Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. It is larger than the USA and reaches nearly a quarter of the way round the earth. The distance from east to west is over 5,500 kilometres and the country covers six of the world's 24 time zones. However, its population, about 33.8 million, is only about one-fifth of Russia's. Nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200 km of the border with the United States, which means that Canada contains vast expanses (宽阔的区域) of wilderness to the north. Canada's native peoples make up less than two percent of the population.

The weather is different from area to area. In the north, the winters are long and hard, with snow for six months of the year. The temperature can fall to －60 ℃. The west coast of Canada is the warmest place in winter. The average January temperature is 3 ℃， and in July it is 18 ℃. Here it rains a lot every month of the year. Plants grow well all the year round and the parks and gardens are famous for their flowers.

Canada has one third of the world's supply of fresh water. There are five great lakes in the south, and there are many others, especially in the north. Most of the electricity is produced by water. The country hasa great deal ofcoal, oil and natural gas, and these are all exploited (开发) for energy.

“真北方”之旅

[第1～2段译文]

李黛予和她的表妹刘倩要去加拿大大西洋海岸的蒙特利尔市看望她们的表兄妹。她们不想一路乘飞机，而决定先飞到温哥华，再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。要横贯整个大陆的想法很是令人兴奋。

她们的朋友林丹尼正在机场等候她们。他要带着她们和她们的行李去乘坐横越加拿大的“真北方”号列车。在去火车站的路上，他聊起了她们的旅程。“你们将会看到一些美丽壮阔的风景。一路向东行，你们会经过一座座山脉，上千个湖泊、森林，还有宽阔的河流和许多大城市。有人想在不到5天的时间里穿越加拿大，但是他们忘了加拿大从东海岸到西海岸共有5 500千米的事实。这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。人们说它(温哥华)是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大山和太平洋环绕。在落基山脉可以滑雪，海港供你们扬帆，这些使得温哥华成为加拿大最受欢迎的居住城市之一。这个城市的人口增长很快。在温哥华北面的海岸上保存着一些世界上最古老、最美丽的森林。那儿湿度很大，所以树长得特别高，一些经测量高达90多米。”

[第3～5段译文]

那天下午表姐妹俩登上火车落了座。那天早些时候，当她们穿越落基山脉时，她们总算看到了一些野山羊，甚至还看到了一只灰熊和一只鹰。她们的下一站是卡尔加里，这个城市因“大西部赛马会”而闻名。来自世界各地的牛仔们来参加赛马会比赛。他们中许多人都有骑野马的才能，他们能赢得几千美元的奖金。

两天的旅行以后，这两个女孩开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。她们在学校就已经学过，大多数加拿大人居住在靠近美国几百千米以内的边境地带，加拿大的人口也只有三千万多一点儿。但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们很惊讶。她们穿过一个种植小麦的省份，看到了面积有数千英亩的农场。晚饭后，她们又回到城市，位于五大湖区最北端的繁忙的港口城市——桑德湾。海轮可以航行到五大湖，让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。她们知道，因为五大湖，加拿大的
