To help you out, we’ve collected our favorite must-see events across Canada. Ready, steady, go!‎ Red or white?‎ Every spring wine growers get together to celebrate the beginning of another grape-growing season at the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival. The best time to visit the Okanagan is usually from May 1 to 10. The festival allows visitors to taste the best wines in Canada together with unique dishes representing the latest developments in local cuisine.‎ The jazz festival Montreal’s downtown comes alive every summer during the International Jazz Festival. This year the event is scheduled to run from June 29 to July 9. Stages replace cars along busy streets. With a host of free outdoor shows, you’ll be snapping your fingers (打响指) to anything from Dixieland to blues, African beats to modern trip-hop, and everything in between.‎ Are you ready?‎ Just head east to the Newfoundland Targa Rally, which runs from September 9 to 16 this year. The 2,200-kilometre race dashes across the eastern and central parts of the province, and is the largest race of its kind in North America.

These gifts were a thank-you to Canadian soldiers who helped set Holland free in World War II. Since then, the capital has become home to the Canadian Tulip Festival. From May 4 to 22, Ottawa and Gatineau (a city of southwest Quebec) will be covered with beautiful flowers. Besides three million tulips, visitors can also attend concerts, featuring some of Canada’s brightest musical stars. ‎ ‎1.

And it wasn’t until I met a very bossy person that I understood how they felt!‎ My school was holding a fundraiser (募捐活动) called the Spring Fling Fair, and everyone was going to help out. I was pretty excited about it. There were lots of committees to choose from, and I chose games and activities, which sounded like fun.‎ But every time we got together, a guy named Peter did the same thing. He never seemed to realize that he was part of a team with three other people.‎ At last, it was the day of the Spring Fling Fair, and we were all running around getting ready.‎ ‎“You need to make the horseshoes sign hang straighter,” Peter commanded.‎ ‎“Would you please do it yourself?” I said. “I’m kind of busy organizing the prizes.”‎ ‎“There are way too many pink balloons on the wall,” Peter complained. “You should add more blue ones.”‎ ‎“Feel free to go ahead and add them,” Mike said.‎ The best (or maybe the worst) example of Peter’s bossiness happened when the Spring Fling Fair finally started. A cute little girl was fishing for a prize, and Peter grabbed (抢夺) the fishing pole right out of her hands!‎ ‎“You’re holding it all wrong,” he told her. “Do it like this!”‎ This little girl looked up at Peter, took a big breath, and said, “That may be the right way for you to do it, but it’s not the right way for me.”‎ And that was probably the best thing this little girl could have said. ‎ The good part of this experience is that it helped me understand how my brother and sister felt when I told them what to do and didn’t stop to be polite or consider their feelings. Now I try to be more patient and less bossy, and we get along much better.‎ ‎5. On the day of the Spring Fling Fair, Peter _____.‎ A. had a great time B. kept giving orders ‎ C. was chosen as the leader D. was running around getting ready ‎6.

After the Spring Fling Fair, the author _____.‎ A. changed her attitude towards her brother and sister ‎ B. became friends with the cute little girl C. got involved in more fundraisers ‎ D. broke up with Peter ‎ C My name is Nathan and I’m 9. I was one of a few kids in our school chosen to attend We Day in Toronto last month and it was the best time of my life!‎ We Day is an event bringing together thousands of youth sharing their encouraging stories. When I went to We Day, I was really inspired (鼓舞) to make a change in the world by Spencer West. Spencer inspired me to collect money with his story of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro even though he has no legs. I came home from We Day with a We Create Change Penny Bag and wanted to get started right away. I went door to door with my dad, used Facebook and emailed everyone asking for pennies to help bring about change around the world. I also asked all of my family and friends that came over, and people I knew in stores and at school for pennies.‎ I made a penny jar for people to put their pennies in. Some people gave me little jars and bags of pennies and others just a few but it all added up! In just one weekend ‎ I collected enough coins to fill up my first bag of pennies. Because it was so easy I ordered two more bags and continued collecting. Now I have almost 8,000 pennies for clean water!‎ My goal is to fill four bags by Christmas and another four by the end of the school year. That’s 20,000 pennies and I’m almost half way there already! I can’t believe that just by collecting $‎25 in pennies, I can provide clean water for one person for the rest of their life! And, by meeting my goal of eight bags of pennies I will be giving two families clean water for life!‎ It’s great fun to collect change and create change. I hope some of you will see how easy and what fun this is and create change too. Every penny helps！‎ ‎9.

The author writes the text mainly to _____.‎ A. tell readers how he saves money B. explain why he attended We Day C. call on readers to help those in need ‎ D. entertain readers with interesting experiences ‎ D Some scientists who study animal behavior believe that wolves are ancestors of dogs. Another theory is that dogs are the animal cousins of wolves, with dogs and wolves sharing a common ancestor. For this reason, the study of wolf behavior has proven to be helpful in understanding the actions of dogs.‎ Single wolves and small groups of wolves can eat some of their prey (猎物) at a time. In fact, one adult wolf can eat the food that equals 176 quarter-pound hamburgers in a day! However, large prey such as cattle can be more meat than a small group of wolves can consume. Rather than leave the food for other animals, the wolves bury their leftovers (剩余的) and dig them up the next day for another meal. Dogs follow this behavior when they bury bones.‎ Wolves bark to warn their members of a possible threat. A wolf’s bark tells the adults in the group to hide their kids and prepare for action. Dogs’ barks are also warnings to their human family. But a barking dog is not necessarily getting ready to attack. The barking is simply telling others to be cautious. ‎ Whether dogs will attack an unwelcome stranger depends on the dog’s training and personality. Almost every dog, however, views its human owners as members of its group. Dogs, like wolves, are protective of their members and prefer to stay together for safety. That’s why dogs like to sleep with their owners. Sharing a bed with a dog may be against the rules in some homes, but keeping the dog in the basement or in a kennel (狗窝) isn’t wise either. In the wild, only wolves that have been driven away sleep away from the group. A dog that is forced to sleep alone will start to feel and act like an outcast. ‎ ‎13. The main purpose of the text is to _____.‎ A. study wolves’ behavior B. compare wolves with dogs C. explain the actions of dogs D. find the ancestors of wolves and dogs ‎14. According to wolves’ behavior, dogs bury bones because _____.‎ A. they like eating bones best B. they will leave them for other dogs C. they consider it an interesting game D. they treat them as leftovers to be saved ‎15. The underlined part “an outcast” in the last paragraph refers to the one who _____.‎ A. feels hungry            B. becomes lost C. is abandoned            D. is energetic ‎ E 根据对话内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。‎ Fish come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors. They first appeared in the oceans of the earth about 500 million years ago. Today there are tens of thousands of different kinds of fish and new species are discovered every year. ‎ Where fish live ‎  16   They preferably live in areas where warm and cold currents meet.
