His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out.

After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor.

By law food labels and many other printed notices in Canada must be in two languages---English and French. The reason is simple: many Canadians speak English but not French. Others speak French but not English. By requiring that label be printed in both languages, Canada is trying to ease the problems of living in a bilingual society. English is the dominant (important) language in most of Canada. In all provinces but Quebec, most of the people speak English. Quebec was the center of French settlement in colonial (殖民地的) times, and most of its people are descendants (后裔) of French settlers. Today nearly two out of three people in Quebec speak only French. Communities of French-speaking people also live in other provinces, especially in the Maritime Provinces. French Canadians are bound (约束) together not only by language but also by religion. Like their French ancestors (祖先), most are Roman Catholics. Most English-speaking Canadians are Protestants.61. Why does the food label must be printed in two languages in Canada? A.
