnamese restaurant. The taxi driver was born in Jamaica and the grocer is with French accent. With so many cultures co existing in Canada, Multiculturalism has been a fundamental characteristic.
For example, Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is not a prosperous, industrial place. Contrary to that, it's small, beautiful, pleasant and quiet. It's more like a town hiding in the wonderful scenery of Lake Ontario. Out of everything you would experience, the unique local red bus is the highlight. To keep Ottawa's original style, the city planners gave up a complex transportation system for narrow but well stretched (四通八达的) roads. The traditional red buses literally shoulder the duty of taking people in and out. Many, from children to old people, from white collar workers to housewives, take buses.
Vancouver is a natural masterpiece, peaceful and pure. It is filled with awesome landscapes, brilliant sunsets, and clean air to breathe. For tourists, the upshot of all this diversity is that Vancouver has some of the best international food—unique, international delights. Another thing that attracts people is the weather. Much of Canada is freezing cold, but Vancouver's temperature averages between 10 and 20 degrees for most of the year. The comfortable weather allows visitors to walk on the shore, surfing in the bay and boating in the harbour.
Now, Canada is the second best country on Earth, second only to Switzerland. For beauty and freshness, the great outdoors of Canada can't be beaten. Canada's vast and cold wilderness also makes it the most anticipated destination for winter sports. Canada is also famous for its culture of good manners and politeness. Canadians are funny, too. With this, Canada reaches such a high position among the world's best countries and is called the Great White North.

二、牛刀小试:策略引领,演练读后续写“6+3”模式
【典题精析】
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Several years ago, as I was on a business trip from San Francisco to New Orleans, I noticed I would have some time at the airport in Dallas before catching my connecting flight. So I called my friend Luke who lived in Dallas. “Luke, I've got an hour and a half stop at the airport. If you'll come out and meet my plane, I'll treat you to dinner.” Luke enthusiastically agreed.
When the pilot announced that our flight would be delayed an extra few minutes in San Francisco, I became upset. Every minute that passed was one minute less that I would be able to spend with my friend. The plane arrived in Dallas an hour late. That left me only half an hour to stay with Luke and I still needed time to catch my connecting flight. At this point, I knew our having dinner together was totally out of the question.
When I stepped off the plane, Luke was there, waiting for me. “Hey, Luke,” I said apologetically, “Thanks for coming out to meet me. I hope you didn't have to wait here too long.”
“Oh, no problem,” he replied easily. “I called ahead and found out your plane was going to be late.”
“Oh, good,” I replied.“Look, I'm really sorry about dinner, but I'll owe you one next e on, we'll find out what gate my next plane is leaving from. We can head over there together and talk a bit.”
“I am very interested in having dinner with you,” he said to me.
“The only way you're going to have dinner with me tonight is if you buy a plane ticket to New Orleans!”
“We're having dinner,” replied Luke with determination. “Believe me, I have this whole thing arranged. Just follow me.”
He picked up one of my bags and carried it out through the security check. The two of us hurried down a short flight of stairs in the parking garage and walked rapidly along several rows of cars until we came to the place where Luke's car was parked.

I immediately noticed, in the parking space next to his car, a folding table. Luke opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a tablecloth, two folding chairs, a bottle of champagne and a few dishes he had arranged. There we were, sitting across the table from each other in the middle of a parking lot, toasting each other with champagne and grinning from ear to ear brightly. Drivers in search of a parking place were annoyed at us for taking up the space, but once they took a closer look, many of them broke into astonished smiles. Whoever would do something like that for another person must value their friendship very much.
With seven and one half minutes to go, we put everything back in the car and ran for my plane. Fortunately, we arrived at the gate with only seconds to spare. The flight attendant grabbed my ticket, rushed me on board and guided me to my seat. I settled into my seat, relieved and energized by the whole thrilling experience. Throughout the entire flight, I couldn't help thinking of the images of the dinner with Luke. The whole thing had happened so quickly that I hadn't really had a chance to thank him properly. So as soon as the plane landed I called him and said, “Luke, thank you!”Luke was such a blessing and it was such a privilege to have so sweet a friend.
