English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all government agencies in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate and receive services from the government in either English or French. Government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in certain bilingual regions. Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co-official languages. Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country. The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English and French and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does not offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase"where numbers justify" to indicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government. While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics Canada finds that over 200 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French.1.Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?A.The language-using tradition caused by colonial history.B.The commitment made by federal courts in the past.C.The welcome attitude towards people from all over the world.D.The command of two languages because of school education.2.Wliat is the current situation of official languages in Canada?A.People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal laws.B.The federal government has to provide bilingual services for all citizens in Canada.C.French minority communities are given more support than English minority communities.D.The Canadian government offers services according to the local populations language.3.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The Official Languages in CanadaB.Canada, a Multi-language LandC.Laws Decide the Language Used by PeopleD.The Federal Government Provides Support for Communities四、完形填空 It has been several decades since the UFO raced across the US and crashed near Kecksburg.
