Vancouver's Chinatown is the second biggest Chinatown in North America's, after San Francisco's. Mandarin and Cantonese are the mother tongues in 30 percent of Vancouver homes, which makes Chinese the largest“minority”ethnic (人种的)group. There are lots of interesting markets with many varieties of fresh and dried seafood and mushrooms. You'll also find inexpensive house ware(家用器皿)and traditional Chinese medicine.
Vancouver's Chinatown is also a popular tourist attraction and wealthy commercial district. Its busy streets are full of color and commerce(商业); even the tower-topped telephone booths add to the atmosphere. During the summer, on weekend evenings, Keefer and Pender Streets become a busy open-air night market. Shop displays spill onto the pavements. The Sam Kee Building in Pender Street is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records(吉尼斯世界记录)as being the narrowest building in the world, at only six-foot (two metres) wide. Another main attraction in Chinatown is the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, which was built in 1986 at a cost of $ 5.3 million with the craftsmen(工匠)and materials all imported from China.Next door to the Garden is the Chinese Cultural Centre with gates hand-painted in traditional color.
In the past, Chinatown was regarded as nothing more than a ghetto site(贫民窟).Chinese immigrants first arrived on the province during the 1850s, when the Fraser Gold rush occurred. Many Chinese laborers were imported to build the railway tracks with terrible working conditions and low pay. Many years had passed Chinese Canadians were finally granted citizenship in 1947.
Modern Chinatown is filled with many shops that sell various herbs, sweet cakes and other items. Eating in Chinatown is not only unique but also rewarding, as you will be presented with an assortment of tasty dishes. The atmosphere in any restaurant is always busy so be patient when you are eating there. It is considered common polite behavior to pay a tip to the waiters who are serving even though it is not in the Chinese custom to accept tips.

Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded (入侵)by a small frog called the coqui (ko--kee). There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the southeastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.
The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Florida. Their number has sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaii Islands hidden in plants.
The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mates. The call of the male coqui sounds like. Ko kee! Ko kee!
In the southeastern United States, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been considered as a harmful animal. The coqui frogs are a major danger to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects (昆虫)every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. The insects also are important food for Hawaii’s native rare birds. The frogs also are affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have been annoyed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep.
The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport ,sell or release(释放)the frogs there.
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. For now, the frogs may only be caught by hand. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the greatest danger to the economy and environment of the state is from harmful species, like the coqui.
The statement that can best summarize the main idea of the passage is .
A.the coqui invaders have seriously affected the tourism industry in Hawaii
B.it is not permitted to transport, sell or release the coqui frogs in Hawaii
C.the coqui invasion has serious effects on the economy and environment in Hawaii
D.great efforts have been made by the Hawaii people to kill the coqui
The coqui frogs originally arrived in Hawaii .
A.by chance B.at the request of all the local citizens
C.as a gift D.as goods demanded in the local market
Visitors to Hawaii don’t like the coqui frogs mainly because .
A.they are a big danger to the environmental system there
B.the loud noise made by the frogs bother their rest at night
C.they affect the reproduction of the local plants and insects
D.visitors could no longer see the native rare birds because of them
The two factors leading to the rapid spread of coqui frogs in Hawaii are .
A.the frogs’ habit and the environment in Hawaii
B.the large number of the insects and the plants in Hawaii
C.the geographic location of Hawaii and its tourism industry
D.the warm weather there and the frogs’ lack of natural enemies
