Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.

In 1620, the settlers sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship(崇拜). After a hard two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or diseases. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony(殖民地) depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a harvest rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the God be fixed. Years later, President of the United States declared the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been held on that date until today.

The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey filled with a bread dressing(填充物) to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to reach an agreement on the precise kind of dressing for the royal bird.

Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year’s abundant harvest and ask for continued blessings.

62. The settlers thought that their good harvest ____________

      A. came naturally                        B. was due to their hard work

LAST week's decision by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to strip Pluto(冥王星) of its planetary status, held since its discovery in 1930, has saddened those with a strong love of it.

"Pluto, once the smallest of the Nine Great Planets” writes American science writer Dava Sobel, in her book "The Planets", " is still loved by people, old and young."

Many people felt sorry about Pluto's demotion(降级).

"I just cannot accept this at this time," says Liu Ming, 29, who co-runs a small logistic(物流)company an Shanghai.

"I was taught that 'the Nine Great Planets' formed our solar system since primary school. And now they suddenly decrease the planets to eight. This will take some time for most of us to absorb it," says Liu.

Ordinary people simply feel nostalgic(怀旧), but for some professionals, especially planetarium (天文馆)curators(博物馆馆长)and educators, the change has become a real headache.

The "eight instead of nine" change will affect thousands of planetariums around the world. Schools will also be greatly affected.

In China, teachers are anxious as outdated textbooks are printed and released to the remotest corner of the country for schoolchildren ready to start a new term soon.

According to the Ministry of Education, new textbooks with modified(修正的) contents will not be available until next year.

Zhao Zhiheng, a member of the Astronomy Association from Tianjin, suggested that primary and middle school teachers be trained in the revised knowledge, and that the media carry more stories to let people know about the change as soon as possible.
  68.Which word similar to “strip” in meaning?

A reduce    B decrease    C cross out     D leave out

69. What is the correct order of the events described in the passage?

a  New textbooks with Pluto stripped of plants in solar system are released

b  Pluto was discovered

c The International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of its planetary status

d Outdated textbooks were printed and released to schoolchildren .

A b d a c       B b c d a       C b d c a         D b a c d

70. Which description is Not True ?

A The fact that Pluto has lost its planetary status made some people sad.

B That Pluto is decreased from nine to eight affected thousands of planetariums around the world .

C Textbooks with the “eight instead of nine” change have been released for school children ready to start a new term.

D The media are advised to be used to let people know about the change as soon as possible.
