Passage 32

Today the official language of the United Sates and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indian fought on the side of the French.

France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.

The French, aided by Indians, outsmarted（更精明） the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both general died in this battle,

法兰西印第安战争发生在1754年到1763年。但是这场战争的命名并不正确，因为这场战争事实上发生在英法两国间。印第安人和法国人结盟。

英法两国企图取得北美的主要控制权。法国控制加拿大，英国控制今日美国的部分领土。然而，法国想要向南方扩大领土到纽约，宾夕法尼亚，俄亥俄，弗吉尼亚。当1754年法国人在俄亥俄河建立据点的时候，弗吉尼亚人让乔治.华盛顿去攻打这个据点。然而，法国人打败了华盛顿。

法国人得到了印第安人的帮助，战胜了英国人赢得了早期的许多战斗。之后英国人对法国人取得了优势。最后的战役发生在在加拿大魁北克，来自英国的乌尔夫将军和来自法国的蒙卡尔将军对决战场，并且都在战斗中死亡，不过英国人最后坚持了下来并且赢得了最后的战斗。因此，今天绝大多数北美地区传承英国文化和英语。

Passage 34

People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term \just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term－quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.

Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
