Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about.
British physicist Stephen hawking, possible the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein, gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）.
His books, such as A Brief History of Time, become bestsellers in Chinese bookstores. “Hawking helps people enlarge their horizons and become interested in science,” said Pan Yunhe, president of Zhejiang University.
Indeed, experts don’t think it likely that Hawking’ s lectures and profound（深奥的） ideas will be easily understood by the average person. But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people.
And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask: How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking?
“Nurturing（培养）top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves,” said Zhang Fan. Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and will be a second – year student at Trinity College in October.
In Britain, Zhang said, teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in. And they encourage students to develop new ideas, which helps them to nurture their creativity.
In China, the Department of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to develop students’ potential（潜力）.
“I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own,” said Lu Jie, a Junior Three student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.
63. _________ have made young people take Hawking as their idol.
A. Hawking’ s ongoing devotion to science
B. the fact that Hawking is a famous physicist
C. Hawking’ s lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing
D. the fact that Hawking can just move three fingers
64. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “horizons” means “_________”.
A. one’s knowledge of science B. one’s sight of the subjects
C. the area of one’s knowledge D. the line where earth and sky meet
65. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. Hawking’ s books were not popular in China before his visit
B. most schools in China provide quality education to develop students’ potential
C. to nurture top scientists, teachers should solve all the problems for the students
D. ordinary people in China may find Hawking’ s ideas beyond their comprehension
66. The last three paragraphs mainly tell us_______.
A. students in Sanfan middle school are more imaginative
B. teachers should encourage students to be more creative
C. British students do not work as hard as Chinese students
D. top scientists won’t appear even if schools provide quality education

When the first European arrived in the land now called Canada, around 400 years ago, there were about 350,000 native people living there. Most of these people were later forced to live in separate places, called reserves, away from the cities where the Europeans settled.
The French and the British both settled in Canada and fought for the control of it. Finally in 1763 Britain defeated France and Canada became a British colony. Today both English and French are the official languages of Canada. Most French-speakers live in Quebec Province.
Canada became a separate country from Britain in 1867. At that time it had a population of 3.4 million. Today Canada’s population is 30 million as a result of immigration（移民）.
The first Chinese immigrated to Canada in the late 1800s. More have recently arrived and like to live in either Toronto, Canada’s largest city, or in Vancouver on the Pacific coast.
Canada is a cold, northern country with long winters, so winter sports are popular. Ice hockey is known as Canada’s national sport. However, Canadians also like to make the most of the short summer and enjoy picnics by the lakes or hiking in the mountains.
Canadians love to travel across their huge country and usually do so by car. But to get to some places you need to take a ferry. Really long journeys from the east to the west coast are taken by train or by plane.
Canadians celebrate many different holidays. One of the most important is Canada Day on July 1st which recalls when Canada became united. Another important day honors Britain’s Queen Victoria. It is called Victoria Day and is held on the last Monday in May. Like the USA, Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving.

A. Canada has a history of about 400 years long
