canada came about, we must go back to the 16th century. at that time, the french dreamed of discovering and controlling more land across the world. in 1535 francois i, king of france, ordered a navigator (航海家) named jacques cartier to explore the new world and search for a passage to india. cartier first arrived at the gulf of the st. lawrence, which he wanted to explore. he did not knowwhat to expect but he hoped that this gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. if itwas, he would soon be on his way to the far east. so he sailed upwards along the st. lawrenceriver. however, instead of reaching asia he arrived at quebec or stadacona, as the indians calledit. it was at this point that the term “canada” entered the countrys history. clearly the word“canada” came from an indian word “kanata”, which means village. cartier first used it when hereferred to stadacona or quebec. what a huge “village” canada is!57. what was cartier ordered to do?a. to build a new

but the golden eagles hotshots dont fight fires quite that way. when they go into action, you may not even see a fire truck.the hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas. but dont think youll only find them in their home state california. wherever there is a national wildfire emergency, the golden eagles hotshots could be there.but these firefighters dont work the same way as firefighters in a big city. they work in areas where there are a large number of trees, bushes, and grass. they climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris（残骸）. they sometimes use water, but they often fight fire with fire!they do that by lighting what are called “backfires,” which are small, controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires. that way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go, because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.the hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work. for example, they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.of course there are times when the golden eagles hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. but the water is limited, and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything. physical fitness is very important. they have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.the golden eagles hotshots definitely work hard for their pay. but thanks to their efforts, many lives have been saved, many houses have not burned, and countless trees are still standing.1567. the firefighters mentioned in the passenger. a. do much of their work in california b. avoid climbing steep hills in their work c. do their work equipped with advanced tools. d. carry

are voluntary firefighters working for free. d. they usually hold a hose to put out the fires.1870. what is the authors attitude towards the golden eagles hotshots? a. appreciativeb. doubtfulc.

deaths are preventable with basic medical care.the five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). mothers deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries.experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays” the womans delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospitals delay in starting treatment. only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)women lack education and information about birth control. husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. however, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factorsshortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and transportationthough hospital officials are trying many things now.one stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. some african countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.but there is a long way to go. only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. more than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies.19which is not included
