As is known to all, theCan adia n red and white maple leaf flag is officially called The Nati onal Flag of Can ada. The Can adia n flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white backgro und, with red borders dow n each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag. Can ada is a very large coun try, too. It is the sec ond largest country in the world. By con trast, it has a very small populati on. There are on ly about 29 millio n people there. Most Can adia ns are of British or French origin, and French is an official Ianguage as well as English. About 45 % of the people are of British origin —that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc, come from Britain. Nearly 30 % are of French origi n. Most of the Fren ch-Ca nadia ns live in the provi nee of Quebec. Over the years people have come to live in Can ada from many coun tries in the world. They are mostly from Europea n coun tries and also from China, as well as other Asia n coun tries.However, Can ada was not an empty country whe n the Europea ns bega n to arrive. Can adia n-l ndia n lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today there are only 350,000 Can adia n-l ndia ns in the whole country, with their own Ianguage. In the far north live the Inuits. There are only 27,000 Can adia n-l nuits. Their life is hard in such a harsh climate.29. What is the population of Quebec?A. More than 29,000,000B.

Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. The Can adia n flag is twice as wide as its len gthB. Most Indians are now forced to live along the coastC. Nowadays In uit still have difficult livi ng con diti onsD. Nobody existed whe n the Europea ns bega n to arrive in Can adaMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocketmoney). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn thehard way that spending must be done within a budget( 预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.32.
