Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went into exile in the Ontario region of Canada, From there they spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within fifty years, the population of Upper Canada (above Montreal) reached 100,000 ~ mainly people from the United States In the east, the Atlantic Provinces had been settled by English speakers much earlier (the first contacts were as early as 1497, when the British explorer John Cabot claimed Newfoundland), but even today these areas contain less than 10 percent of the population, so they have only a marginal role in the development of the Canadian “norm”. In Quebec, the use of French language and culture remains from the first period of exploration, with the majority of people using French as their mother tongue: here, English and French coexist uneasily. Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North ‘America, and is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound ‘American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view. g GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE 32+11, Which is the best title for this passage? 2 1B. 4, (A) The Main Provinces in Canada (B) The Settlement of the English in Canada (©) The Origins of Canadian English () The Different English Branches Why did the Bs the very beginning? @ (B) Because they were defeated and forced to leave 's supporters go to Canada at Because it was cooler in Canada in summer for Canada (©) Because they were attracted by the cheapness of land in Canada (D) Because they all hated the new United States In the second paragraph, the word marginal is ‘closest in meaning to ‘ (A) special (B) optional (©) international (D) unimportant What can we infer from the second paragraph?

Britain’s victory allowed it to control most of the territories in North America, They ruled the New World from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. However, fighting against France cost a lot of money, and the British government decided that the colonies in America should also pay for this war.

Consequently, the Protestant Reformation, putting heavy emphasis on personal faith and the authority of the Bible, swept through northern Germany and Scandinavia, ‘Not satisfied with conservative reform, many sects developed other forms of worship. One point of contention of the reform movement was baptism, which, it was believed, should only be performed on adults who consciously accepted the teachings of Jesus Christ, Adult baptisms became identified with the so-called Radical Reformation movement.

These Swiss Anabaptists became known as Mennonites, after @ Roman Catholie priest, Menno Simons, who led them in the Netherlands and northern Germany in the 1530s.

Without the Nile River, the great civilization of ancient Egypt may never have existed. Until about nine thousand years ago, all of Egypt was under water. When the climate began to turn dry, tribes moved from North Africa to land near the river Small villages appeared along the banks of the Nile. Each village had a chief who would battle other villages. Around 3300 [BCE, these tribes came together to form the civilization of ancient Egypt. (One reason ancient Egypt was built around the Nile River was because its yearly flood made farming possible. The flood ‘was so important that religious leaders would perform ceremonies that were believed to cause the river to rise and flood, The flood made the land very good for growing grains such as wheat and barley. Farmers began to plant these crops in November, right after the flood. Because of the Nile, they were usually able to grow a lot of erops. Ifthe grain was not used, it would be stored for later use. Historians believe this is one reason that ancient Egypt became a powerful and wealthy nation. ‘The Nile also served as an important means of transportation. Ancient Egypt did not have the wheel, so there were no ‘wagons or carts back then, However, ancient Egyptians leamed to build boats so that when the Nil flooded they could use the river as a main road throughout Egypt. It is said that without the Nile, there would be no pyramids. This is because historians think that the huge stones were carried on the river by boat.

Listen to a teacher talking in a history class ‘The Industrial Revolution began in England in the middle of the 18th century and spread to the rest of Europe and the United States in the early 19th century. This era changed the way people worked and lived. New ‘machines were invented, and a large part of the population moved from the countryside to urban areas, Before the Industrial Revolution, people worked at home, on farms or in small workshops. Making cloth was done entirely by hand, Cotton was spun to thread or yam on a spinning wheel. In the 1700s, people began buying more and more goods, so textile traders began to look for faster and cheaper ways of producing clothes. ‘The first spinning machine came up in the early 18th century, and by 1780, spinning was done mostly in new factories where workers gathered. New machines that were introduced during the Industrial Revolution needed more and mote power to work. Upto the 18th century, England got most of its energy from waterwheels that were run by the flow of rivers, In the 1760s, the Scottish engineer James Watt invented the steam engine. It was able to run factory machines and ‘was powered by coal, which was Great Britain's primary raw material The Industrial Revolution could not have developed without coal and iron. Coal was needed to make steam engines run and to produce iron. At the beginning of the 18th century, iron makers found a way to extract pure iron out of iron ore. They used coke, which was purer than coal and burned hotter, to melt the ore, Asa result, the iron production increased, and by the early 1800s, enough iron was produced to make the goods that people needed, like machine frames, water pipes, rails, ete.Narrator Narrator Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Girl Man Gin Man Gin Man Girl Man Girl Man Narrator ‘Now answer the questions. 26.
