Canada
Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, second only to Russia, and has always been famous for its fantastic natural scenery. Canada has vast areas of wilderness, from the Arctic (北极的) north with the USA in the south. On the eastern and western boundaries, the country borders the two great oceans — the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Beautiful scenery is just one of the treasures Canada has to offer. You will be thrilled by Toronto,
Montreal, Vancouver and
Edmonton — all known internationally for their lifestyle, beautiful architecture and special culture.
Nearer to the Atlantic coast is Niagara Falls. It is perhaps the most widely recognized natural scenery in Canada. Millions of visitors from all over the world come here every year.
If you visit during the autumn, you can see Canada’s national symbol — the maple leaf! There are many maple trees in Canada and a maple leaf is featured on the Canada flag. In autumn, maple leaves turn a beautiful red and the tree itself supplies Canada’s most famous food — maple syrup (枫叶糖浆) — which goes perfectly with pancakes.
With all of these attractions, you can see why, in 1996, the UN named Canada the best country in the world to live in!

Try to find out the writer’s feeling.
We usually can find out someone’s feeling of something from the person’s words and actions.
The writer, Eva, feels excited, joyful, and fulfilled about her trip. She expresses excitement about sharing stories, delight in experiencing new places (like the Rocky Mountains, Quebec’s culture and food), and thrill at seeing a killer whale. There’s also a sense of accomplishment in completing the cross - continental journey, and happiness in making a new friend to practice French with.
Find out what the underlined words refer to.
Pronouns such as “it”, “this”, “that”, “these”, and “those” are used to make connections between parts of a text. These pronouns may refer to a word, a phrase or a sentence, or even several words, phrases or sentences. They can refer back to previous information or forward to new information.
首句“We made it!”中的it引出下文，指代“My family and I have ... in two weeks!”，这里的it是下指。
第二段中，“It took us ...”中的it承接上文，指代名词短语“our vehicle”，it是回指。
第三段中，“The funniest thing happened on that day.”中的that是回指，指代本段首句中的“the eighth”；“How did that happen ”中的that也是回指，指代“I’d fallen asleep, when ... her seat was empty!”，that在语篇上指代上文中的多个句子，意义上指代“接到妈妈的电话，才发现妈妈不在车上”这件事。
指示代词既可以引出下文，也可以总结上文，起着承上启下的作用。
