The Thanksgiving turkey is the cause of stress for me. I have ________ it as an enemy on Thanksgiving.

Over the years I had tried just every method of cooking the turkey. When I just got married I tried the traditional pan roasting method. But I forgot to buy my turkey ________ the day before Thanksgiving. And I bought a big one because I wanted to be sure to have enough turkey for everyone. Unfortunately, it wasn’t thawed (解凍) by the time I needed to cook it. I ended up with a dry turkey overcooked on the outside and rarely done ________. And I had lots and lots of leftover turkey because nobody liked it.

The following year I was busy with a baby. So again I forgot to buy my turkey in time to get it ________ thawed. I had to be up most of the night before Thanksgiving running cold water over my turkey to get it thawed. The turkey ended up turning out okey but I was so tired and sleepy by the time I served dinner.

The next year I got a method of cooking turkey from local radio in early November. I was ________ to give it a try. Making that turkey was like taking care of a baby for nearly two days. I was so pleased with that turkey. I thought it was going to be the best tasting turkey ever since it was the most ________ I ever put in making turkey. But that didn’t happen. Nobody liked the flavour of the turkey.

I decided not to make one this year. But my family thought it wasn't Thanksgiving without turkey. The Thanksgiving turkey has been a yearly joke at our house and when I don’t make one there is nothing to complain about.

任務(wù)型閱讀請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白處填上適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~（注意：每空1個(gè)單詞）。

If we agree that education is used to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we should teach children something really useful. Here is what our school should teach．

Politeness is a mark of civilization(文明). The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be achieved by a smile and good manners. Like it or not, our adults work hard for money, but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning．

We're likely to accept something we are told, but that's not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的) thinking．

Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food, they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke．

All of us are part of society. We have rights and duties. We should understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to communicate with the people around us.

In a word, our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: “This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it."

Very Useful Education

Introduction

Education should help children 1. ready for life．
