We all know the strange feeling of watching the time change on a clock. You never really see it change because the hands move so slowly. But, of course, the time is changing all the time.

Human faces, like clock faces, are also changing. And like clocks, the changes take place too slowly to be noticed. Over many thousands of years, though, huge changes are possible. For example, the human brain is three times as large as it was thousands of years ago. Our faces became fatter, and began to think more.

If our heads became larger in the past, how will things change in the future? Unlike the changes of a clock face, the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict(預(yù)測). One of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, all changes were natural, but now we can actively choose paths for our own evolution(進(jìn)化).

A US artist named Nickolay Lamm has recently offered an idea. It is what human faces may one day look like. The designs, inspired（受啟發(fā))by his conversations with the scientist Alan, show humans with larger heads and eyes. In particular(特別的), Lamm predicts the forehead may be larger because of increasing usage of the brain.

Just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields. However, nowadays more and more people receive education. These are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will become in the future. But with such huge changes in our environments, it seems likely(很可能)that we will not look the same in the future.

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with almost 10 million square kilometres of landmass. Due to(由于) its size, it is divided into four different regions(地區(qū)).

The Atlantic Provinces

Fishing is the old industry in this region. Agricultural crops, such as fruit and potatoes, and forests, which produce paper and lumber(木材), form part of the industry. Traditionally depending on fishing and farming, they are developing other natural resources, such as oil and copper.

Central Canada

Ontario and Quebec form the industrial and manufacturing(制造業(yè)的) heart of Canada. They produce three quarters of Canada’s goods. More than half of Canada’s population lives in the cities in the southern part of Ontario and Quebec. Most of the people living in Quebec speak French.

The West Coast

The British Columbia Coast is Canada’s western continental coastline(海岸線 ). Europeans settled(定居) in British Columbia in the early 1800s. The railroad built by the government in the late 1800s made moving much easier. Thousands of Chinese came to British Columbia during this period to work on the railroad. British Columbia has the most valuable forest industry in Canada.

Salmon(鮭魚) fishing is not only a popular sport, but also an important part of the industry. Pacific salmon are exported(出口) all over the world.

The North

The Yukon and the Northwest Territories(領(lǐng)土) cover a third of Canada. This huge region has a very small population. Most of the people are natives. There are several native languages, which are equal(平等的) in status(地位) to English and French. During the Gold Rush at the end of the 1800s, thousands of miners(礦工) came to make their fortune(財富). Mining is still an important industry in this region.

【1】What’s the old industry in the Atlantic Provinces?

【2】What language do most of the people living in Quebec speak?

【3】Why did thousands of Chinese go to British Columbia in the late 1800s?

【4】What is still an important industry in the North region?

For thousands of years, dogs have held a special place in people’s hearts. They are known as “ man’s best friend” . This is because they can be so brave, lovely, and loyal（忠誠）. Dogs are used to living in groups and following the leader. Now humans are their leaders. Dogs depend on people for food— mostly meat— and perform services in return.

Long long ago, dogs worked for people. They ran after wild animals, caught them on land and water, and protected houses. They are used to send messages, look after sheep, and even save people in snow. They help police find out what they want. Fast-runningdogs are used in races.

Dogs have many abilities that make them useful. Sharp teeth are only one of these. Most dogs can smell something human can’t smell and hear higher notes than any person. And although dogs don’t see many colors, they are very good at noticing movements.

Dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and characters. A big Irish dog stands about 32 inches tall. However,some dogs stand about only 5 inches tall. Dogs that can guard homes are intelligent. Police dogs are usually quite brave. But many different kinds of dogs now make playful family pets.

Dogs have been kept to work for human for a long history. When Pompeii— the ancient Italian city that was buried about 1900 years ago— was dug out, a dog was found lying across a child. It was trying to protect the child.
