Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly from China to Vancouver and to take the train from west to east across Canada in September. The idea that they would cross the whole continent was exciting.
Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting for them at the airport. He was going to take them to catch ‘The True North’, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he told them, ‘You’re going to see great scenery on your trip. Canada is bigger than the United States. It is second biggest country in the world and as you go eastward, you will see mountains and pass thousands of lakes, forests and wide rivers as well as cities. The idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days is just wrong. It is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you are in the warmest part of Canada. Many people think it is the most beautiful city in Canada, as it is surrounded by mountains on the north and east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Its population is increasing very rapidly, because the mountain-and-sea city is a very popular place to live in. Even people from Japan come to settle down here.
That afternoon on the train the cousins settled down in their seats. They crossed the Rocky Mountains earlier that day and looked out of the windows at the wild scenery. They saw mountain goats and even a grizzly bear. Their next stop would be Calgary. The Calgary Stampede is a famous Western festival, Cowboys come from all over North America to compete in riding wild horses. Many of them have a gift for working with animals and they can win thousands of dollars in prizes.
That night, they slept as the train rushed through the night across the top of Lake Superior. through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.

The giant Sequoia trees in California grip tightly into the floor,but with shallow root,with little depth.Constantly challenging the natural elements and fighting off destruction,the giant Sequoia is "king of the forest".These trees are so tall and strong that eventually they become their own worst enemy.For you see,the Sequoia can resist lightning, storm,and wind,but eventually their roots cannot support their own weight and strength.After hundreds or thousands of years,they tumble to the ground like giant skyscrapers that have fallen from their bases after powerful explosives are detonated(引爆).
In many ways,many of us are like those giant Sequoias,so proud,so bit,so strong,withstanding wind and fire,yet not allowing our roots to seek deep into life's meaning.Many people have only shallow roots in soft ground,leaving them constantly on the edge of falling over to their destruction.
The first step we should take is to anchor ourselves with the firm intention of establishing strong roots of life and belief.We must trust the ground we stand on,and allow ourselves to plant the rich seeds of passion into our life's soil,nurturing it with the rain of love and joy,then allowing the fertilizer to soak into the very "veins" of the roots, leading to the trunk's healthy development.We've all seen many men with a strong trunk but no roots.They place the material dimension of wealth and finance above their own roots and foundational beliefs.They become so heavy with possessions,money,and the burden of wealth that they finally fall over as the giant Sequoia uproots itself and self-destructs.
1.The Sequoia is called "king of the forest" because it .
A. grips tightly into the forest floor B. grows to be very tall and strong

Does every important present come in a big package? As the holiday season approaches, most of us are looking for the perfect gift, ready to give whatever we can afford, hoping to please the ones we love.
This morning, my son responded to my e?mail, in which I had mentioned his Christmas list. To my surprise, he didn't tell me what was on his list—rather he opted to tell what was not, such as more sweaters or button?downs.
“I have 3x more of shirts than I could ever possibly wear,” he wrote.
I laughed, not only at my silly assumption but also at the frank and sensitive way he'd told me I'd been missing the boat. In my attempts to be generous, I'd merely been repetitive.
It hurts to admit this naturally, but the truth is that if I'd been visiting him more frequently, I'd know he has too many shirts in his drawers with the tags still on them. But because he is living so far away, I just don't know what exactly he wears on a daily basis.
Perhaps if I paid him and his wife a visit, we could share takeout in their apartment. Laugh together. Talk about something. It would be a big gift in a small package, requiring only a plane flight and some time.
Of course, this present could come at any time of the year. I am thinking about the idea now because it's December, when thinking about perfect presents for those we love occupies our thoughts quite a bit. We are troubling ourselves with the idea of perfection, sometimes losing sight of the point of it all, which is simply to make one another happy.
So maybe under our Christmas tree this year there will be a package wrapped in red and green with my son's name on it. Inside will be a plane ticket to JFK in my name. Wouldn't that be perfect?
1.What did the author realize after reading her son's e?mail?
A. Her son didn't think she was generous.
B. She ignored her son's inner feelings.
C. She missed out her son's development.
D. She didn't buy her son proper presents.
2.Which of following can best replace the underlined word “opted” in Paragraph 2?
A. Chose. B. Promised.
C. Refused. D. Pretended.
3.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Small presents also count B. Presents—symbol of love
C. Big presents in little packages D. Presents—a bond between people
