There are 10 provinces (省) in the country but only one of these Quebec( 魁北克 ) is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered and governed the rest. Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official language ever since. Most people speak English as their first language and the two _86_ television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare. The same goes _87_ traffic signs and menus, for example, Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places _88_ youll see traffic signs in French. And in restaurants, its _89_ impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, _90_ law, have labels and instructions in both languages. In Canadas English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can _91_ to complete a special French course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.85. A) nationsB) countryC) landD) place86. A) localB) individualC) privateD) national87. A) toB) onC) forD) at88.

It is a way of free expression. While gossiping, people communicate with a free mind. Gossiping h_93_ us shift（转移）our interest to others. When we gossip, we seldom discuss our own problems. We generally discuss another person who is not present. Doing so, we laugh away our own cares. Sometimes we feel sorry for a person involved in a particular problem. And we also come up with solutions to his problems. More happiness flows into our lives when we help and guide a person we are t_94_ about. But, be aware of the dangerous side of gossiping! Gossiping can be harmful if you h_95_ others on purpose. When you start speaking i_96_ of someone, you start criticizing others for nothing. When you gossip with an ill-will, it makes you tense. Tension naturally comes to you when you try to make others tense. Why do people talk badly about each other? People pass bad remarks about others simply out of hatred憎恨), fear, envy（妒忌）, and greed. The person making insulting（侮辱性的） remarks thinks his listener will keep the talk a s_97_, but gossiping travels faster than the wind! And still faster when the gossiping is bad! We all gossip at one time or another. After gossiping, people feel l_98_ and relaxed. But purely bad gossiping makes us tense and envious of others.E) Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)（14分）Beauty: The Korean Way “Thank goodness you have double eyelids（双眼皮）. Your parents will save a lot of money,” said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost every Caucasian(白种人) has, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans（韩国） are born with double eyelids. I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics（整容诊所）everywhere, along with billboards（街上大型广告牌） featuring South Korean women who had Western characteristicstall, thin, with a milky complexion（肤色）, long legs, nice big eyes, and the perfectly-angled nose. I figured out that South Korean beauty meant looking as “white” or Caucasian as possible. South Korea is known to have the highest ratio(比例) of cosmetic surgeons to citizens worldwide. It is very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as high school graduation presents. What made South Koreans fall so madly in love with cosmetic surgery? Cosmetic surgery has some kind of magical appeal（吸引力） to themthe promise of beauty. Women are often convinced（深信不疑）that suffering and sacrificing（牺牲）is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle. This beauty ideal（期望）is not a trend（时尚）, but a very real standard that is growing deeper within South Korean society. Appearance is starting to play a bigger role in the workplace to the extent that men are also resort to（求助于）cosmetic surgery. For instance, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and over six feet tall, gets many more job offers than his
