10．Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing．
    Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the corps are in．But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest．On December 4，1619，the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City，Virginia．They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic．
    The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest．The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620．They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel．Many of the Pilgrims died．But the next year，they had a good harvest．So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast．The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast．Everyone brought food．
    In time，other colonies（殖民地） began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving．But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day．During the Civil War，Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it．He proclaimed（宣布） the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving．Today，Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November．Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors．But the Canadian thanks-giving day falls on the second Monday in October．

11．New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought．The findings，coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road．
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC，long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt．Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further，perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia．
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia．The agent，Zhang Qian，travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia，Syria and a place known as Lijion．Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times．His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers，China and Rome．Chinese silk，first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs，was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome．
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road．The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia．
 
74．The word"coupled"in the first paragraph could best be replaced byC．
A．produced             B．doubled           C．combined            D．contributed
75．What does the silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggest？A
A．That trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
B．Historical research often achieves fascinating results
C．Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
D．The new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
76．Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk RoadD．
A．extended human migration into eastern Asia
B．primarily benefited the Egyptians
C．began a million years ago
D．originated in the 2nd century BC
77．Why have Historians always considered Zhang Qian's mission important？B
A．Because it discovered the Silk Road
B．Because he helped establish East-West trade
C．Because he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor
D．Because he travelled as far as Afghanistan．

5．Phys ed （physical education） is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum（核心課程），but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum，the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope，children are taught to lift weights，balance their diets and build physical endurance．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life．
   Considering that 15percent of American children 6to 18are overweight，supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases，that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often"put P．E．on the chopping block，cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered，"says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg，the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum，"she added．
   The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement，partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
   Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．In the new P．E．program，children learn to lift weights，balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than（learn how to） climb a rope．
82．As for P．E．，some school boards eithercut in entirely or decrease the teachers or the days．
83．What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports？Less over all movement and few students playing sports after graduation．
84．What is the long-term benefit of the new P．E program？The skills learned can translate to adulthood．．

15．[1]"Maybe when I'm 90years old，I'll get used to having everything I do taken for granted，"a young homemaker told a secret to her neighbor，"If Bill would compliment me once in a while，he'd make my life much happier．"
[2]Few of us realize how much we need encouragement．Yet we must bask（沐浴于） in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence．
[3]All of us need to feel needed and admired．But unless we hear words of praise from someone else，how can we know that we are valued friends or co-workers？
[4]Anyone who wants to improve his relationships with others need only show a sympathetic understanding．The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness boils down to this：always look for something in the other person you can admire and praise and tell him about it．
[5]We each have a mental picture of ourselves，a self-image．To find life reasonably satisfying，that self-image must be one we can live with，one we can like．When we are proud of our self-image，we feel confident and free to be ourselves．We function at our best．When we are ashamed of our self-image，we attempt to hide it rather than express it．We become hard to get along with．
[6]A miracle happens to the person whose self-pride has been raised．He suddenly likes other people better．He is kinder and more cooperative with those around him．Praise is the polish that helps keep his self-image bright and sparkling．
[7]What has this to do with your giving praise？A lot．You have the ability to perform that kind of miracle in another person．When you add to his self-pride，you make him want to like you and to cooperate with you．
[8]In a classic bit of advice，Lord Chesterfield suggested to his son that he should follow the example of the Duke de Nivernoise："You will recognize that he makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves．"
[9]The effects of Praise can be great indeed．A new minister called to a church whose members were jokingly referred to as"a refrigerator"by other ministers decided against criticizing his people for their coolness toward strangers．Instead，he began welcoming visitors and telling them how friendly the members of the church were．Things gradually changed．"Praise transformed the ice-cube members into warmhearted human beings，"he said．

66．From paragraph[1]and paragraph[2]we can learn thatA．
A．the young homemaker had a thirst for Bill's praise
B．the neighbor reminded Bill to compliment the homemaker
C．it is well-known that we all need encouragement very much
D．getting other people's approval leads to losing self-confidence
67．According to the passage，we become difficult to get on with probably becauseB．
A．we want to show our self-image
B．we are not satisfied with our self-image
C．a(chǎn) miracle happens to other people
D．we are ashamed of being praised
68．The example in paragraph[8]tells us thatC．
A．Lord Chesterfield advised his son to praise the Duke de Nivernois
B．the Duke de Nivernois made Lord Chesterfield pleased with his son
C．praising other people will help win other people's compliment
D．receiving words of praise should go before praising other people
69．In paragraph[9]，"a refrigerator"was quoted probably becauseD．
A．it was always freezing cold in the church
B．the new minister criticized his people coolly
C．the church took the shape of a refrigerator

2．Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will．Those who believe they are not good at anything will forever feel unprepared．But those who believe that it is possible to succeed at what they attempt can surprise themselves．
Adam was ready to retire．His wife Anna，however，was less enthusiastic．As she explained to a friend，"Adam has never done anything that required physical strength．When he retires，he will sit in his easy chair and expect me to bring him his food．"
But to Anna's surprise，soon after her husband retired，he joined a health club．And one night，when Adam arrived home from exercise class，he announced，"I signed up for the wrestling tournament．I am going to wrestle Friday night．"Anna was shocked．"Please don't do it，Adam，"she begged．"You're not in shape．You will be so beat up that they will have to carry you home!"However，he couldn't be persuaded and she told him that if he went through with his"lame idea"，she was not going to watch．
True to her word，she stayed away as Adam wrestled．And just as she predicted，two men practically carried Adam home．He lay down on the couch，every muscle pained and wounded．Before she could speak，he blurted out，"Don't say a word，Anna!This is not the worst of it．I won tonight．I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!"
Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you．And if you have a low opinion of yourself，nobody else is likely to raise it．

21．How did Adam feel about his retirement？B
A．Worried．    B．Prepared．    C．Annoyed．D．Surprised．
22．What does the"lame idea"in Paragraph 3refer to？B
A．Adam's joining a health club．
B．Going to wrestle Friday night．
C．Being beat up by other wrestlers．
D．Adam's going to be carried home．
23．What can we learn from Adam's story？A
A．What you believe makes a difference．
B．Wrestling is a dangerous game．
C．The retired man is very stubborn．
D．A wife should support her husband．

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years．It came sudden and went on for over three hours．After lunch，I went into my room to have a rest．The air was hot，but all was quiet．Then a strong wind started to blow into my room．Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window．As I ran out to catch it，big drop of rain began to fall．When I come back into the house，it was raining more harder and harder．Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house．When I ran out to find out that had happened，a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom．
