Canada Day
Since 1982, July 1st has been officially known as Canada Day. Canadians
of all ages take part in this festival across the country.
Canada Day is the year’s biggest national party. In many towns and cities,
the government organizes a lot of events, often outdoors. These include parades
(游行), concerts, festivals, firework displays and ceremonies for new
Canadian citizens(公民). The celebrations often have a patriotic mood. Canada’s
national flag, a symbol for Canada Day, can be seen everywhere and a lot of

people paint their faces red and white, which are Canada’s national colors. The
celebrations in Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, are especially grand and exciting.
In the province of Quebec, many home rentals(租赁)start on July 1st and
last for exactly one year, and many people in Quebec spend Canada Day
moving from one house to another. So in Quebec, Canada Day is also known
as Moving Day.
Many organizations, businesses and stores are closed this day. Only some
bookstores, hospitals and gas stations may be open. Post offices are closed, too.
As Canada Day falls in the Canadian summer holiday period, all schools are
closed as well. In some areas, special services are provided for large events.
The concerts, parades and festivals may cause some traffic jams.

We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.But in fact,the differences are more fun to study,as BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently from Americans. We have picked out four for you.Take a look.
When someone knocks into you
If someone knocks into an American,the victim (受害者)will probably look at the aggressor(冒失 者 )in the face and expect an expression of regret. If,however,the victim happens to be British,thevictim will say"sorry"before the other person says it.
When you get dressed for dinner
Britons don't all change into evening dresses for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows.But they do try to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice.Americans, however,will probably wear a common shirt to a nice restaurant.

When you don't finish your food
Britons wouldn't think to take the leftovers home when dining out at a restaurant.They think the food is somehow“tainted(污染的) ”because they've stuck at it with a knife and fork.But in the US,packing it up to take home is a custom.
When you get into a taxi
Britons will give the taxi driver an address, then they don't say anything with the driver before it's time to pay.Sometimes they're being taken in a wrong way,they don't like to say anything, either.In the US,however,most passengers will tell the driver which way to go after telling him or her the address.
