Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s lng brwn hair when she nticed that with each cmb, masses f the hair were cming ut. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-ld Gianessa Wride’s hair was cmpletely gne, and her dctr said they (21)______(never grw) back. Gianessa had becme ne f the 6.8 millin Americans with alpecia, a disease (22)______ causes hair lss.
Alpecia isn’t painful, but fr kids (23)______(suffer) frm it, the severe pain cmes frm standing ut frm the crwd. Fr the mst part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the ccasinal jkes f “Baldy”(秃子) made her feel uncmfrtable. “I didn’t want her t feel that she wasn’t like the ther kids,” said her mther . “I tried cvering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncmfrtable.”

Sectin B
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx． Each wrd can nly be used nce． Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
Hw sund and clur influence the taste f fd
The sund peple hear while they are eating fd can change the way they think it tastes, scientists have discvered. In fact, researchers have als fund that changing the clur f a fd can influence the flavur 31 by cnsumers. Fd manufacturers are nw hping t 32 the findings in an attempt t make their fds mre appealing.
It was 33 thught that the sense f taste and smell were the nly human senses that played a rle in experiencing flavur. Prfessr Charles Spence, a sensry psychlgist at Oxfrd University, is a leading expert in his field. He believes that it is pssible t change the flavr f fd simply by exciting peple’s sense f hearing. Fr example, listening t waves hitting the sea shre can make 34 detect seafd flavrs.
Prfessr Spence has als discvered that 35 changing the clur f a fd can influence the way it tastes. He fund that by changing a drink frm yellw t a deep red, it is pssible t make it taste up t 12 per cent sweeter than it really is. He said: “This clur has strng 36 with very ripe fruit.”
Flavur is nt just as simple as the way smething tastes, as all the ther senses cme int 37 and sme can dminate the way the brain will 38 a fd. Ice cream activates a part f the brain which is just behind the eyes and is where emtins are 39 . By melting, it changes its physical 40 and creates cntrasts that cntinually keep yur senses interested.
S next time yu are in a restaurant r a supermarket, r just sitting dwn at hme t eat smething, think abut whether yur chices have been influenced by sund r clur. Yu may be surprised!
Ⅲ．Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A,B, C and D． Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
The first attempt f even the mst talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldm a masterpiece. If yu cnsider yur drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), r tryuts, revising will seem a natural part f the writing 41 ．
What is the purpse f the dress rehearsals and the ut-f-twn previews that many Bradway shws g thrugh? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, rerdering, 42 revising．Andrew Llyd Webber's musical Phantm f the Opera underwent such a prcess.
When Llyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting prductin．Hwever, when Phantm pened in Lndn in 1986, the audience saw a mving psychlgical lve stry set t music．The musical had 43 several revisins due, in part, t prblems with cstuming and makeup (戏服和化妆)．Fr instance, Llyd Webber 44 sme f the music because the Phantm's makeup prevented the actr frm singing certain sunds.
When yu revise, yu change aspects f yur wrk in 45 t yur evlving purpse, r t include 46 ideas r newly discvered infrmatin.
Revisin is nt just an afterthught that gets nly as much time as yu have at the end f an assignment． 47 , it is a majr stage f the writing prcess, and writers revise every step f the way．Even yur decisin t 48 tpics while prewriting is a type f revising．Hwever．dn't make the mistake f skipping the revisin stage that fllws 49 ．Always make time t becme yur wn 50 and view yur dress rehearsal, s t speak．Reviewing yur wrk in this way can give yu 51 new ideas.
Revising invlves 52 the effectiveness and apprpriateness f all aspects f yur writing, making yur purpse mre clearly, and refcusing r develping the facts and ideas yu present．When yu revise, ask yurself the fllwing questins, keeping in mind the audience fr whm yu are writing: Is my main idea r purpse 53 thrughut my draft? D I ever lse sight f my purpse? Have I given my readers all f the 54 that is, facts, pinins,
inferences -- that they need in rder t understand my main idea? Finally, have I included t many 55 details that may cnfuse readers?

(A)
After buncing my rental car acrss several miles f red-dirt rads I walked fr nearly anther mile dwn the beach t a deserted valley. It was cmfrting t think that at the very least I was finally ut f cell-phne range.
Hwever, even n Kauai, Hawaii's “Garden Island”, cmplete escape wasn't all that easy t achieve. Nisy helicpters full f turists flew verhead like s many dragnflies. Every 20 minutes r s the cmfrting sunds f wind and water were brken by the nise f a speeding tur bat racing t cmplete anther lap arund the island. Wrst f all, nt mre than five minutes by car frm the resrt where I was staying, the Atmic Clck Internet Café signaled with prmises f instant email.
I felt uncmfrtable every time I drve by the Atmic Clck Café. I am a technlgy reprter fr an nline magazine—my life is driven and dminated by email. I'm drwned in it, usually 400 r 500 messages a day. The main reasn fr my visit t Kauai was t unplug, discnnect, lg ff, and get away frm it all. N cell phne, n electrnic rganiser, n laptp. And definitely, n email.
Yes, my plan was t lie n the beach and nt check my email. My friends and family were utraged as they culd nt understand hw I culd bear t live withut email. But they didn't understand. In my jb, I am nline, permanently. Cyberspace is mre familiar t me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always n. I dn't like t be withut it fr t lng. A few hurs away frm it, and I start t tremble. I am, hwever, n stranger t beaches and their relaxing qualities and s I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the cmfrtable cttage in the twn f Waimea, that the island f Kauai gave me a gd chance f beating my addictin t electrnic devices.
Maybe it was full mn lighting the black-sand beach nt 10 metres frm my dr. Or the mang trees casting shadws acrss the veranda (阳台). Or the driftwd piled in lse heaps fr as far as I culd see alng the shre. Withut questin, the lng, slw sund f the waves rlling in calmed my restless sul, and I fund I culd, in fact, lg ff.
56. Why did the writer cme t Kauai?
A. T get away frm the mdern technlgy.
T wrk fr the Atmic Clck Internet Café.
T write reprts n technlgical develpment.
T find whether there is an alternative t email.
What can we learn abut the writer?
He wrte articles abut resrts arund the wrld.
He enjyed beach activities like bat racing.
He was eager t wrk in his backyard.
He spent much time wrking nline.
The wrd “utraged” (paragraph 4) is clsest in meaning t " ______".
A .relieved B .shcked C .amused D .ffended
The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in rder t_____ .
argue against his friends' dubt f Kauai

(C)
Space explratin has always been the prvince f dreamers: The human imaginatin readily sars where human innvatin struggles t fllw. A Vyage t the Mn, ften cited as the first science fictin stry, was written by Cyran de Bergerac in 1649. Cyran was dead and buried fr a gd three centuries befre the first manned rckets started t fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America wuld send a man t the mn by the decade's end, thse wrds, t, had a dreamlike quality. They resnated(共鸣) with ptimism and ambitin in much the same way as the mst famus dream speech f all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. tw years later. By the end f the decade, bth visins had turned ut cncrete results and transfrmed American sciety. And yet in many ways the tw dreams ended up cnflicting with each ther. The fight fr racial and ecnmic equality is intensely practical and immediate in its impact. The urge t explre space is just the ppsite. It is actually unrealistic in its aims.
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lst ut. There was n grand fllw-up t the Apll missins. The technlgically cmprmised（妥协） space shuttle prgram has just cme t an end, with n successr. The endless argument is that funds are tight, that we have mre pressing prblems here n Earth. Amng the current cncerns abut the federal deficit (赤字), reaching tward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury---as if saving ne-thusandth f a single year's budget wuld slve ur prblems.
But human innvatin struggles n. NASA is develping a series f rbtic devices that will get the mst bang frm a buck. They will serve as mdern Magellans, mapping ut the slar system fr whatever explrers fllw, whether man r machine. On the flip side, cmpanies like Virgin Galactic are designing a bttm-up attack n the space dream by making it a reality t the public. Private spaceflight culd lie within reach f rich civilians in a few years. Anther decade r tw and it culd g mainstream.
The space dreamers end up benefiting all f us---nt just because f the way they expand human knwledge, r because f the technlgies they prduce, but because the tw types f dreams feed n each ther. Bth Martin Luther King and Jhn Kennedy appealed t the idea that humans can get ver what were nce cnsidered inbrn limitatins. Tday we face seeming challenges in energy, the envirnment, healthcare. Tmrrw we will vercme these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lt f the credit. The mre evidence we cllect that ur species is capable f greatness, the mre we will actually achieve it.
63. The authr mentins Cyran de Bergerac in rder t shw that _______________.
A. imaginatin is the mther f inventin
B. creativity is essential t science fictin writers
C. it takes patience fr humans t realize their dreams
D. dreamers have always been interested in science fictin
64. Cncerning the dreams f Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, which f the fllwing statements is NOT true?
A. They symblized human beings' cnfidence in achievements.
B. They brught abut dramatic changes in American sciety.
C. They are in cmplete cnflict with each ther.
D. They bth sunded very much unrealistic t Americans.
65. Which f the fllwing des the authr imply in paragraph 3?
A. Space shuttle prgram is t dangerus fr Americans t carry n.
B. The tight budget is t blame fr the unsuccessful space prgram.
C. Mre prblems n Earth call fr ur immediate attentin.
D. Space prgram, necessary t the natinal dream, shuld be cntinued.
66. What des the authr think f the prblems facing human beings?
A. They pse a serius challenge t future human existence.
B. They can be slved sner r later with human innvatin.
C. Their slutins need jint effrts f the public and private sectrs.
D. They can nly be slved by peple wh are intelligently superir.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing text and chse the mst suitable heading frm A-F fr each
paragraph．There is ne extra heading which yu d nt need.
Virtual (虚拟) Teams
Virtual teams are a great way t enable teamwrk in situatins where peple are nt sitting in the same ffice at the same time. 67 This is particularly s fr businesses that use virtual teams t build glbal presence, r need less cmmn skills r knwledge frm peple wh are unwilling t travel.
Virtual teams are gverned by the same basic principles as traditinal teams. 72 It is the way the team members cmmunicate. They rely n special cmmunicatin channels enabled by mdern technlgies, such as emails, faxes, and telecnferences, and alike. Due t mre limited cmmunicatin channels, the success f virtual teams is much mre sensitive t the type f prject the grup wrks n, what peple are selected, and hw the team is managed.
____68 One challenging case is the prjects that rely heavily n integrated wrk. That is t say, when each persn’s wrk depends significantly n what smene else is ding at the same mment, like in a sprts team, there is an nging heavy exchange f infrmatin in real time, and the tasks have t g thrugh a strict rder within a shrt time.
Nt everyne can perfrm well in a virtual team envirnment. 69 Anther imprtant quality is cmmunicatin skills. The team members must be able t cmmunicate clearly and psitively. Managers f virtual teams need t pay much mre attentin t having clear gals, perfrmance standards, and cmmunicatin rules. Peple have varius assumptins n what t expect frm each ther. 70
One f the biggest challenges f virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is imprtant fr unblcking cmmunicatin between members and increasing mtivatin f each persn in the team. The issue f trust needs special attentin at any stage f team existence.
IV. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass thrugh their bdies the same way light passes thrugh a windw. These animals typically live between the surface f the cean and a depth f abut 3,300 feet---as far as mst light can reach. Mst f them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple tuch. Snke Jhnsen, a scientist in bilgy, says, “These animals live thrugh their life alne. They never tuch anything unless they’re eating it, r unless smething is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. Hw des an animal becme see-thrugh? Its trickier than yu might think.
The bjects arund yu are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But sme materials scatter(散射) light buncing it away frm its riginal path. Others absrb light, stpping it dead in its tracks. Bth scattering and absrptin make an bject lk different frm ther bjects arund it, s yu can see it easily.
But a transparent bject desn't absrb r scatter light, at least nt very much. Light can pass thrugh it withut bending r stpping. That means a transparent bject desn't lk very different frm the surrunding air r water. Yu dn't see it--- yu see the things behind it.
T becme transparent, an animal needs t keep its bdy frm absrbing r scattering light. Living materials can stp light because they cntain pigments(色素) that absrb specific clrs f light. But a transparent animal desn’t have pigments, s its tissues wn’t absrb light. Accrding t Jhnsen, aviding absrptin is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light frm scattering.
Animals are built f many different materials—skin, fat, and mre—and light mves thrugh each at a different speed. Every time light mves int a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks t fight scattering. Sme animals are simply very small r extremely flat. Withut much tissue t scatter light, it is easier t be see-thrugh. Others build a large, clear mass f nn-living jelly-like(果冻状的) material and spread themselves ver it.

The rts f Canadian English can be fund in the events which fllwed the American revlutin f 1776. Thse wh had supprted Britain fund themselves unable t stay in the new United States, and mst went t Canada. They were sn fllwed by many thusands wh were attracted by the cheapness f land. Within 50 years, the ppulatin f upper Canada had reached 100 thusand, mainly peple frm the United States. In the east, the Atlantic prvinces had been settled by English speakers as early as the 15th century, but even tday, these areas cntain less than ten per cent f the ppulatin, s that they have nly a limited rle in the develpment f Canadian English. In Quebec, the majrity f peple use French as a mther tne. Here English and French exist tgether but uneasily. Because f its rigins, Canadian English has a great deal in cmmn with the rest f the English spken in Nrth America, and is ften difficult t distinguish fr peple wh live utside the regin. T British peple, Canadians may sund American; t Americans, they may sund British. Canadians themselves insist n nt being identified with either, and certainly, there is a great deal f evidence in supprt f this view.

Hw sund and clur influence the taste f fd
The sund peple hear while they are eating fd can change the way they think it tastes, scientists have discvered. In fact, researchers have als fund that changing the clur f a fd can influence the flavur 31 by cnsumers. Fd manufacturers are nw hping t 32 the findings in an attempt t make their fds mre appealing.
It was 33 thught that the sense f taste and smell were the nly human senses that played a rle in experiencing flavur. Prfessr Charles Spence, a sensry psychlgist at Oxfrd University, is a leading expert in his field. He believes that it is pssible t change the flavr f fd simply by exciting peple’s sense f hearing. Fr example, listening t waves hitting the sea shre can make 34 detect seafd flavrs.
Prfessr Spence has als discvered that 35 changing the clur f a fd can influence the way it tastes. He fund that by changing a drink frm yellw t a deep red, it is pssible t make it taste up t 12 per cent sweeter than it really is. He said: “This clur has strng 36 with very ripe fruit.”
Flavur is nt just as simple as the way smething tastes, as all the ther senses cme int 37 and sme can dminate the way the brain will 38 a fd. Ice cream activates a part f the brain which is just behind the eyes and is where emtins are 39 . By melting, it changes its physical 40 and creates cntrasts that cntinually keep yur senses interested.
S next time yu are in a restaurant r a supermarket, r just sitting dwn at hme t eat smething, think abut whether yur chices have been influenced by sund r clur. Yu may be surprised!

The first attempt f even the mst talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldm a masterpiece. If yu cnsider yur drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), r tryuts, revising will seem a natural part f the writing 41 ．
What is the purpse f the dress rehearsals and the ut-f-twn previews that many Bradway shws g thrugh? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, rerdering, 42 revising．Andrew Llyd Webber's musical Phantm f the Opera underwent such a prcess.
When Llyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting prductin．Hwever, when Phantm pened in Lndn in 1986, the audience saw a mving psychlgical lve stry set t music．The musical had 43 several revisins due, in part, t prblems with cstuming and makeup (戏服和化妆)．Fr instance, Llyd Webber 44 sme f the music because the Phantm's makeup prevented the actr frm singing certain sunds.

(A)
After buncing my rental car acrss several miles f red-dirt rads I walked fr nearly anther mile dwn the beach t a deserted valley. It was cmfrting t think that at the very least I was finally ut f cell-phne range.
Hwever, even n Kauai, Hawaii's “Garden Island”, cmplete escape wasn't all that easy t achieve. Nisy helicpters full f turists flew verhead like s many dragnflies. Every 20 minutes r s the cmfrting sunds f wind and water were brken by the nise f a speeding tur bat racing t cmplete anther lap arund the island. Wrst f all, nt mre than five minutes by car frm the resrt where I was staying, the Atmic Clck Internet Café signaled with prmises f instant email.
I felt uncmfrtable every time I drve by the Atmic Clck Café. I am a technlgy reprter fr an nline magazine—my life is driven and dminated by email. I'm drwned in it, usually 400 r 500 messages a day. The main reasn fr my visit t Kauai was t unplug, discnnect, lg ff, and get away frm it all. N cell phne, n electrnic rganiser, n laptp. And definitely, n email.
Yes, my plan was t lie n the beach and nt check my email. My friends and family were utraged as they culd nt understand hw I culd bear t live withut email. But they didn't understand. In my jb, I am nline, permanently. Cyberspace is mre familiar t me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always n. I dn't like t be withut it fr t lng. A few hurs away frm it, and I start t tremble. I am, hwever, n stranger t beaches and their relaxing qualities and s I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the cmfrtable cttage in the twn f Waimea, that the island f Kauai gave me a gd chance f beating my addictin t electrnic devices.
Maybe it was full mn lighting the black-sand beach nt 10 metres frm my dr. Or the mang trees casting shadws acrss the veranda (阳台). Or the driftwd piled in lse heaps fr as far as I culd see alng the shre. Withut questin, the lng, slw sund f the waves rlling in calmed my restless sul, and I fund I culd, in fact, lg ff.

Space explratin has always been the prvince f dreamers: The human imaginatin readily sars where human innvatin struggles t fllw. A Vyage t the Mn, ften cited as the first science fictin stry, was written by Cyran de Bergerac in 1649. Cyran was dead and buried fr a gd three centuries befre the first manned rckets started t fly.
In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America wuld send a man t the mn by the decade's end, thse wrds, t, had a dreamlike quality. They resnated(共鸣) with ptimism and ambitin in much the same way as the mst famus dream speech f all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. tw years later. By the end f the decade, bth visins had turned ut cncrete results and transfrmed American sciety. And yet in many ways the tw dreams ended up cnflicting with each ther. The fight fr racial and ecnmic equality is intensely practical and immediate in its impact. The urge t explre space is just the ppsite. It is actually unrealistic in its aims.
When the dust settled, the space dreamers lst ut. There was n grand fllw-up t the Apll missins. The technlgically cmprmised（妥协） space shuttle prgram has just cme t an end, with n successr. The endless argument is that funds are tight, that we have mre pressing prblems here n Earth. Amng the current cncerns abut the federal deficit (赤字), reaching tward the stars seems an unnecessary luxury---as if saving ne-thusandth f a single year's budget wuld slve ur prblems.
But human innvatin struggles n. NASA is develping a series f rbtic devices that will get the mst bang frm a buck. They will serve as mdern Magellans, mapping ut the slar system fr whatever explrers fllw, whether man r machine. On the flip side, cmpanies like Virgin Galactic are designing a bttm-up attack n the space dream by making it a reality t the public. Private spaceflight culd lie within reach f rich civilians in a few years. Anther decade r tw and it culd g mainstream.
The space dreamers end up benefiting all f us---nt just because f the way they expand human knwledge, r because f the technlgies they prduce, but because the tw types f dreams feed n each ther. Bth Martin Luther King and Jhn Kennedy appealed t the idea that humans can get ver what were nce cnsidered inbrn limitatins. Tday we face seeming challenges in energy, the envirnment, healthcare. Tmrrw we will vercme these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lt f the credit. The mre evidence we cllect that ur species is capable f greatness, the mre we will actually achieve it.

A. imaginatin is the mther f inventin
B. creativity is essential t science fictin writers

Virtual (虚拟) Teams
Virtual teams are a great way t enable teamwrk in situatins where peple are nt sitting in the same ffice at the same time. 67 This is particularly s fr businesses that use virtual teams t build glbal presence, r need less cmmn skills r knwledge frm peple wh are unwilling t travel.
Virtual teams are gverned by the same basic principles as traditinal teams. 72 It is the way the team members cmmunicate. They rely n special cmmunicatin channels enabled by mdern technlgies, such as emails, faxes, and telecnferences, and alike. Due t mre limited cmmunicatin channels, the success f virtual teams is much mre sensitive t the type f prject the grup wrks n, what peple are selected, and hw the team is managed.
____68 One challenging case is the prjects that rely heavily n integrated wrk. That is t say, when each persn’s wrk depends significantly n what smene else is ding at the same mment, like in a sprts team, there is an nging heavy exchange f infrmatin in real time, and the tasks have t g thrugh a strict rder within a shrt time.
Nt everyne can perfrm well in a virtual team envirnment. 69 Anther imprtant quality is cmmunicatin skills. The team members must be able t cmmunicate clearly and psitively. Managers f virtual teams need t pay much mre attentin t having clear gals, perfrmance standards, and cmmunicatin rules. Peple have varius assumptins n what t expect frm each ther. 70

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass thrugh their bdies the same way light passes thrugh a windw. These animals typically live between the surface f the cean and a depth f abut 3,300 feet---as far as mst light can reach. Mst f them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple tuch. Snke Jhnsen, a scientist in bilgy, says, “These animals live thrugh their life alne. They never tuch anything unless they’re eating it, r unless smething is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. Hw des an animal becme see-thrugh? Its trickier than yu might think.
The bjects arund yu are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But sme materials scatter(散射) light buncing it away frm its riginal path. Others absrb light, stpping it dead in its tracks. Bth scattering and absrptin make an bject lk different frm ther bjects arund it, s yu can see it easily.
But a transparent bject desn't absrb r scatter light, at least nt very much. Light can pass thrugh it withut bending r stpping. That means a transparent bject desn't lk very different frm the surrunding air r water. Yu dn't see it--- yu see the things behind it.
T becme transparent, an animal needs t keep its bdy frm absrbing r scattering light. Living materials can stp light because they cntain pigments(色素) that absrb specific clrs f light. But a transparent animal desn’t have pigments, s its tissues wn’t absrb light. Accrding t Jhnsen, aviding absrptin is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light frm scattering.
Animals are built f many different materials—skin, fat, and mre—and light mves thrugh each at a different speed. Every time light mves int a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks t fight scattering. Sme animals are simply very small r extremely flat. Withut much tissue t scatter light, it is easier t be see-thrugh. Others build a large, clear mass f nn-living jelly-like(果冻状的) material and spread themselves ver it.

The rts f Canadian English can be fund in the events which fllwed the American revlutin f 1776. Thse wh had supprted Britain fund themselves unable t stay in the new United States, and mst went t Canada. They were sn fllwed by many thusands wh were attracted by the cheapness f land. Within 50 years, the ppulatin f upper Canada had reached 100 thusand, mainly peple frm the United States. In the east, the Atlantic prvinces had been settled by English speakers as early as the 15th century, but even tday, these areas cntain less than ten per cent f the ppulatin, s that they have nly a limited rle in the develpment f Canadian English. In Quebec, the majrity f peple use French as a mther tne. Here English and French exist tgether but uneasily. Because f its rigins, Canadian English has a great deal in cmmn with the rest f the English spken in Nrth America, and is ften difficult t distinguish fr peple wh live utside the regin. T British peple, Canadians may sund American; t Americans, they may sund British. Canadians themselves insist n nt being identified with either, and certainly, there is a great deal f evidence in supprt f this view.
