Canada— a land of diversity
Canada is like a blooming flower, unfolding with breathtaking beauty and richness to win the heart of those who enjoy what it has to offer[1]． It is a broad and beautiful country stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean． It is also one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world with distinct cultures．
In the ten provinces and three territories which make up Canada, there is great diversity in geography． To the east of the Pacific coast rise the grand Rocky Mountains, which are home to high peaks and deep valleys carved by ice and water．[2] Ancient, slow moving glaciers hug the land and a huge variety of wildlife wanders the remote forests． The establishment of national parks makes many of these beautiful places protected areas for the public to visit and enjoy, such as Banff and Jasper National Parks． One truly unique scenic spot in Canada is the mighty Niagara Falls with water rushing over its edge in a splendid display of sights and sounds．
Apart from its geographical diversity, Canada's many rural areas and urban centers reflect the diversity of its residents． Some of Canada's earliest settlers, who are thought to be ancestors of the indigenous peoples, crossed the Bering Strait by means of a land bridge from a place now known as Siberia．[3] They settled on this vast land thousands of years ago． The first Europeans also started to settle in some of the eastern provinces centuries ago． Today, Canada reflects a vast combination of ethnic backgrounds． About one out of five people in Canada's population is foreign born． The major ethnic groups, for example, include the English, Scottish and French, while the minority groups include residents from Singapore and the Pacific Islands．
This ethnic variety, in turn[4], brings about cultural diversity． Should you find yourself in one of these subcultures, languages, cuisine, architecture, art and music will define your encounter．[5] For example, in Vancouver, a dynamic city with the highest percentage of Chinese Canadians in the country, you can participate in the celebrations of the Chinese New Year, or you may take tea in the Dr Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden． In Montreal, one of the largest French speaking cities in the world, you can sample the food with a typical French flavor and see the original buildings in the French style of architecture． Finally, if you are looking for something off the beaten track, you may visit Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia, where you can dance to fiddle tunes and enjoy the cultures and traditions of Celtic settlers．[6] As you are exposed to diverse cultures, you may feel transported through time and space． Given these cultural differences, it comes as no surprise that Canada has been celebrating Multiculturalism Day since 2002．[7]
From the towering mountain peaks to the depths of the forests to the urban centers, Canada's geographical wonders, ethnic groups and their cultures make it a unique place to live and visit．[8] Indeed, it has been consistently ranked by the United Nations as one of the best countries to live in, and visitors are always welcome！

加拿大——一个多元文化的国土
加拿大就像一朵盛开的花朵，绽放出惊人的美丽和富饶，赢得那些享受它所提供的一切的人的心。它是一个从大西洋延伸到太平洋的广阔而美丽的国家。它也是世界上最具种族多样性的国家之一，有着丰富多样的文化。
组成加拿大的十个省和三个地区，在地理上有很大的差异。太平洋海岸向东耸立着巍峨的落基山脉，这里有高耸的山峰和被冰川水流侵蚀而成的深谷。古老、缓慢移动的冰川环绕着陆地，各种各样的野生动物在遥远的森林中游荡。国家公园的建立使许多这些美丽的地方成为公众参观和欣赏的保护区，如班夫和贾斯珀国家公园。加拿大真正独一无二的一处景点是气势恢宏的尼亚加拉瀑布，水流从边缘倾泻而下，景色壮观，水声轰鸣。
除了其地理环境的多样性，加拿大的许多农村地区和城市中心还体现了其居民的多样性。一些加拿大最早的定居者，被认为是土著居民的祖先，他们是通过大陆桥从现在被称为西伯利亚的地方穿过白令海峡的。数千年前，他们在这片广袤的土地上定居下来。几个世纪前，第一批欧洲人也开始在东部一些省份定居。今天，加拿大反映了各种种族背景的广泛结合。加拿大人口中大约五分之一是国外出生的。例如，主要民族包括英国人、苏格兰人和法国人，而少数民族包括来自新加坡和太平洋岛屿的居民。
这种民族多样性转而又带来了文化多样性。如果你发现自己置身于其中一种亚文化中，那么(它的)语言、饮食、建筑、艺术和音乐都会说明你邂逅的是何种文化。例如，在温哥华这个充满活力的城市，拥有全国最高比例的华裔加拿大人，你可以参加中国新年的庆祝活动，也可以在孙中山先生的古典中国花园里喝茶。在世界最大的法语城市之一蒙特利尔，您可以品尝到具有典型法式风味的美食，看到法国建筑风格的原汁原味建筑。最后，如果你想独辟蹊径的话，可以去新斯科舍省的布雷顿角岛玩玩。在岛上，你可以随着小提琴的曲调翩翩起舞，感受凯尔特移民的文化和传统。当你接触到不同的文化时，你可能会感到穿越时空。考虑到这些文化差异，加拿大自2002年起就一直在庆祝多元文化日也就不足为奇了。
从巍峨的山峰到森林深处，再到城市中心，加拿大的地理奇观、民族和文化使其成为一个独特的居住和游览场所。事实上，它一直被联合国列为最适合居住的国家之一，游客总是受欢迎的！Ⅰ．匹配词义

Sailing the oceans
Zheng He
In the summer of 1405, Zheng He, one of China's greatest explorers, set sail[1] from Taicang on his first voyage．A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28，000 people on board, which was a splendid scene．[2] It would take 500 years before a larger fleet sailed the seas．According to some records, the largest ships were over 140 metres in length, demonstrating the advanced technology and special skills used in constructing ships．
Between 1405 and 1433, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made a total of seven voyages．His ships were loaded with china, silk, tea and other treasures as gifts for foreign rulers, and the fleet paid friendly visits to more than 30 countries and regions．[3] He even sailed as far as the east coast of Africa．As they sailed, the navigators took compass readings, kept logs of their voyages and charted the coast．Later the detailed maps became Zheng He's Navigation Map．
Zheng He's seven voyages had a far reaching[4] impact on China and its neighbours．In the countries and regions where Zheng He set foot[5], legends have been passed on about this great explorer．Zheng He's efforts helped develop and strengthen harmonious relations with these countries and regions, exposing foreign people to Chinese culture, and allowing the Chinese to better understand overseas lands．[6]
For many years, some historians dismissed the records of these voyages as legends．The final proof came when an enormous shipyard was discovered in Nanjing, where the fleet had been built．Zheng He's accomplishments are now widely acknowledged, and he is remembered as one of China's most influential explorers．
Christopher Columbus
Those who make great discoveries must often overcome many challenges along the way—as was the case with the explorer Christopher Columbus．[7] Columbus was born in a port city of Italy in 1451．As a teenager, he loved sailing, and he showed great interest in geography, which inspired him to begin his career as a seaman．
Columbus insisted on searching for a direct sea route to the East Indies by sailing across the Atlantic Ocean．After continuous attempts, he received financial support from the King and Queen of Spain．On 3 August 1492, he departed from Spain with three ships carrying about 90 crewmen．The journey was full of challenges: it took longer than expected, they faced a shortage of food, and one of the ships was leaking badly, which put everyone on this ship in grave danger．[8] The men on board were in panic．Regardless of all the challenges, Columbus managed to keep everyone out of danger with his knowledge and bravery across the ocean．Finally, on 12 October, the crew spotted land in the distance．Columbus called the natives living on the islands Indians because he was convinced that he was in the East Indies．[9] However, the shores they had reached were of the Caribbean, not the East Indies．
Between 1493 and 1504, Columbus found more land over the course of[10] his three subsequent voyages．The major contribution of this great explorer is that he “discovered” the New World．His discovery inspired explorers such as Captain James Cook to explore and discover more vast areas of the world．His voyages opened a new chapter of the Age of Exploration, a period which witnessed many important geographical findings．[11] This period also allowed for an international exchange of ideas and cultures．

扬帆远航
郑和
1405年夏天，中国最伟大的探险家之一郑和从太仓启航，开始了他的第一次航行。一支由200多艘船只组成的船队在蓝色的海上航行，船上有28 000人，场面十分壮观。要花500年才能有一支更大的舰队出海航行。根据一些记录可知，船队中最大的船只长度超过140米，显示了建造船只的先进技术和特殊技能。
1405年到1433年期间，郑和代表明朝总共进行了七次航行。他的船上装载着瓷器、丝绸、茶叶等珍品，作为馈赠外国统治者的礼物，船队还对30多个国家和地区进行了友好访问。他甚至远航到非洲东海岸。当他们航行时，领航员读取罗盘读数，记录航行日志，绘制海岸图。后来详细的地图成了《郑和航海图》。
郑和的七次航行对中国及其邻国都产生了深远的影响。在郑和踏足的国家和地区，一直流传着关于这位伟大的探险家的传说。郑和的努力有助于发展和加强同这些国家和地区的和谐关系，使外国人了解中国文化，使中国人更好地了解海外。
多年来，一些历史学家把这些航海记录当作传说而不予理会。在建造船队的南京发现的一个巨大的造船厂最终证明了这一事实。郑和的成就现在受到广泛认可，他也作为中国最具影响力的探险家之一被世人铭记。
克里斯托弗·哥伦布
那些取得重大发现的人必须经常克服许多挑战，就像探险家克里斯托弗·哥伦布那样。哥伦布于1451年出生在意大利的一个港口城市，十几岁时，他就喜欢航海，他对地理表现出极大的兴趣，这激励了他作为一个海员开始他的职业生涯。他的职业生涯是在他移居葡萄牙后开始的。
哥伦布坚持要横渡大西洋，寻找直达东印度群岛的海上航线。经过不断的努力，他得到了西班牙国王和王后的资助。1492年8月3日，他带着三艘载有大约90名船员的船从西班牙起程。旅程中充满了挑战：时间比预期的要长，他们面临着食物短缺，其中一艘船严重漏水，这使船上的每个人都处于严重的危险之中。船上的人惊慌失措。不顾所有挑战，哥伦布设法凭借自己的知识和勇敢确保每个人都平安越过海洋。最后，在10月12日，船员们发现了远处的陆地。哥伦布称居住在群岛上的土著为印第安人，因为他确信自己在东印度群岛。然而，他们到达的海岸是加勒比海地区，而不是东印度群岛。
1493年至1504年间，哥伦布在随后的三次航行中发现了更多的陆地。这位伟大的探险家的主要贡献是他“发现”了新世界。他的发现激励了像詹姆斯·库克船长等探险家去探索和发现世界上更广阔的地区。他的航行揭开了大航海时代的新篇章，这一时期见证了许多重要的地理发现。这一时期也实现了思想和文化的国际交流。Ⅰ．匹配词义

Heritage in danger
Welcome, everybody．It's wonderful to be here．Before we begin, I want to ask you: have you ever been awed by natural wonders Have you ever been fascinated by human civilization If so, you might already understand why UNESCO is fighting to preserve sites of cultural and natural importance to mankind．I have the belief that[1] some of you have heard about UNESCO heritage sites or maybe even visited one! There are currently around 1，100 sites in more than 160 countries worldwide．Unfortunately, they face a variety of dangers and many of them are in urgent need of protection．Let's look at some specific issues．
Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces．The long term natural forces, such as wind, water and temperature, can gradually wear down heritage sites．For instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza is now several metres shorter than it was originally．Natural disasters, the sudden and powerful natural forces, can lead to the destruction of heritage sites: in 2003, a terrible earthquake shook south eastern Iran and ruined large parts of the city of Bam, an incredible UNESCO cultural heritage site．[2]
Another big danger is human activities．Wars can cause a great deal of damage to both cultural and natural heritage sites．Sometimes, amazing ancient clay sculptures and buildings are accidentally destroyed by missile attacks during periods of violence．In some conflict areas where civil wars often break out, fighters have even destroyed heritage sites on purpose．
Meanwhile, World Heritage status may give rise to[3] a series of problems．One of the problems is the flood of tourists．Millions of tourists travel to UNESCO World Heritage Sites every year, so it is only natural that the sites suffer a bit of wear and tear．[4] The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are typical examples of unique architecture．Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are wearing down these ancient buildings and the long term consequences could lead to irreparable destruction of the internal structure．[5]
Due to human population growth, the demand for production and consumption of goods increases．Widespread development puts our cultural and natural heritage sites in danger．Many heritage sites are even at risk of being lost forever．Take the Historic Centre of Vienna in Austria as an example．The city has been recognized as the musical capital of Europe since the 16th century, home to the likes of Mozart and Beethoven．[6] It is now on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to high rise construction projects in central Vienna．
Such dangers can have disastrous outcomes not only for the sites themselves, but also for people．For instance, the Great Barrier Reef off the north east coast of Australia is a natural heritage site in danger．Due to high seawater temperatures caused by global warming, a large amount of coral is killed and parts of the reef are seriously affected, which harms its fragile natural ecology．[7] As well as being home to a wide diversity of ocean species, the reef can boost tourism and fishing in the local area, providing many job opportunities．[8] It also helps protect the coastline against waves and floods．If the reef disappears, many people's lives and possibly even their homes will suffer greatly．
Heritage protection is at the top of the agenda for the benefit of all mankind．The more we acknowledge the outstanding universal value of our heritage sites, the more likely we are to treat them with respect．These sites are the great wonders of our world and tell the story of human civilization．We all share a joint responsibility to protect and preserve them, not just for ourselves, but for future generations．If your heart breaks like mine at the thought of[9] our irreplaceable heritage being lost forever, please take action．If you're interested, please look at our website and participate in any way you can! Thank you．

濒危遗产
欢迎各位。很高兴来到这里。在我们开始之前，我想问你：你曾经惊叹自然奇观吗？你对人类文明着迷了吗？如果是这样，你们也许已经明白为什么联合国教科文组织正在竭力保护对人类具有文化和自然重要性的遗址。我相信你们中的一些人听说过联合国教科文组织的遗址，甚至可能参观过一个！目前在全球160多个国家有大约1 100个遗址。不幸的是，它们面临各种危险，其中许多急需保护。让我们看看一些具体的问题。
遗址面临着自然的威胁。诸如风、水和气温等长期存在的自然力会逐渐侵蚀遗址。例如，吉萨大金字塔现在比原来矮了几米。自然灾害这种突然而强大的自然力量会破坏遗址：2003年，一场可怕的地震袭击了伊朗东南部，摧毁了巴姆古城的大部分地区。该古城是一处令人叹为观止的联合国教科文组织文化遗址。
另一大危险是人类活动。战争会对自然和文化遗产造成巨大的破坏。有时，令人惊叹的古代泥塑和建筑在暴力时期被导弹袭击意外摧毁。在一些经常爆发内战冲突的地区，战斗人员甚至故意破坏遗址。
同时，世界遗产的地位也可能引发一系列的问题。其中一个问题是游客泛滥。每年有大量游客涌入联合国教科文组织世界遗产地旅游，所以这些遗产遭受些损坏也是很自然的。柬埔寨吴哥的寺庙是独特建筑的典型代表。每天，成千上万的游客爬上狭窄的石阶，把这些古老的建筑都磨坏了，长此以往可能会对内部结构造成无法弥补的破坏。
由于人口的增长，对生产和消费商品的需求增加。广泛的开发使我们的文化和自然遗产地处于危险之中。许多遗址甚至有可能永远消失。以奥地利的维也纳历史中心为例。自16世纪以来，这座城市被公认为欧洲的音乐之都，居住着莫扎特和贝多芬等音乐人。由于维也纳市中心的高层建筑工程，它现在被列入濒危世界遗产名录。
这样的危险不仅会给遗产本身带来灾难性的后果，也会给人们带来灾难性的后果。例如，澳大利亚东北海岸的大堡礁是一处处于危险之中的自然遗产。由于全球变暖导致海水温度升高，大量珊瑚被杀死，部分珊瑚礁受到严重影响，损害了其脆弱的自然生态。珊瑚礁不仅是海洋物种多样性的家园，还可以促进当地旅游和渔业经济，提供许多就业机会。它也有助于保护海岸线免受海浪和洪水的侵袭。如果珊瑚礁消失，许多人的生活，甚至可能他们的家园都将遭受巨大的损失。
为了全人类的利益，遗产保护是当务之急。我们越是承认遗产地的突出普遍价值，就越有可能尊重它们。这些遗址是我们世界的伟大奇迹，讲述着人类文明的故事。我们都有共同的责任来保护环境，不仅是为了我们自己，而且是为了子孙后代。如果你们像我一样，一想到那些无可取代的遗产将会永远消失就觉得心碎，那么就请采取行动吧。如果您感兴趣，请查看我们的网站，并以任何方式参与！非常感谢。Ⅰ．匹配词义

原文呈现
Life on a space station
Living in space is every would be[1] astronaut's dream．My six month stay on a space station has come to an end[2], and it has been a challenging but magical adventure．I bet you'd love to know what daily life is like up in space and how it differs from that on the Earth—the low gravity definitely makes ordinary things strange！[3]
The strangeness of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep．Due to the near absence of gravity in space, we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float around．We usually sleep in private quarters, which are more like large cupboards, or in sleeping bags attached to the walls or the ceiling．[4] It's strange that we try to sleep with no pressure against our back, but the unusual beds don't bother us any more．After about eight hours of sleep, we start our day of work．
The routine tasks that occupy most of the day are demanding, but they can also be extremely rewarding．Our main mission is to conduct scientific research．We need to evaluate the effects of low gravity on animals and plants．Creatures such as mice, fish and mosquitoes have also been sent to the station! In a low gravity environment, we can learn more about changes in cells and microorganisms under the microscope．As well as doing these biological experiments, we carry out experiments in other research fields．I have been working on one experiment which locates and tracks lightning over large regions of the Earth．Hopefully, it will cast new light on the Earth's climate and lead to better lightning protection．With so much going on, the space station needs a lot of maintenance, so we constantly check support systems and do some cleaning．[5]
The most challenging work takes place when we need to perform tasks outside the space station, such as testing new equipment, monitoring scientific experiments or repairing the space station．[6] In the circumstances, it's time for a spacewalk．First, we put on our spacesuits, which allow us to breathe in space and protect us from exposure to the cold and radiation．Then we head out [7], and sometimes perform tasks for hours at a time, with the beautiful Earth visible below．Splendid as the view of the Earth is[8], spacewalking is not as exciting as you might think．It's probably the most dangerous work, with potential risks such as electric shocks．That's why every spacewalk is carefully planned．
In view of the low gravity environment, eating is also different in space．Most food is dried or freeze dried．It's a luxury to eat fresh food, because fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables can only be delivered to the space station from the Earth every couple of months．[9] Salt and pepper are only in liquid form, so that they will not float away and block the air pipes．However, liquids can't be easily controlled in space．We must drink water or any other liquids out of a bag through a thin tube of plastic．Furthermore, to keep our body healthy, we must ensure a balanced supply of nutrients by taking pills．
Spending some time in the gym is of vital importance to astronauts' health．Did you know that in just five months, astronauts could lose a significant amount of muscle and bone mass？Considering these negative effects low gravity has on the human body, we discipline ourselves to do at least two hours of exercise every day．[10] Exercise in space is not your average workout．We have to be tied onto specially designed exercise equipment to stop ourselves from floating around．
During our leisure time, there's nothing we like more than to sit back with the rest of the crew and watch our remarkable planet go by, taking pictures for our family and friends back home．[11] As the space station travels at a speed of about 17，500 miles per hour, we get to see the sunrise every 90 minutes．In these precious moments, all the challenges of life in space seem worth it．

太空站上的生活
生活在太空是每个未来宇航员的梦想。我在空间站的六个月的停留已经结束，这是一次充满挑战但又神奇的冒险。我敢打赌你一定很想知道太空中的日常生活是什么样的，它与地球上的生活有什么不同，低重力使普通的事物变得奇怪！
从我们睡觉的那一刻起，生活在太空中的陌生感就显而易见了。由于太空中几乎没有重力，我们不得不把我们自己拴起来，这样我们就不会四处漂浮。我们通常睡在私人住所里，就像大的壁橱一样，或者睡在睡袋里，睡袋拴在墙上或天花板上。试着背部没有压力入睡是奇怪的，但我们不再为这些特别的床而烦恼了。大约睡了八个小时后，我们开始了一天的工作。
占用了一天里大部分时间的日常工作要求很高，但是也会非常有意义。我们的主要任务是进行科学研究。我们需要评估低重力对动物和植物的影响。老鼠、鱼和蚊子等生物也被送到了太空站！在失重状态环境下，我们可以在显微镜下了解更多有关细胞和微生物的变化。除了做这些生物学实验外，我们还在其他研究领域进行实验。我在做一个实验，在大面积的地球上定位和跟踪闪电。希望它能给地球的气候带来新的曙光，并带来更好的雷电防护。由于发生了这么多事情，空间站需要大量的维护，所以我们经常检查支持系统并做一些清洁工作。
最具挑战性的工作发生在我们需要在空间站外执行任务时，例如测试新设备、监测科学实验或维修空间站。在这种情况下，是时候来场太空行走了。首先，我们穿上宇航服，它使我们能够在太空中呼吸，保护我们免受寒冷和辐射的伤害。然后我们出发，有时执行任务几个小时，下面可以看到美丽的地球。虽然地球的景色十分壮观，但太空行走并不像你们可能想象的那么激动人心。这可能是最危险的工作，有电击等潜在风险。这就是为什么每次太空漫步都是精心策划的。
鉴于失重状态的环境，饮食在空间站上也有所不同。大多数食物是干的或经过冷冻干燥的。吃新鲜食物是一种奢侈，因为新鲜的农产品，如水果和蔬菜，每隔两个月才能从地球送到空间站。盐和胡椒只呈液态，这样它们就不会飘落，也不会使气管堵塞。然而，液体在太空中不容易被控制。我们必须从一个袋子里，通过一根细塑料管喝水或其他液体。此外，为了保持我们的身体健康，我们必须通过吃药来保证营养的均衡供应。
花些时间在健身房锻炼对宇航员的健康至关重要。你知道仅仅在五个月里宇航员就可能失去相当多的肌肉量和骨量吗？考虑到失重状态对人体的这些负面影响，我们要求自己每天至少锻炼两个小时。在太空中锻炼不是一般的锻炼。我们必须被绑在特殊的运动器材上，以防自己四处漂浮。
在空闲时间，我们最喜欢做的事就是和其他工作人员一起舒服地坐下来，看着我们非凡的星球从身边经过，拍点照片给地球上的家人和朋友看。由于空间站以每小时17 500英里的速度运行，我们每90分钟就能看到一次日出。在这些珍贵的时刻，太空生活的所有挑战似乎都是值得的。Ⅰ．匹配词义
