      Over the years，people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world．They are from most European countries and also from China，besides other Asian countries．
      However，Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive．Canadian Indians lived along the coast，by the rivers and lakes and in forests．Today there are only about 350，000 Indians in the whole country，with their own languages．In the far north live the Inuit．There are only 27，000 Canadian-Inuit．Their life is hard in such a difficult climate．

    分析 本文是一篇说明文．文章介绍了世界第二大国加拿大的居住人口的情况．

    解答 25．C　细节理解题．由第一段Nearly 30%  are of French origin．Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec．可知，加拿大约有29，000，000人口，其中30%具有法国血统，而这些人大部分住在魁北克省，故住在魁北克省的French Canadians大约有8，700，000．
    26．A   细节理解题，根据and French is an official language of Canada as well as English可知加拿大的官方语言是英语和法语，故选A．
    27．C　细节理解题．根据文中最后一段的描述Today there are only about 350，000 Indians in the whole country，with their own languages．In the far north live the Inuit．There are only 27，000 Canadian-Inuit．Their life is hard in such a difficult climate．可排除A、D两项；B项文章没有提及．根据第一段Nearly 30%  are of French origin．可知30%具有法国血统，故只有C项正确．

    5．Sit up straight．Say please and thank you．Don't put your elbows on the table．Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette．But manners and etiquette （33）canvary widely in different cultures．
    Take table manners for example．In many parts of the world，it's considered rude to make noises when eating．The Japanese，however，think it customary to make some slurping（啧啧的） noises while eating noodles．They say the noodles taste better．A person who eats noodles （34）withoutmaking any sound could seem strange in Japan．
    Another interesting cultural difference is portrayed in a TV advertisement （35）set（set） in an Asian city．It shows an Asian family inviting a westerner to dinner．The Asians prepare a lot of food to show the guest （36）theyare hospitable（殷勤好客的）．Westerners are taught to"clean their plates"and think it's impolite to leave food in the dishes．So the guest tries to finish his meal without leaving （37）anythingon his dishes．However，an Asian host sees an empty dish as a sign （38）thatthe guest wants more food．In the ad，the host immediately prepares more food for the guest，who tries to finish his food again just to show his manners．It becomes a circle of misunderstanding．
    Differences are also seen in other aspects．While extending a hand to shake the hand of a person you're meeting with （39）seems（seem） to most of us a universal way of showing friendliness，an Orthodox Jew （东正犹太教徒） will not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex．Similarly，a strict Muslim woman will not shake hands with a man，though a Muslim man will shake hands with a non-Muslim woman．People in these cultures generally avoid （40）touching（touch） people of the opposite sex who are not family members．

    10．It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave．（31）G But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages？Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body？
    Scientists have recently tackled these questions．They found that when a person is looking at your face，she might not believe what she sees of your body language matches the feeling that your face shows．
    （32）BPreviously，they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken．For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，"I'm so excited．"
    When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language，most scientists suspected that the face was more important．To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies（with faces blurred out） that showed anger or fear．（33）FAn angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips．A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth．（34）EA scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend．
    These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people．Even when people pay attention to the face，body language subtly influences which emotion they read．（35）D And if you want to be understood，it helps to avoid sending mixed messages．
    A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people．
    B．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists．
    C．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds．
    D．So，your body language is important for telling people how you feel．
    E．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle，as if ready to fight．
    F．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies．
    G．When you do this，your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them．

    8．The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old．By 2050，it's projected to be one out of 5．This means that not only will there be more old people，but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them．
    Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics．"Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly，"he said．
    Aging populations consume （消耗） more and produce less．With more people living longer，it could get expensive．But Mr．Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning，it can be manageable．
    Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly，but each carries a cost．Generally，there are three types of support．Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger．They can rely on their family to take care of them，or they can rely on the government．
    In industrialized nations，governments created publicly-funded （公共资助的） support systems．These worked relatively well until recent years，when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems'finances．These nations now face some tough choices．Mr．Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money，retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable．
    Most developing nations haven't built this type of government-funded support，but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly．These nations also generally have a much younger population，which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations．But Mr．Lee says that doesn't mean they can ignore the issue．"Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process，to population aging and how it may affect their economies-now，before population aging even becomes an issue，"he explained．
    29．"Aging"in this text meansD．
    A．there are more young people than old people
    B．an increasing number of old people are dying
    C．more and more young people are growing old
    D．the percentage of old people in the world is increasing
    30．What is Professor Richard Lee's attitude towards population aging？B
    A．Indifferent．
    B．Negative．
    C．Optimistic．
    D．Worried．
    31．The publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nationsA．
    A．are facing the risk of failing
    B．have failed to provide support for the old
    C．will be replaced by other support systems
    D．have greatly affected the nations'economies
    32．We can infer from the text that developing nationsB．
    A．don't see population aging as an issue
    B．should prepare for population aging．
    C．are facing urgent situations of population aging
    D．have better ways to deal with population aging．

    5．Spending as little as  5a day on someone else could significantly（较大地） boost happiness，the team at the University of British Columbia found．
    Their experiments on more than 630Americans showed they were measurably （可测量出） happier when they spent money on others-even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier．
    "We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn，"said Elizabeth Dunn，a psychologist（心理学家） at the University of British Columbia．They asked their 600volunteers first to rate （评估） their general happiness，report their annual income （年收入） and detail their monthly spending including bills，gifts for themselves，gifts for others and donations to charity．
    "No matter how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness，while those who spent more on themselves did not，"Dunn said in a statement．
    Dunn's team also surveyed 16employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus（红利）of between  3，000and  8，000．"Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial （支持社会） spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus，and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself，"they wrote in their report，published in the journal Science．
    They gave their volunteers  5or  20and half and clear instructions on how to spend it．Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it．
    "These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations （津贴）-as little as $ 5-may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，"Dunn said．
    32．What is the general idea of the passage？D
    A．The more you earn，the greater happiness you will get．
    B．Spending more money on yourself will make you happier．
    C．You can spend only  5a day on someone else to get happiness．
    D．If you spend money on someone else，you will feel happier．
    33．The underlined word"boost"in the first paragraph probably meansB．
    A．help to find    B．help to increase  C．help to bring  D．help to get
    34．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？C
    A．Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness．
    B．People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier．
    C．Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus．
    D．Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn．
    35．Dunn isA．
    A．a psychologist at a university      
    B． an employee in a company
    C．a reporter in a journal            
    D．a volunteer in the experiment．
