26、le border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago whenhe returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关) station in this
27、 area is closed on Sundays，so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May,following a tightening of border security.

28、 border illegally.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May.

32、 Church VisitD“Newspapers should become the leading local Internet ad agency, which goes against ancient newspaper instinct (本能) of not ever helping anyone who is your competitor,” says managing director Stephen Gray. “But the fact is that audiences have split in a million directions, so here we are

Thats what it takes to succeed and ad agencies have been making a living off doing that for some time.”Its actually not a bad idea
