Imagine yurself sitting in a cafe ne day in yur hmetwn, when n the next table yu hear sme peple speaking English with a strng Nrth American accent (口音)Being a friendly persn, yu smile and say, “Hi! Are yu American?” “N,” cmes the quick answer. “Canadian!” Calling an English-speaking Canadian an American can be as bad as telling a Sctsman that he’s English r a Swiss persn that he’s German. Althugh they have a cmmn language, there are differences in culture and natinal feeling. “N,” many Canadians will tell yu with cnfidence, “we’re nt Americans! We’re Canadians.”
Abut 80% f Canadians live within 150 kilmeters f the US brder (国界), and this has had a detrimental influence n the Canadian ecnmy. Like mst Eurpean cuntries, Canada has a gd natinal health service, and a gd scial service, but the gd services have t be paid fr by high taxes(税).

But the American influence is nt just a questin f shpping. Lts f Canadians drive American cars, and cars are, almst as imprtant in Canada as they are in the USA. There is televisin t.
While Quebecers watch their wn French-language TV statins, English-speaking Canadians have a chice between lcal English-speaking televisin statins, natinal prgrammes frm CBC, and many American televisin statins. Unless they want t watch lcal statins, they’re just as likely t chse ne f the big American televisin statins which include many different types f prgrammes as they are t a Canadian televisin statin.

Imagine a wrld withut insects. It might sund gd at first withut creepy-crawly bugs and annying flies in yur apartment. Hwever, the cnsequences wuld be disastrus.
The number f insects has drpped by mre than half in the past decades, accrding t British bilgist Dave Gulsn, authr f Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apcalypse. As insects make up mst f the knwn species n this planet, this data is nt gd news.
Insects are indeed n the path t extinctin, accrding t the first glbal scientific review f insect ppulatin decline, which was published in the jurnal Bilgical Cnservatin in January 2019. The researchers say intensive agriculture has been the main cause f the decline. Pesticides (杀虫剂), in particular, destry insect habitats. Urbanizatin and climate change are als significant factrs. “Unless we cnvert ur ways f prducing fd, insects will g dwn the path f extinctin in a few decades.”
What wuld happen t Earth withut insects? It’s almst impssible t predict, but the cnsequences wuld be far—reaching. We need insects t pllinate (授粉) crps, recycle plant and animal material, keep the sil healthy and much mre. Withut insects, many animals wuld have nthing t eat, and the predatrs (捕食者) f thse animals wuld g hungry as well. The ecsystem wuld be thrwn ff balance.
“If insect species lsses cannt be halted, this will have catastrphic cnsequences fr bth the planet’s ecsystems and fr the survival f mankind,” said Sanchez-Bay, ne f the authrs f the review. The first step t halt this prcess is “t engender a sciety that values the natural wrld, bth fr what it des fr us and fr its wn sake”, Sanchez—Bay suggests. “The bvius place t start is with ur children, encuraging envirnmental awareness frm an early age.”

A. Quite unpleasant.B. Very interesting.
C. Extremely helpful.D. Unexpectedly disastrus.
13. What des the underlined wrd in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Change.B. Abandn.C. Expand.D. Simplify.
14. Why are insects s imprtant t Earth accrding t this article?
A. Insects ensure the earth’s diversity.
B. Insects maintain the earth ecsystem.
C. Insects make the sil dry and healthy.
D. Insects help slw dwn climate change.
