话题导入 Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French.There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec—is known as “French Canada”．This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest. Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country，and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since. Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country.Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast，French television is very rare. The same goes for ，for example.Outside of Quebec，there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French.And in restaurants，it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of “French Canada”． However，all products sold in Canada must，by law，have labels and instructions in both languages. In Canada’s English-speaking provinces，official bilingualism(双语) means that students can choose to complete a special French language course.Under this programme，they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten or Grade One，it is likely that all their lessons will be in French.However，if they start at junior high school,25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English. 根据上文完成下列各题 1．Where can you watch French television programmes? In Quebec and a few other places. 2．Which country ruled Canada before its independence? Britain. 3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(no more than 5 words) traffic signs and menus Period One　Warming Up Reading Ⅰ.单词 1．v.chat聊天 measure测量 surround包围 2．n.quiz测验 minister大臣 continent洲，大陆 baggage行李 scenery风景 harbour海港 border边界 acre英亩 eagle鹰 3．adj.Canadian加拿大的 prime首要的 eastward向东的 westward向西的 upward向上的 slight轻微的 urban城市的 multicultural多种文化的 Ⅱ.短语 1．与其；不愿rather than 2．定居
