4．Some people have travelled to Canada while others may have just heard of it．As is known to all，the Canadian red and white mildly leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada．The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11points on a white background，with red borders down 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．Canada is a very large country，too．It is the second largest country in the world．By contrast，it has a very small population．There are only about 29million people there．Most Canadians are of British or French origin，and French is an official language 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 origin．Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec．Over the years，people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world．They are mostly from European countries and also from China，as well as other Asian countries．
However，Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive．Canadian-Indian lived along the coast，by the rivers and lakes and in forests．Today there are only 350 000Canadian-Indians in the whole country，with their own language．In the far north live the Inuits．There are only 27 000Canadian-Inuits．Their life is hard in such a harsh climate．

3．Pool Safety Tips for Kids
On a hot summer day，there are few things that are more appealing than a nice cool pool．（36）EAnd it is completely relaxing．Of course，if you have children，there are certain safety measures you should take，whether you have a pool in your backyard or are going to a public pool．
Go swimming together．No person should ever swim alone．Though many people do，the simple truth is that it only takes a second to become injured or drown．（37）FHaving someone there with you can make the difference between life and death．This is especially true for young children．If your child is under the age of 5，you should never allow them to swim out of arm's length．
（38）AKids love to chase one another through the water．But it is important that you emphasize to your children that at no time should they be running around the pool or pushing anyone．In the water，teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings，so that they do not accidentally knock into others，injuring them．Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous．
Keep it locked．If you own a pool，you must have a locking gate around your pool．
（39）D Keep the gate locked at all times，even when you are physically in the pool．It is terrible for children to steal into the pool．
Know the way out．（40）BMake sure that they know where all ladders are，and that you teach them to use them for entering and exiting the pool safely．Although your child may be able to lift herself or himself out of the pool using the side，that is not the safest way to go．

2．Food，football and fashion-Milan has it a11．The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo，the theme of which is food and nutrition．
Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy．Rome is the most famous city in Italian history，Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers．Yet Milan can often be left off tourists'lists．But although some see Milan as the"ugly sister"of these cities，according to Lonely Planet，in 2015the city is"suddenly back in fashion in a big way"．
The Milan Expo will look at the future of food，trying to answer the question of how Earth's fast-growing population can be fed in the future．According to Lonely Planet website．"144countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan，forming a mini city-within-a-city"．
Milan's famous opera house，La Scala，normally closed in the summer，will also host daily performances during the expo，reported Fox News．
Not interested in opera？Don't worry．Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium，home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years，both in Serie A and the European Champions League．
So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem"soulless"，as Lonely Planet said．it still has"a serious sense of history and place"．Many people will be discovering it this year，and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems．Will you？

1．Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years，though scientists aren't sure exactly how long．But a new study indicates that a skull（颅骨） of a snow leopard（豹） relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4million years old．That makes it the oldest big cat fossil（化石） ever found．
A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet．This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats，but it is closely related to the snow leopard，study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press．The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there．
Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own．Big cats include snow leopards，clouded leopards，tigers and lions．Based on genetic judgements，most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia．But previously，the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6million years old and found in Africa．
The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B：Biological Sciences．Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010when they discovered some bones，including the buried cat skull．The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil．The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard，which can grow up to 50pounds．In 2012，the team returned to unearth more cat bones．
David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is"convincingly older than the current record holder"．He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover．

24．What does the newly unearthed skull proveA？
A．Big cats might have their origins in Asia．
B．The oldest fossil is 4.4million years old．
C．The snow leopard is the oldest big cat．

18．The Cunning Cat and His Company
The Cat was nine years old．To celebrate his birthday，he sent out（61）invitations （invite） to all his neighbors．
Everyone was glad to go．Next Monday at 5o'clock in the afternoon，the Cat's neighbors began arriving．（62）By half past five the room was full（63）wherethere were all sorts of birds，sparrows，swallows，woodpeckers and （64）other small animals．
"Welcome，"said the Cat．"It （65）promises （promise） to be a wonderful party．I can't tell you how（66）pleased （please） I am to see you all．Make yourselves at home．"
"Thank you，"they said．"But where's the entertainment？"
"You，"said the Cat，smiling．"I expect you to entertain yourselves as well as me．"
They were somewhat surprised，（67）but they did not want to displease the Cat．So the birds chirped，sang their （68）latest （late） songs，circled in midair，dived from the ceiling．The squirrels and chipmunks made up a game of hide-and-seek．Then they grew tired．They also grew hungry．
"And now，"they said，"Where's the dinner？"
"You again，"said the Cat，（69）locking （lock） the door．"You are the dinner．"And，one by one，he began to eat the guests．
Next morning，all that （70）was left （leave） of the Cat's party was a large heap of fur and feathers．
Don't put your trust in fancy promises．

17．Mike was dying to apply for a new job，but he was unconfident of himself，for he thought of himself as a （41）failure （fail） and unworthy of success．He believed that the other applicants were better and more （42）qualified （qualify） than him．
Mike's mind was occupied with negative thoughts and fears concerning （43）the job．When the day for the interview （44）came （come），he got up late and went to the interview hurriedly，in dirty clothes and with messy hair．He was unsure of getting the job．
It so happened that Jim was competing for the job，too，but he approached the matter in a（45）completely （complete） different way．Before the interview，he had made full preparations for everything needed．He dressed himself decently and behaved properly in the interview，（46）leaving （leave） a favorable impression on the interviewer．Expectedly，Jim（47）was informed （ inform） that he got the job eventually．
Remember：Sometimes your appearance is a mirror，（48）which reflects your quality in a way．Also，your state of mind counts．People with positive attitude are more likely（49）to succeed （succeed） than （50）those with negative attitude．

16．A pupil's diary describing how his mother （61）who/thatwas addicted to her cell phone ignored his efforts to express his gratitude for her on International Women's Day has become a hit．
The third-grade primary school boy wrote the diary on March 8，a day when China holds various （62）activities （activity） to promote respect and love of women．In the diary，he wrote that he first told a story to his mother，but she seemed uninterested and stared into her cell phone（63）devotedly （devote）．Sad but not discouraged，he then recited some blessings，yet his mother remained occupied with her handset．（64）Seeing （see） that，he chose to massage（按摩） her back．"My mother was still looking at her cell phone，（65）without a sign of a smile on her face，and I felt even（66）sadder （sad），"he wrote in the diary"Heart-broken Women's Day"．His mother felt ashamed after reading the diary and（67）made （make） up her mind to spend more quality time with her son．
（68）An interview with students found nearly 70percent say（69）their （they） parents are often absorbed in the phones．Parents are urged to pay close attention to family education because it（70）is （be） they who are the first teachers to influence children．

15．Sometimes the targets we set（61）ourselves （us） are just too high．We think that we will be better people in the future．Just as we are （62）easily （easy） taken over by the planning fallacy（谬见），believing that we can complete a large project for work in an afternoon，we think in the future we will be better-organised and more self-disciplined．
One of the most （63）famous （fame） examples of the planning fallacy is（64）thatof the Oxford English Dictionary．In 1860plans were in place to complete it within three years．In 1879there was a new deal to publish in within a decade，but after five years they had only got so far（65）asthe word"ant"．It Was finally completed in 1928．by（66）whichtime it was considered out of date and revisions began at once．
The same thing happens when it comes to （67）trying （ try） to change our lifestyles．We read about a new idea and that optimism fires up all over again．At the University of Toronto Janet Polivy has been studying what she calls．"false hope syndrome"．
She found that People set themselves unrealistic targets which they undoubtedly failed to reach，leaving them feeling even （68）worse （bad） about themselves．Some of the students she studied had tried and failed for 10years to make the same （69）changes（change） in their lives，but each year they （70）were convinced （convince） that this time it would work．
