　　"THE TRUE NORTH" FROM TORONTO

　　TO MONTREAL

　　The next morning the bushes① and maple② trees outside their windows were red, gold and orange, and there was frost③ on the ground, confirming④ that fall⑤ had arrived in Canada⑥.

　　Around noon they arrived in Toronto, the biggest and most wealthy⑦ city in Canada⑧.They were not leaving for Montreal until later, so they went on a tour of⑨ the city.They went up the tall CN Tower⑩ and looked across the lake.In the distance⑪， they could see the misty⑫ cloud that rose from the great Niagara⑬ Falls, which is on the south side of the lake.The water flows into the Niagara River⑭ and over the falls on its way to the sea.

　　They saw the covered stadium, home of⑮ several famous basketball teams.As they walked north from the

　　harbour area⑯， Li Daiyu said, "Lin Fei, one of my mother's old schoolmates⑰， lives here.I should phone her from a telephone booth⑱."

　　They met Lin Fei around dusk in downtown⑲ Chinatown, one of the three in Toronto.Over dinner⑳ at a restaurant called The Pink Pearl\s\up1(21(21)， the cousins chatted with Lin Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earlier."We can get good Cantonese\s\up1(22(22) food here，" Lin Fei told them, "because most of the Chinese people here come from South China, especially Hong Kong.It's too bad you can't go as far as\s\up1(23(23) Ottawa, Canada's capital.It's approximately\s\up1(24(24) four hundred kilometres northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long."
