Unit 5 Canada

Unit 5 Canada-"The True North"——Reading ——“真北方”之旅李黛予和她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们。

她们不想一路乘飞机，她们决定飞到温哥华，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。

她们的朋友林丹尼在机场等候她们。

他要带着她们和行李到火车站乘坐横穿加拿大的“真北方”号列车。

在去火车站的路上，林丹尼聊起了她们的旅程：“你们沿途将会看到美丽壮阔的风景。

向东一直走，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。

有人想在不到五天的时间里横穿加拿大，他们忘了加拿大从东海岸到西海岸共有5，500公里。

这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。

人们说温哥华是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大山和太平洋环抱。

落基山可以滑雪，海港供你扬帆，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了最古老、最美丽的森林。

那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达90多米。

”那天下午表姐俩才登上了火车落了座。

火车先是穿越落基山脉，她们设法看到了野山羊，甚至还看到了一只大灰熊和一只鹰。

她们的下一站就是卡尔加里，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本领，他们能赢得几千美元的奖金。

两天以后，她们开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。

他们在学校学过，大多数加拿大人定居在靠近美国几百英里的边境地带，加拿大的人口也就是三千万多一点儿。

但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们很惊讶。

火车穿过一个种植小麦的省份，她们看到了面积有数千英亩的农场。

晚饭后她们又回到城市，位于五大湖区顶端的繁忙的港口城市桑得贝。

巨大的海轮可以开到五大湖，让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。

她们知道，因为有五大湖，加拿大的淡水比世界上任何其他国家都多。

事实上，加拿大拥有全世界三分之一的淡水量，其中大部分都蓄在五大湖泊里。
