  Vancouver is a young city, even by North American standards.It was not yet a town when British Columbia became part of the Canadian confederation(联盟)in 1871.The city’s history, such as it is, remains visible to the naked eye:Periods of history are formed in a neat pile from east to west along the waterfront, from cobblestone late-Victorian Gastown to shiny postmodern glass cathedrals(大教堂)of commerce.

  The Chinese, among the first to recognize the possibilities of Vancouver’s setting, came to British Columbia during the 1850s seeking the gold that inspired them to name the province Gum-shan, or Gold Mountain.As laborers, they built the Canadian Pacific Railway, giving Vancouver a purpose-one beyond natural scenery that Royal Navy captain George Vancouver admired during his lunchtime cruise(巡游)around its harbor on June 13, 1792.The Canadian transcontinental railway, along with the city’s Great White Fleet of ships, gave Vancouver a full week’s edge over the California ports in shipping tea and silk to New York at the end of the 19th century.

  For its original people, the Coast Salish people, Vancouver was the sacred spot where the mythical(神话)Thunderbird and Killer Whale threw wind and rain all about the heavens during their brave battles.How else to explain the coast’s changeable weather? Devotees of a later religious(宗教)tradition might worship in the bushes of Stanley Park or Christ Church Cathedral, the city’s oldest church.

  Vancouver, with a large population of about 2 million, is developing.The mild climate, beautiful natural scenery, and relaxed outdoor lifestyle is attracting many people to settle in British Columbia’s business center, and the number of visitors is increasing for the same reasons.Many people get their first sight of Vancouver when catching an Alaskan cruise, and many return at some point to spend more time there.

The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside.
There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long.
There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures.
Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater:The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass.
It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed.
Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere.
“And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled.
This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film.
Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films.
Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time.
Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions.
“We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan.
Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene.
【小题1】. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________.

A.living in Broome is inconvenient
B.the life in Broome is boring
C.few people like to live in Broome
