THE ROCKIES

The Rocky Mountains run almost the length of North America. They start in the North West, but lie only hundred miles from the centre in the more southern areas. Although the Rockies may not have peaks as high as the Alps, they are no less beautiful. There are many roads across the Rockies, the best way to see them is to travel by train.

You start from Vancouver, the most attractive of Canada's big cities. Standing with its feet in the water and its head in the mountains, this city  its residents to ski on slopes just 15 minutes by car from the city centre. Visitors often spend a day or two exploring the harbour and nearby parks before beginning their journey into the mountains.

Thirty passenger trains a day used to off from Vancouver on the cross-continent railway. Now there are just three a week, but the ride is still a great adventure. You sleep on board, which is fun, but travel through some of the best . Many travellers say that watching the sunrise over the mountains from the train window is one of the most memorable parts of the whole journey.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Do you like eating salsa and chips? Or do you like ketchup on your fries? Then you must like tomatoes, the main ingredient in these sauces. Tomatoes first came from South America, where people have eaten them for thousands of years. Today, they are popular all over the world. But when tomatoes were first brought to other places, many people worried about eating them.

Old Aztec writings talk about a dish made of tomatoes, peppers, and salt - maybe the first salsa recipe! When Spanish soldiers took over the Aztecs, they brought tomato seeds back to Europe. There, people first called the yellow tomatoes "golden apples." For many years, people in Northern Europe and North America did not want to eat them because the plant looked like a poisonous plant. Some Germans even believed eating tomatoes could turn a person into a werewolf! Even so, by the mid-1800s, people around the world had accepted tomatoes as safe and tasty food.

But tomatoes still caused another argument. Are they a fruit or a vegetable? Scientists say tomatoes are fruits. But in the United States, the law says they are vegetables. In the 1800s, fruits brought into America did not need to pay tax, but vegetables did. Many tomatoes were coming from other countries, and American farmers worried about losing money. So the government made a law saying tomatoes were vegetables, meaning imported tomatoes had to pay tax too.
