Vancouver(溫哥華)

Natural Resources:

As a major centre for the global forestry industry, Vancouver is host to many international forestry conferences and events, and the natural home of the massive BC forestry business. Companies such as Canfor and West Fraser Timber Co., the second and third largest lumber(木材)producers in the world, are headquartered in Vancouver. Vancouver is also a major centre for the mining industry. 

International trade:

International trade is a key part for Vancouver's economy. The city has Canada's largest port and is one of North America's major gateways for Pan-Pacific(泛太平洋)trade. The Port of Vancouver ranks first in North America in total foreign exports and second on the West Coast in total goods volume.

Banking and Financial:

The headquarters for HSBC Canada (匯豐銀行)is located in the Financial District in downtown. Canada's third largest commercial entity(實(shí)體), Jim Pattison Group is also based in Vancouver.

International relation:

Vancouver is a major centre for diplomacy(外交) and foreign relations. Most countries of the world have consulate(領(lǐng)事館)or general offices in the Central Business District. In fact, many major diplomatic conferences are hosted by the city - including the world famous G7 summit with President Clinton, APEC, and the World Trade Organization. Greenpeace has its world headquarters in the city. Therefore, Vancouver was among the first North American cities to declare itself a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone.

Tourism:

Tourism is a leading industry to Vancouver. The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort is among the most popular skiing resorts in North America, and will be the site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Vancouver's beaches, parks, waterfronts, and mountain backdrops and its multi- cultural character attract more and more tourists.

Film:

Vancouver was the source of the sobriquet(綽號(hào))"Hollywood North", for hosting the production of about ten percent of Hollywood's movies. Many U.S. television and films series are shot exclusively in Vancouver. This has partly been because of the favourable Canadian dollar exchange rate.

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying

Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration(就職演說)last week in Washington Watching the huge crowds,we saw laughter,cheers,hugs-but also many tears

It made us wonder,why dopeople cry?Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body.Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse.

Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject. They examined detailed descriptions ofcrying experiences.Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life,not in a laboratory.

The team analyzed information from the Intemational Study on Adult Crying.As part of that study,three thousand people in different countries,mostly college students,wrote about recent crying experiences.They noted causes,surroundings and any people involved in the event.They also reported how they felt after they cried.

Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal. Crying does not always make a person feel better,he says.About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried.

But a third felt better after crying.And a majority reported the experience as helpful.

The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around. People who reached out for emotional support at the time-and received it-reported better results from the crying experience.

But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful.

Research has shown that women cry more of ten and more intensely than men.But it may not be to better effect,says the psychologist.The new findings,he says,did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying.In other words,just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry.

The paper entitled”Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Scieflce And there is more to learn.Jonathan Rottenberg says the science ofcrying is still in its infancy.

57·Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?

A.Because he was impressed by the laughter,cheers,hugs and tears.

B.Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying.

C.Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result.

D.Because it was the historic moment that many people cried

58.How did the researchers carry out the research?

A.They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs.

B.They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges.

C They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries.

D.They noted their own crying experiencesand compared with others.

59.We can learn from the passage that_______.

A.it may be better to cry alone than with others around

B.some support from others may make crying helpful

C.women who cry more of ten may have better effects than men

D.the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying

60.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means_______.

A.in the early stage   B.in a secret state   C.in the first place    D in good condition

科目:高中英語 來源:云南省2010屆高三上學(xué)期期末考試試題(英語) 題型:閱讀理解

I worked as a waitress for a few months. I was not a great waitress and I worked in a restaurant that served mostly older people who, however, have not learned that ten percent of their expense is no longer a tip that waitresses can live on – let alone a college student working hard for 20 hours a week!

One night, when I was still working two hours after shift(輪班) was supposed to finish, all that I wanted was for my last table to clear out so I could clean and go home. My last customer caught me on her way out and asked if I had change for a twenty. I dug through my pocket and turned out my night’s earnings—a small amount of $14.

She smiled at me and said, “That is enough.”

My eyes were full of tears as I made the uneven(不等價(jià)的) exchange. “Thank you, ”I said in a low voice.

I heard her little boy ask why she did that and she explained that I’d had a hard night and she just wanted to help me out. I even heard her words, “Reach out your hands when somebody needs help.” I noticed the little boy nodded his head. Not only did her kindness touch my hurried and tiring life, but she also taught her son an important lesson that night.

I do not know her name, but I will always remember her.

1. According to the passage, at that time the author was ___________.

A. a full-time worker               B. still a college student
