重点探究
Why are there different cultures in one country
What are some of the cultural differences between different people and places in China
Listen and follow to the tape.
Canada is home to many cultures. Three percent of all Canadians are First Nations people. The people of the First Nations were there before other people came to North America. Now more than half of Canadians have British or French blood. The rest are from every part of the world: Asia, Africa, Central America, South America, Australia and other European countries.
Canada became a country in 1867, and for more than a hundred years, most immigrants in the country were from Europe. In the 1970s and 1980s, that changed. According to a survey, the number of European immigrants dropped from 90 percent to 25 percent, and the number of Asian immigrants rose from 3 percent to 48 percent.
Although Canada has two offcial languages—English and French, most Canadians do not speak both. Many immigrants speak two languages—the language of their first country and English or French. Canada welcomes cultural differences in the people who live there.
So what is a Canadian That's a little hard to describe. Canada does not have one culture—it has many. It is important that people from different cultures can live together in one country.
Is there a Canadian food Not really. Is there a Canadian religion No. Is there a Canadian kind of music No again. Is there a Canadian way of understanding the world Yes. It's that people should respect and accept one another and help one another. It's important to keep different languages, religions and customs alive.

拓展:more than 还意为“不仅仅;不止”。
e.g. He is more than a teacher.
3. The rest are from ...
the rest 多余的;剩余的
the rest of 其余的;剩余的
后接名词或代词。the rest of 结构作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于of 后面接的名词的单复数形式。
e.g. Three students in our class will go, and the rest are
to stay here.
Please finish off the rest of the food.
4. according to 根据;依照;依据
according to 为复合介词,后接名词或代词。
e.g. According to my watch, it is six o'clock.
They both played the game according to the rules.
from…to…为常用介词短语,意为“从……到……”。
5. the number of ... ……的数量
