2014春季人教版新课标必修3U5精英教案（7） （新人教版必修3）Unit5《Canada—“The True North”》 Period 7 Revision Summing up and learning tip整体设计 We spent the next three days based in Paihia,in the famous Bay of Islands.Although Paihia is only a town,it is a good base for exploring the northern part of the Northland.We spent one day in nearby Waitangi,visiting the site(地点) of the first European settlerments and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi,which created New Zealand as it is today.

On the way back,we stopped in several small villages and towns,each of which seemed more Shire-like.We had almost forgotten that this was Lord of The Rings land,but in the rolling green hills of the central northland,we remembered that Bilbo Baggins and company could have lived here,too. 60Which may tell the main idea of the passage?
