Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the world’s 24 time areas(时区) as well.
There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of Canadians speak French. In one province（省份）of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all done in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial（非官方的） language in Canada.
Canada's climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperatures that can reach over 30℃ regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. As the cold northern climate, only one–fifth of the land is suitable for farming.
As it is known to all, Canada has one–third of the world's supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south, and there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.
People of northern Canada are called Inuit（因纽特人）, who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now they live in settlements. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for many more centuries.
( )38. Canada is the second largest country with a population of about_________.
A. 24 million B. 29 million C. 50 million D.15 million ( )39. Inuit who live in settlements now came from _______.
A. Asia B. Africa C.America D. Europe ( )40. Which statement about Inuit is NOT right?
A. They settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago.
B. Dogs could help them pull their baggage when they had to travel years ago. C. They can teach their own young children according to the new school project. D. The way of Inuit life may disappear in the future. ( )41. From the passage we can know______.
A. Canada lies in the south of America.
B. Canada is an immigrant（移民的）and multilingual (多语种) country. C. The weather in Canada is so cold the whole year as some people think.
D. The Canadian government pays little attention to Inuit’s education.

Jupiter’s Moons and How They Travel
The many moons of Jupiter travel around the planet in different directions. Jupiter（木星） is the largest planet in our solar system. Over the years, scientists have found that Jupiter has its own small solar system. Earth has one moon. Jupiter has at least sixteen and probably more.
Since there are so many moons, scientists began to number them. The numerals (numbers) tell the sequence, or order, in which the moons were found. They were slower to name the moons. All of Jupiter’s moons now have a name as well as a number.
The first five moons to be discovered are known as the “inner moons”. But they are not the closest to the planet. The closest is only 127,600 kilometers away from Jupiter. All the inner moons circle the planet in counter-clockwise direction, that is, opposite of the hands of a clock.
Jupiter’s middle group of moons are at least 11,100,000 kilometers from the planet. They also move in a counter-clockwise motion (moving). The four farthest moons are at least
20,700,000 kilometers away. These are called “outer moons”. They circle in a clockwise motion.
