In Canada, you can find dogs, cats and horses in almost every family. These are their pets.
People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (针剂) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store.
Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they can be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder (喂食器) in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go. Nobody can kill animals in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals. If you kill an animal，the law will punish you. If they hurt animals carelessly，they must be very sad about it.

One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because
nobody likes the idea of getting lost，I always prepare before every
trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-
tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?
Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail
(路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other
team used a map and compass．
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the
whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2
hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was
that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With
no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a
place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was
able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．
When I head out on my future hikes，I’m bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．
( )The two teams____．

The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol.The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out. How long and heavy can a giant panda grow to be?
