Most travellers face the language difficulty in Italy(意大利) nowadays. 1 There are a few things that you should know before you step out of the airport.
There's no such thing as “Italian food”.
In Italy each area has its own personality,its own dialect(方言),and its own food. 2 Get to know what's produced locally and what's in season,and you'll be eating the freshest and best of what that area has to offer.
3
Most Italians pay for things on a day to day basis with cash from their morning coffee to dinner.Those of you who have grown used to paying for milk and bread at the grocery store with a card may find it very difficult to travel.
The waiter isn't being rude when he leaves you alone to eat.
In Italy,after your meal is served,you may not see the waiter at your table again until it's time to clear your plates.This is not the waiter being rude. 4
An empty restaurant doesn't mean the place is bad.
Many times I've gone into restaurants in Italy at what I thought was dinner time only to find the place nearly empty. 5 The dinner hour in many cities doesn't start until at least 8∶00 p.m.Many restaurants in bigger cities and towns will be open earlier than that,but the earlier opening time isn't for the locals.It's for visitors.
A.Cash is king in Italy.
B.Trains are always late in Italy.
C.Later,I learned Italians eat late.
D.If so,travelling to Italy can be an attractive experience.
E.However,it's still a very easy and comfortable country to visit.
F.This is the waiter letting you enjoy your meal as long as you want.
G.It's a shock to those of you who think you've already known what Italian food is.

Since I was born and brought up in a rural town,I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college,I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study program,I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8∶00 p.m.and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky!I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night,whenever it was sunny,I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights,I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky,it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts,the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky.That's because they come about from the collisions (碰撞)between atmospheric gases and the solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active,which leads to the best northern lights.And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
1.Why did the host mother ask the author to go out
A.She wanted to take a picture of him.
B.She wanted to take a walk with him.
C.She wanted to tell him something important.
D.She wanted him to see the northern lights.
2.The author forgot to take pictures after going out because .
A.the host mother didn't remind him to take the camera
B.he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C.the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D.he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
3.When is the best time to see the northern lights
A.When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B.When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C.When they are between the north and south.
D.When they rise in the east part of the sky.
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A.Ways to take good pictures.
B.The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C.The colors of the northern lights.
D.The time of the best northern lights.

The first people in Canada crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals,walruses (海象) and whales.They also hunted caribou (北美驯鹿).On the west coast people hunted deer,bear and beaver (河狸).They also fished.On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo.In the east people grew crops of beans,squash (南瓜),maize (玉米) and sunflower seeds.
The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings.In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land.However he sailed away without landing.In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land,which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada).However Eriksson did not stay permanently.Later the Vikings did establish a colony (殖民地) in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.
However,after the Vikings,Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century.In 1497 the English King Henry Ⅶ sent an Italian named John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland.Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.
Then in 1534 and in 1535-1536 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada.On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrence's Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River,which he named after the saint.
However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century.In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635) sailed up the St Lawrence River.In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia).In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec.(The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river).In 1642 the French founded Montreal.The new colony in Canada was called New France.By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000.By 1740 it was 48,000.
5.In which part of Canada did people grow crops
A.In the north. B.In the east.
C.On the west coast. D.On the plains.
6.Who was the first European to reach Canada
A.Leif Eriksson. B.Bjarni Herjolfsson.
