On Thanksgiving Day, about 88 percent Americans will eat turkey. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous! Every year, turkey farmers present a turkey to the US president. But instead of eating this turkey, the president gives it a “pardon”. The turkey is flown to Florida for a Thanksgiving Parade(游行). Then it lives on a farm for the rest of its life.

Turkeys come from America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America’s national bird.

Turkeys that are kept on farms are large, awkward birds that can not fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at speeds up to 88 kilometers per hour. They can also run at 40 kilometers per hour.

Turkeys don’t have ears. They hear by using a growth above their beaks(尖喙). But their hearing is five times better than human hearing.

Turkeys are such interesting birds—no wonder Benjamin Franklin wanted them to be America’s national birds!

閱讀下面的短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答所提問題。

Dear Lin Tao,

I am writing to you in English. I hope you can understand it.

I love studying in London and I have many new friends. Most of them are my classmates. From Monday to Friday, we have English, math, physics and P. E. in the morning. I like English and physics, because they’re interesting. I don’t like math. It’s too boring. At noon, I have to have lunch at school because my home is far from my school. We usually have two classes in the afternoon—art and politics. We finish our classes at 3:30 p. m. After school, my friends and I always play football on the playground. And then we go home by bus.

On weekends, we have no classes. We often go to the park and sometimes we go to the movies in the evening. We see movies twice a month. I like some famous actors like Jackie Chan.

Oh, I have no time to write more. Please write back soon.

Best wishes,

Wang Gang

綜合填空

閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及首字母提示,在空白處填入一個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~,必要時進(jìn)行詞形變化。

I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made preparations for the 1. t for the last few days, and I expected to get 2. r for several days.

As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.

How to keep in touch with your kids when you' re busy or far away is a dilemma (兩難的問題) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long period, but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn' t always an easy thing. And if you don' t 3. s your kids that you're thinking about them, they may think that you don' t care.

As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to 4. t back to my house and wrote a short message on a5. c of cards to each of my children. I put each in a " secret" place where I knew they'd find it.

When I called the next night, they both said excitedly," Daddy, I got your card. When did you do that?"

I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing had a big influence on my kids. It proved(證明) that they were in my 6. h . And distance (距離) couldn' t separate them from their 7.f . To my satisfaction, they feel "love" of their father. This 8. v experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.

As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay 9.l attention to the small things. Don' t miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.

Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won' t 10. s small to them.
