Why not an island get-away?
Newfoundland
Price
From £1080 per person in June 2005
We went with:
Frontier Canada frontier-travel. Co. uk/Canada
About this trip
John Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.
Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.
First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.
An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.
小題1:The title “Why not an island get-away?” _________.
A．invites people to take a holiday trip to Newfoundland
B．informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to be
C．tells people that they can buy the island at the price of £1080.
D．a(chǎn)sks people to visit the website frontier-travel. co.uk/Canada
小題2:From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” is the name of _________.
A．a(chǎn) tourist guide
B．a(chǎn) kind of fish found around the island
C．a(chǎn) tourist agency
D．someone who has already booked the trip
小題3:When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find ____.
A．North AmericaB．Asia
C．South AmericaD．the British Empire
小題4:According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _________.
A．UKB．CanadaC．EuropeD．Bonavista
小題5:In the past the Newfoundlanders mainly lived by _________.
A．teaching languagesB．making camper vans
C．looking after retired fishermenD．fishing cod

A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of the nearly fifty men who come to apply, the man selected one and dismissed the others.
“I should like to know,” said a friend, “the reason you preferred that boy, who brought not a single letter—not a recommendation (介紹信)，”
“You are wrong” said the gentleman. He had a great man. He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door after him, indicating that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to that old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.
“ All the rest stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor.” He picked it up and placed it on the table; and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.
When I asked to him, I noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair, and his clean fingernails. “ Can’t you see that these things are excellent recommendations? I consider them more significant than letters.”
