Urban Transportation in Canada
Public transportation & Transit passes
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.
Transportation for people with disabilities
Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.
Etiquette on public transportation
When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:
◆ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.
◆ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.
◆ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.
◆ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.
1. What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets?
A.Lower costs. B. Safer trips.
C.Longer service hours . D. More use of transport.
2. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?
A. By offering fewer transportation options.
B. By running special transport services.
C. By limiting their mobility on city buses.
D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.
3. What is considered impolite on public transportation?
A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet.
C. Having your proof of payment at hand. D. Staying close to other passengers.

The elephant was lying heavily on its side,fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an
elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup-how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father,she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,"she says.
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says,"is to rescue man from the
elephants,and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry: for many years,illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village,Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans,"she said,as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant,happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
4．For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to________.
A．get long lasting excitement
B．make the angry elephants tame
C．send them back to the jungle
D．keep both man and elephants safe
5．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________.
A．she had already been called an elephant princess
B．she learned how to sing love songs
C．she spent her time hunting with her father
D．she was taught how to hunt tigers
6．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because________.
A．they are caught and sent for heavy work
B．they are attacked and their land gets limited
C．illegal hunters capture them and kill them
D．dogs often bark at them and chase them
C
While we all try to find happiness, sometimes we still end up feeling low. While most people can control this feeling, low moods can stay with some, leading to depression. About 322 million people suffered from depression in 2015, according to a report by the World Health Organization in February. This is more than 4 percent of the world's population.
Depression is described by the WHO as a mental disorder. It has several symptoms including sadness, loss of interest and feelings of low self-worth. In severe cases, depression may even lead to suicide.
The number of people living with depression is increasing. The WHO reported a rise of 18.4 percent between 2005 and 2015. Young people are a group known to suffer with depression. “The pressures on today's youth are like no other generation, perhaps," Dan Chisholm, an official of WHO, told Reuters.
In China, depression among young people is on the rise, Zhu Zhuohong, a psychology professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. Competition to outperform others, especially in education, can cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth.
Almost 1.2 million Chinese people aged 15 to 24 suffer from depression, according to a report released by British science journal The Lancet in May.
Luckily, more and more efforts are being made to deal with this problem. This year's World Health Day, held on April 7, will focus on depression. The day will highlight the “Depression: let's talk" campaign. The campaign aims to make sure that people with depression both seek and get help.
7.According to the passage, what was the population of the world in 2015?
A. about 322 million B. about 128.8 million
C. about 8050 million D. about 18.4million
8.Which symptom is the worst among several symptoms?
A.feelings of low self-worth B. loss of interest

B. The pressures on today's youth are bigger than other generations.
C. The pressures on today's youth are the same as other generations.
D. The pressures on today's youth are not bigger than other generations.
10.What can cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth?
