Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no different. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.

Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.

First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.

But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.

Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.

The purpose of the text is to ________.

A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day

B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Day

C. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Day

D. introduce the American Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day the author’s family do the following except ________.

A. watching a movie                   B. making visits

C. having a big meal                   D. watching football

Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?

A. He is too thankful to say a word.

B. His mind is on the food before him.

C. He feels too excited to speak.

D. He is shy to speak in public.

The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. chat with others                   B. make a hole

C. mix things up                     D. start eating

What can we conclude from the text?

A. On Thanksgiving Day, men do nothing but eat.

B. The author is a middle school student.

C. The author’s family is not rich, but it’s a loving one.

D. Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December.

When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler   41    everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling. I    42    there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to    43    people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied. A (An)    44    was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.    45    a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company   46    as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my    47  . Many people were surprised that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my    48    to start my own company and leave my secure position after    49    a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a (an)     50     to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a    51   ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that   52    I accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was born.
Having made that decision, I was immediately    53   . One week after I handed in my notice (辭職信), my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no    54   . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several    55   engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

C.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?

The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.

Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated (脫水)at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.

These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.

There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.

63. We need _____for a healthy diet.

A. fibre        B. food       C. water    D. Water and different foods

64. From the text, we know water can carry_________.

A.energy and fibre in our bodies     

B.fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies

C.sugar and fat out of our bodies

D.poisons and waste out of our bodies

65. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.

A.they think they are hungry and eat too much

B.they think they are thirsty and eat less

C.water has no calories

D.it makes them hungry

66. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A.Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.

B.Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.

C.Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.

D.The amount of water a person should drink in a day.

Of all my teachers, Mr. Brown is the one who impresses me mostly. Mr. Brown teaches us physics. Though he is in late forties, he looks very young for his age. And he is one of the most popular teachers in our school. Comparing with other teachers, he pays much attention to his way of teaching. He tries various ways make his classes lively and interesting. In his opinion, we should not only know “what”, but also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he encourages us to think of ourselves whenever he puts forward some questions. Under his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle physical problems. How a wonderful world of “why” he leads us to! He is so inspiring a teacher that we all admire.
