?Why are there different cultures in one country?
?What are some of the cultural differences between different people and places in China？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 ofIn Canada，people from many cultures live together. 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 official 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 differencesin 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. percent/p?'sent/ n.百分之……知识点1考向一【难点，易错点】 百分数的表达法：基数词＋percent。注意无论数字有多大，percent 都用单数形式。
eg：Prices rose by 6 percent last year.
去年，物价上涨了6%。基数词＋ percent＋of＋名词(短语)、代词作主语时，谓语动词与of 后面的名词(短语)、代词在数上保持一致，即当名词(短语)、代词为单数(或不可数)时，谓语动词用单数形式；当名词(短语)、代词为复数时， 谓语动词用复数形式。
eg：Seventy percent of the rice is from the south. 百分之七十的大米来自南方。考向二one fifth of...，half of...，the rest of...，most of...等一些短语作主语时，同样谓语动词与of后面的名词(短语)、代词在数上保持一致，即当名词(短语)、代词为单数(或不可数)时，谓语动词用单数形式；当名词(短语)、代词为复数时， 谓语动词用复数形式。拓展典例Fifty percent of the water in our city________
(come) from the Yellow River.【点拨】句意：我们城市的百分之五十的水来自黄河。
基数词＋percent of＋名词(短语)在句中作主语，名词(短语)是单数或不可数时，谓语动词用单数形式；名词(短语)是复数时，谓语动词用复数形式。water是不可数名词，故填comes。comes rest/rest/n. 剩余部分；其余的人；其他事物知识点2 the rest在句中作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式依据它所指代的名词的单复数形式而定，即所指代的名词为复数时，则谓语动词用复数形式；所指代的名词为单数时，则谓语动词用单数形式。
eg：These grapes are mine. The rest are yours.
这些葡萄是我的。其余的(葡萄)是你的。考向一【易错点】典例Twenty workers are from China in our factory, and the rest ________from other countries.
A．is B．am
C．are D．were【点拨】考查主谓一致。当the rest 在句中作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式由它所指代的内容的单复数来决定。句意：在我们工厂，有二十个工人来自中国，其余的来自其他国家。这里the rest ＝ the rest of workers，指代的名词是复数，且前半句时态为一般现在时，故选C。Cv.休息；安置；放置
eg：You can rest your head on my shoulder.
你可以把你的头放在我的肩膀上。
Rest your eyes every half an hour.
每过半小时，让你的眼睛休息一下。考向二 in the 1970s 在二十世纪七十年代知识点3考向一表示“某世纪几十年代”时，要在年前加the, 在整几十的年份后加“s”或“'s”。
eg：He was born in the 1830s.
他出生在十九世纪三十年代。考向二【重点】 注意in the＋年份s/年份's与in＋年份的辨析典例Thousands of young people went to the countryside to work with the farmers________．
A．in the 1970' B．in 1970s
C．in 1970's D．in the 1970's【点拨】in the＋年份s/年份's，表示“某世纪几十年代”，
故选D。D according to prep.根据；依照知识点4eg：According to these figures，our company is
doing well.从这些数字来看，我们的公司
做得不错。 according to的用法：考向【重点】 the number of ……的数量知识点5考向【重点，易错点】 the number of和a number of的辨析eg：The number of students in our class is 50.
我们班学生的数量是50。典例—How many women doctors are there in your hospital?

Ⅲ. 任务型阅读
Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving. When we meet someone, everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture, it helps to understand something about these differences.
Even how we stand depends on our culture. English people talk to each other at an average (平均的) distance of 130 cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80 cm. So Italians can think that English people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people can think that Italians are too close.
Touching is also cultural. The French touch much more than Americans. A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.
