Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They’re the ones who’ve already built up much internship (實習(xí)) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co-operative program.

Co-op programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.

Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co-op program. “It’s easy to understand,” said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.

Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students. “The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration,” added the counselor. “That’s because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”

1.What’s the main characteristic of co-op programs?

A. They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.

B. They make academic credits easier to gain.

C. Employers work with students on their studies.

D. Students get work experience while at university.

2.What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?

A. Co-op programs are becoming more popular.

B. The average salary for interns will increase.

C. Co-op programs are open to all majors.

D. Companies welcome foreign students.

3.Which section of a website does the text probably come from?

A. Business. B. Education. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture.

Four great railway journeys

Travelling by rail holds a romantic and old-fashioned appeal that can’t be matched by flying or driving. By taking the slow route, you get to experience and interact with an area in a completely different way.

The Rocky Mountaineer

Where: Canada, from Vancouver to Banff, Jasper and Calgary.

When: In June, which is springtime in the Rockies, complete with blooming flowers and abundant wildlife.

Duration: between two and eight days, travelling only in daylight, staying in luxury hotels.

Highlights: Splendid views of Rocky mountains, incredible luxury at every stage of the trip, traditional native storytelling, wine classes and natural history workshop.

The Chepe

Where: Mexico. It begins its journey in the mountains of Chihuahua and finishes on the Sinaloa coast.

When: In the rainy season, from June to October, you’ll get lush vegetation(豐富的植被) and blooming cacti(仙人掌),although mid-summer (July) temperatures can reach 44 °C.

Duration: Doing the route straight through takes 14 hours, but you’ll want to stop off overnight and explore traditional towns along the way.

Highlights: The train winds its way down through 656 km of the spectacular Copper Canyon (which is deeper than the Grand Canyon), over 37 precarious-looking bridges and through 86 tunnels. Local people sell crafts and foods along the route.

The Ghan

Where: Australia, from Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs.

When: Going during the wet season (December, January) will allow you to see more wildlife and tropical splendour in the north, though peak season is usually the winter.

Duration: Going straight through takes 52 hours. There are disembarkation points(登陸點(diǎn)) from which you can take tours.

Highlights: Going through Australia’s Red Centre with cobalt-blue skies, red earth and not much else — a beautiful and serene(寧靜的) experience.

The Royal Scotsman

Where: Travels around the Scottish Highlands or all the way around Great Britain.

When: Warmer weather and up to 20 hours of daylight in June makes it the perfect time to watch ospreys soaring (魚鷹飛翔) over mirror-like lochs(湖), or go in October for autumn colours and the rather vocal stag-rutting season.

Duration: Trips can be as short as two days or as long as seven. Highlights: Possibly the most expensive train journey in the world. You’ll be treated like a member of the monarchy(皇室). Indulgent(放縱的) cuisine, fine wines and carriages that look like rooms at Balmoral Castle await those willing to part with a minimum of £2350 per person for a two-night trip.

1.Which of the following journey has the shortest duration?

A. The Chepe. B. The Ghan.

C. The Rocky mountaineer. D. The Royal scotsman.

2.Visitors may have the opportunity to try some wine in ________.

A. The Royal scotsman and The Chepe

B. The Royal scotsman and The Ghan

C. The Rocky mountaineer and The Chepe

D. The Rocky mountaineer and The Royal Scotsman

3.If a Chinese family wants to have a travel during the Spring Festival, which one would be suitable for them?

A. The Chepe. B. The Ghan. C. The Rocky mountaineer. D. The Royal scotsman.
