The Canadia
27、n transcontinental railway, along with the citys Great While Fleet of ships, gave Vancouver a full weeks edge over the California ports in shipping tea and silk to New York at the end of the 19th century. For its original people, the Coast Salish people, Vancouver was the sacred spot where the mythi
28、cal Thunderbird and Killer Whale threw wind and rain all about the heavens during their brave battles. How else to explain the coasts changeable weather? Devotees of a later religious（宗教） tradition might worship in the bushes of Stanley Park or Christ Cathedral, the citys oldest church. Vancouver, w
29、ith a large population of 2 million, is developing. The mild climate, beautiful natural scenery, and relaxed outdoor lifestyle is attracting many to settle British Columbias business center, and the number of visitors is increasing for the reasons. Many people get their first sight of Vancouver when
30、 catching an Alaskan cruise, and many return at some point to spend more time here. 56. It can be inferred from the passage that A. the cities in North America usually have a long history B.

34、an Chinese, Chinese eat better. Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand. A whole new world of food has been opened up to me. Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals（惯例） associated with eating. For example,
35、 shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebodys teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave. There than be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may
36、be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption of food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me! More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigners to a meal. They told me that the foreigner was not appre
37、ciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please. Having played the part of foreigner at more one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from. I myself have felt very uncomfortable some of the dinners I have invited to. One time I was invited to a d
38、inner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin. Its menu was based on seafood. I was still relatively new to the concept that your fish would be brought live to your table. In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand. Something we dont like is considering what our food looks like before the
39、 actual consumption（吃喝）. However, having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some the selections for the evening meal. I hesitated at the scorpions, but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they are tasty. The meal was winding its way along without any problems
40、. Then they brought out the lobster. I looked at it and then looked it again and that it was still moving! It had been brought out live to show that out raw lobster was indeed very fresh. At the point, I nearly lost it. It took all my composure for me to stay seated at the table and not hurl myself
41、in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes. Now the interesting thing is when I tell that story to foreigner, the reaction is always the same: Horror, sympathy, shock. When I tell the same story to a Chinese, they dont understand my point of view. In fact, I often think that th
42、ey believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact that a lobster had serve live at the table. 60. According to the author of the passage, its the Chinese custom A. to fill somebodys teacup all the way up B. not to fill somebodys teacup full C. not to fill somebodys teacup

We hired a guide to take us up the river to our next destination at Siem Reap. This was t
46、o be a six-hour trop followed by crossing Lake Sap, the largest lake in central Asia. Battambang is an extremely poor area, and our mode of transportation was a very small, old boat not much larger than the there of us. With six bags tied to the front of the boat, four travelers, and the boatman, I
47、figured we were overloaded by at least a ton. We frequently had seen four or five people on a single motorbike. So no one but us was concerned about our weight. We had been on the water only a few minutes when our pilot made for shore and jumped from our boat to another. Our guide said not to worry;
48、 he would only be a minute. He added, “We need to pick up live children for their legs.” My wife and I exchanged glances. We are pretty open-minded, especially when traveling to a third-world country. It was obvious there was little room in our tiny vessel for chickens. If we had to take them along, we were willing to hold them on our legsthere was no place else to put them. The tho
