Unit 5 Canada-"The True North"李黛予和她表妹刘倩要去加拿大大西洋海岸的蒙特利尔市看望她们的表兄妹们。
她们不想一路乘飞机，她们决定飞到温哥华，再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。
要横贯整个大陆的想法很是令人兴奋。
她们的朋友林丹尼在机场等候她们。
他要带着她们和行李到火车站乘坐横穿加拿大的“真北方”号列车。
在去火车站的路上，林丹尼聊起了她们的旅程：“你们沿途将会看到美丽壮阔的风景。
向东一直走，你们会经过一座座ft脉，上千个湖泊、森林，还有宽阔的河流和许多大城市。
有人想在不到五天的时间里横穿加拿大，他们忘了加拿大从东海岸到西海岸共有5，500 公里。
这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。
人们说温哥华是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大ft和太平洋环抱。
落基ft可以滑雪，海港供你扬帆，这些使得温哥华成为加拿大最受欢迎的居住城市之一。
这个城市的人口增长很快。
在温哥华北面的海岸上保存了最古老、最美丽的森林。
那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达90 多米。
”那天下午表姐俩才登上了火车落了座。
火车先是穿越落基ft脉，她们设法看到了野ft 羊，甚至还看到了一只大灰熊和一只鹰。
她们的下一站就是卡尔加里，这个城市因“大西部赛马会”而闻名。
来自世界各地的牛仔们来参加赛马会比赛。
他们中许多人都有骑野马的本领，他们能赢得几千美元的奖金。
两天以后，她们开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。
他们在学校学过，大多数加拿大人定居在靠近美国几百英里的边境地带，加拿大的人口也就是三千万多一点儿。
但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们很惊讶。
火车穿过一个种植小麦的省份，她们看到了面积有数千英亩的农场。
晚饭后她们又回到城市，位于五大湖区顶端的繁忙的港口城市桑得贝。
巨大的海轮可以开到五大湖，让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。
她们知道，因为有五大湖，加拿大的淡水比世界上任何其他国家都多。
事实上，加拿大拥有全世界三分之一的淡水量，其中大部分都蓄在五大湖泊里。

Unit 5 Canada—“The True North”Part I A trip on “the true north”Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decide d to fly from China to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting.Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch“The True North”, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he chat ted about their trip. “You’re going to see some great scenery on your trip. Going eastward, you will pass mountains and thousands of lake s and forest s, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5500 kilometers from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you are in Canada’s warmest part. People say it is Canada’s most beautiful city, surround ed by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Ski ing in the Rocky Mountains and sail ing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canada’s most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.”That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settle d down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they cross ed the Rocky Mountains, they manage d to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for Calgary Stampede Cowboys. Cowboy s from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prize s.After two days’travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learn ed that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amaze d to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that cover ed thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. In fact, it has one-third of the world’s total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.That night as they slept, the train rush ed across the top of Lake Superior, through the greatforests and southward towards Toronto.Part II “the True North” from Toronto to MontrealThe next morning the bush es and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirm ing that fall had arrived in Canada.Around noon they arrived in Toronto, the biggest and most wealthy city in Canada. They were not leaving for Montreal until later, so they went on a tour of the city. They went up the tall CN Tower, and looked across the lake. In the distance, they could see the misty cloud that rose from the great Niagara Fall s, which is on the south side of the lake. The water flow s into the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to the sea.They saw the covered stadium, home of several famous basketball teams. As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, “Lin Fei, One of my mother’s schoolmate s lives here. I should phone her from a telephone booth.”They met Lin Fei around dusk in downtown Chinatown, one of the three in Toronto. Over dinner at a restaurant called The Pink Pearl, the cousins chat ted with Lin Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earlier. “We can get good Cantonese food here,” Lin Fei told them, “because most of the Chinese people here come from South China, especially Hong Kong. It’s too bad you can’t go as far as Ottawa, Canada’s capital. It’s approxmately four hundred kilometres northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long.”The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal at dawn the next morning. At the station, people everywhere were speaking French. There were sign s and ads in French, but some of them had English words in smaller letter s. “We don’t leave until this evening,”said Liu Qian. “Let’s go downtown. Old Montreal is close to the water.” They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting the artists in their workplaces beside the water. As they sat in a buffet restaurant looking over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them.“Hello, my name is Henri, and I’m a student at the university nearby,” he said, “and I was wonder ing where you are from.” The girl s told him they were on a train trip across Canada and that they had only one day in Montreal. “That’s too bad,” he said, “Montreal is a city with wonderful restaurants and clubs. Most of us speak both English and French, but the city has French culture and tradition s. We love good coffee, good bread and good music.”That night as the train was speed ing along the St Lawrence River toward the Gulf of St Lawrenceand down to the distant east coast, the cousins dream ed of French restaurants and red maple leaves.。
