二、阅读理解
1、Today the official language（官方语言） of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost （差一点） 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（精确的, 准确的） because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain（获得） control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand（扩张） its land by moving southward（南方的） into New York, Pennsylvania(宾夕法尼亚州), Ohio(俄亥俄州), and Virginia(维吉尼亚). When the French built a fort（堡垒）on the Ohio River, the residents(居民) in Virginia sent George Washington(乔治华盛顿) to attack(攻击) the fort in 1752. However, the French defeated（ 战胜,击败 ） Washington.
The French, aided（援助） by the Indians, outsmarted（比…..聪明） the English and won many early battles（战役）. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec(魁北克), Canada, General Wolfe(乌尔夫) of England faced General Montcalm(蒙卡尔姆) from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted（比…..持久）the French and won the battle. Thus(于是), most of North America today has the English culture and language.
