Canadians are blessed with an abundance f natural wnders with enugh lakes, muntains and rivers t explre fr a lifetime. We’ve als gt sme f the mst shcking waterfalls n Earth.
Pissing Mare Falls—Grs Mrne Natinal Park, Newfundland and Labradr
Pissing Mare Falls may have a funny sunding name but they’re n jke: in fact, they’re ne f the highest waterfalls in Canada. Lcated in the beautiful Grs Mrne Natinal Park, the falls are nly accessible by bat tur.
Takakkaw Falls—Yh Natinal Park, British Clumbia

Niagara Falls—Niagara Falls, Ontari
Niagara Falls are the mst famus waterfalls in Canada. Actually they are made up f three different falls—the Hrseshe Falls, the mst pwerful in Nrth America, are the nly ne lcated n the Canadian side. Melting glaciers(冰川) frmed the falls thusands f years ag and the beautiful green clur is due t disslved salt and finely grund(磨) rck.

The wrld is getting lder, fast. And as mre peple retire each year, fewer wrking-age peple will be there t replace them. Bnd rating agency Mdy's says that will lead t a decline in husehld savings; reducing glbal investments-which in turn, will lead t slwer ecnmic grwth arund the wrld. But experts say it's nt t late t mitigate(减轻）the ecnmic impact f the wrld's aging ppulatins.
In Japan, there are special playgrunds fr the elderly. In Italy, dance classes fr senirs are part f the "gd life". And in Germany-the rapid pace f retirements has becme a bigger issue than unemplyment. They are the wrld's "Super Aged" natins-the term fr cuntries where at least 20 percent f the ppulatin is 65 years r lder.
In five years, six mre cuntries will jin the ranks f the super-aged. And by 2030, that number will rise t 34.“That will translate int reductins in labr supply, and aging will have a significant negative impact n glbal grwth," Elena Duggar, head f Mdy's Svereign Risk Divisin, said.
Business research grup, the Cnference Bard says aging culd shave as much as ne percent ff glbal grwth in the next 10 years. "Ignring the cming changes is risky," says ecnmist Faribrz Ghadar, authr f Glal Tectnics-What Every Business Needs t Knw. "Ecnmic grwth rates will slw dwn, jbs will nt be available the yung, and there is ging t be cnflict bth internally in certain cuntries and externally. There'll be backlash（反冲） against immigrants and that's nt the kind f wrld we really want," said Ghadar. But the slutin may be as clse as a natin's brders.
While cnsumer buying patterns will change as ppulatins age, Kishre Kulkari believes targeted career training and prductivity gains thrugh technlgy culd ffset the decline in wrkers.
"It is a misalignment(未对准） f demand rather than a ttal and a drastic change in the demand. And it is a challenge which we can easily accept and tackle as it cmes t us ,” he said. Kulkarni adds that aging will be less f a challenge in cuntries where elders are seen as assets rather than liabilities(责任；义务).But nearly all the experts say yung wrkers, in the future, will wrk lnger and retire later than senirs tday.
( )24. Which f the fllwing is nt the result f the aging ppulatin?
A. Jb pprtunities may nt be available fr the yung.
B. It will lead t a decline in husehld savings
C. Ecnmic grwth rates will slw dwn arund the wrld.
D. Mre and mre immigrants will pur int the cuntries with aging ppulatins.
( )25.What can we infer accrding t Faribrz Ghadar?
A . Peple arund the wrld shuld be aware f the risk invlved in aging .
B. Aging will have a significant negative impact n glbal grwth.
C. Yung wrkers, in the future, will wrk lnger and retire later than senirs tday.
D. Aging will cause cnflicts bth internally and externally in certain cuntries.
( )26. The underlined wrd "ffset" prbably_____________
A. cmpare with B. cancel ut C. cmpete against D. set ff
( )27. What is mainly talked in the article?
A. Aging ppulatin will slw glbal ecnmic grwth.
B. Cnsumer buying patterns will change as ppulatins age.
C. Elders are seen as assets rather than liabilities.
D. The impacts f aging ppulatin are great.

There’s a lt we knw abut eggs: they are great fr breakfast and yu can ck them in different ways. One tpic f debate, hwever, is why brwn chicken eggs usually cst mre than white nes. Accrding t Sharman Hickman, the directr f Cmmunity Outreach and Educatin fr Hickman’s Family Farms, genetics(基因学) nt nutritin determines the eggshell clur and thus the egg’s price.
The chicken breed(品种) and their genetics decide whether r nt hens have pigment(色素) genes, which cat the egg and result in a clured shell during the egg-laying prcess. Althugh all eggs start ut white in clur, shell clur can range frm white t brwn and even blue in sme rare breeds, Hickman adds. Breeds such as the Leghrn chicken lay white eggs, while the Orpingtn lays brwn eggs and the Ameraucana prduces blue eggs.
Hickman ntes that the Leghrn breed is the mst efficient egg-laying hen, making it a ppular chice fr farmers. Hens that prduce clured eggshells, hwever, tend t be larger and require mre feed and energy t create that painted layer. Since thse breeds cst mre t feed, their eggs are mre expensive.
Althugh eggs smetimes lk different and are priced differently, it’s impssible t knw their nutritinal make-up frm the shell clur alne, accrding t Malina Linkas Malkani, media spkespersn fr the Academy f Nutritin and Dietetics. “Chsing between brwn and white eggs is a matter f persnal preference,” she says. “But it’s imprtant fr peple t knw that the clur f the eggshell has nthing t d with the egg’s nutrient cntent r shell thickness.”
What des affect the nutrient cntent is the specific diet the hen is n, accrding t Malkani. Fr example, hens fed with a diet with mega-3s and vitamin D prduce eggs that are higher in thse specific nutrients. N matter what yur preference is, dn’t judge an egg by its shell clur.
( )28. Which f the fllwing is ne f the arguments abut eggs?
A. Which eggs are difficult t break. B. Hw eggs can be cked healthily.
C. Why clured eggs are mre expensive. D. What the best time t eat eggs shuld be.
( )29. What makes the eggshell clur different?
A. The hen’s breed. B. The size f the hen.
C. The clur f the eggs inside. D. The length f the laying prcess.
( )30. Why d farmers lve the Leghrn breed mre?
A. They lay brwn eggs. B. Their eggs are larger.
C. Their eggs sell better. D. They are prductive.
( )31. What can we learn frm Malkani’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. It takes effrts t test eggs’ nutritin.
B. It’s meaningless t study an egg’s clur.
C. Persnal preference matters a lt in chice-making.
D. An egg’s nutritin is clsely related t the hen’s feed.

Every year. the Jint Mathmatics Meeting brings mre than 5,000 math lvers tgether. It’s the largest math meeting in the wrld. In January 2019, mathematicians flew t the meeting in Baltimre, Md., t learn abut new ideas and talk abut their wrk. Many even came t admire the latest in mathematical art.
The meeting included an entire art exhibitin. Visitrs felt amazed at sculptures made frm metal, wd and flded paper. One was based n a supersized Rubik’s cube. Many like triangles, were arranged in strange and surprising sizes and clrs. The cllectin als included drawings and paintings inspired by the study f numbers, curves (曲线) and patterns.
Art and math may seem like a strange pairing. Peple usually experience art thrugh their senses. They see a painting r listen t music. If this art mves them, they will have an emtinal respnse. Wrking at math prblems is usually viewed as smething yu think abut—nt feel. But cnnectins between the tw fields reach far back in time. Sculptrs and architects in sme ancient civilizatins included numbers and math ideas int their wrks.
Henry Segerman is a mathematician and artist. When he was in high schl, in England, he was gd at math and art. But he had t chse. “I went in the math directin back then,” he says. He thught it difficult t succeed as an artist.
Still, Segerman’s math studies led him int the visual areas f math, such as gemetry. In 2015, Segerman and sme math art friends created a virtual-reality artwrk. Participants can put n a pair f VR gggles t flat arund and thrugh fur-dimensinal shapes. Art makes it pssible t interact (互动) with these shapes, which wuld be impssible t create in ur three-dimensinal wrld. As beautiful as it is t see, Segerman’s wrk als ffers a new view n mathematical ideas.
( )32. What distinguishes the exhibits at the meeting?
A. They are art wrks with high technlgy. B. They reflect the lng histry f math.
C. They are made based n math ideas. D. They turn visual art int specific math.
( )33. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?
A. They seem extremely hard t appreciate.
B. They’re experienced in different ways.
C. They’ve been separated since ancient times.
D. They fail t bring abut peple’s respnses.
( )34. What can we learn frm Henry Segerman’s stry?
A. Math learning prmtes the creatin f art. B. Math makes art easier t understand.
C. Math is actually the rigin f fine art. D. One can’t easily succeed in math.
( )35. What is the main idea f the text?
A. Real artists will stand the test f math. B. Math and art turns ut a great cmbinatin.
C. Mdern artists turn int mathematicians. D. Artists make math make a kind f art.

On a recent sunny, dry fall mrning, I fund the last utdr table at my favurite café.

On that balcny I played smetimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years ld and when my mm was absent she was like a mther t me. The balcny was a great hbby place fr my father.

Listeners, yu will envy the pupils f Lret High Schl. Thanks t tw new excellent chefs in the schl kitchen, meals are five-star quality. And they cst nly £2.35. After students cmplained abut bring lunch, the schl recently called in Adam Leavy and Sukhdev Singh, bth frmerly frm the famus Manchester Restaurant.
The tw chefs went thrugh a cmpetitin against ther tp-quality chefs, each cking up a tw-curse meal frm the ingredients given t them. And the pair impressed the judges s much that Headmaster Peter Tite instantly hired them.
Nw, all the kids are excited abut dining at schl and the nly prblem nw is that parents have t keep up with the chefs’ high standards when cking fr their children at hme. One mther said, “My sn used t cmplain that the fd at schl was bring. Nw he cmes hme and turns his nse up at the burger I make.”
The mst imprtant secret t the chefs’ success lies in their attentin n students’ preference. Every week they d tests t knw what fd wuld win ver students and put it n the menu. N wnder the new lunch has given the whle schl a lift with nly the price f £2.35.
