1．Canadians have many natural wonders with enough lakes，mountains and rivers to explore for a lifetime.Here are some of the best waterfalls in Canada.

Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada.They are actually made up of three different falls，with Horseshoe Falls being the only one located on the Canadian side.Different viewing choices are available including the Hornblower boat cruise （游船）.In 2007，the base of the falls was referred to as "World's End" in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean：At World's End.

Bridal Veil Falls are located in the east of Chilliwack，British Columbia，and really do look like their name，with water gently pouring over smooth rock.An easy 15-minute walk to the falls takes you through rich leaves.Picnic tables are available，and there are lots of chances for viewing wild plants and animals along the way.
Takakkaw Falls
Yoho National Park，British Columbia
Takakkaw Falls are the second-highest waterfalls in Canada.After a drive up a wandering road，these falls are only a short hike from the parking lot.Even though the falls can be seen from far away，the wonderful up-close views，impressive sound and cold mist provide an awe-inspiring （使人敬畏的） sensory experience.

3．Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from？Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food？There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.
On an individual level，we grow up eating the food of our cultures.It becomes a part of who we are.Many of us associate （联系） food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families，holding a special and personal value for us.When I was sick as a kid，my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me.The smell and taste of the soup became something very familiar to me.Now，whenever I feel tired or stressed，I feel hungry for that soup.
On a larger scale（范围），food is an important part of culture.Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next.It also operates as an expression of cultural identity.Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.
The food does not remain exactly the same.What stays the same is the extent to which each country or community's unique cuisine can reflect its unique history，lifestyle，values，and beliefs.
In China，harmony is a vital trait （特征） in almost every aspect of life.This is reflected in Chinese cuisine，where almost every flavor is used in a balanced way，creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together.Historically，Chinese people have an ornate（华美的） style，which can be seen in their architecture and costumes，as well as in their food.They believe that food not only needs to be nutritious but also needs to look appealing，so they put a lot of effort into decorating the dishes and making them look colorful.
As the world becomes more globalized，it's easier to access cuisines from different cultures.It's important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture it belongs to，and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a portal （入口） into culture，and it should be treated as such.
