Time to give thanks

When it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind. It’s the right picture, but it’s not complete.

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts. It’s about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs. Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day.

1. Time for prayers and paying back

Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries. Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day. The churches provide worship (禮拜) services and organize special events for the occasion.

Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (給予) them in the form of friends and family.

Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back.

2. Family reunions and showing gratitude

Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving. Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.

1. 以約30個詞概括上文的主要內(nèi)容。

(2) 以你自己的經(jīng)歷或者身邊的人為例，闡述重視感恩的必要性；

(3) 總結(jié)你的觀點。

【答案】

This passage is mainly about the customs of a western traditional festival, Thanksgiving Day, which mainly includes the two rules that Americans usually abide by during the festival.

After reading the passage, I had a better understanding of Thanksgiving Day. In my opinion, since the festival has a lovely and healthy theme, why not do as the Americans do? Don’t you think giving thanks to things and people around us is very necessary? We can’t deny it is a good chance to spread kindness and consideration.

Take myself for example. Because I am busy in studying on weekdays, I have little time to look after my parents, which makes me guilty. In order to reward them and make them relaxed on the weekend, I get up early in the morning and prepare breakfast for them willingly, which makes them delighted.

So it is vital for us to have a grateful heart and show our thanks to anything good and any person that is nice.

【題目】The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and had been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt： "The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?" I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

"If you come by right now, " the receptionist said, " the dentist will fit you in. "

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. "

"How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently. "Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, "the assistant said.

"The artwork?" I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it ： on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was ！ At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!

It appear that people don't need phone boxes any longer. In a small British village, people decided to turning a red phone box into a library.

【題目】I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

There, a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription (處方). I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.

When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line, I am thrilled. And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting, "When it comes to cashiers, make mine human, please!"

After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (優(yōu)惠券) for items you are buying. Even more than that, real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mother's day. A cashier may also show compassion (同情)for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.

What technological device would do any of this? I don't want to go back to the Stone Age, but I'm also worried about a world run by machines. Sometimes when you're chatting with someone, you discover things you need to know. Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child. Maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired.

Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine. But they lack an element so important to everyday life.

Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It is something no machine will ever have. It is being human that prompts us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment.

【1】What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs?

A. To indicate high technology can make our future life very easy.

B. To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life.

C. To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors.

D. To predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctoring the future.

【2】Why does the author prefer being served by humans rather than by robots?

A. Robots are indifferent and emotionless.

B. Robots can't provide efficient services.

C. Robots don't offer to give store coupons.

D. Robots are unable to do a job as well as humans.

【3】What's the author's attitude towards machines?

A. He wishes one day they would come to life.

B. He is absolutely against their existence in his life.

C. He doesn't like they get involved in his life too much.

D. He is afraid they would take the place of human beings.

【題目】More than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels they use. Most live in Africa, India and China. They use wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.

The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. People having less money use wood or biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. It's estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.

The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on top to put a pot.

In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not efficient. The used twice as much wood as an open fire, and took much longer to heat food. Since then, they have experimented with count-less other designs.

Their goal is to make an inexpensive stove—let's say five dollars— that makes little smoke, and it's safe for health and reduces global warming and deforestation(采伐森林).

Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in China. The company is making Aprovecho's first mass produced stoves. They are said to use 40% - 50% less wood than an open fire, and produce 50% -70% less smoke. A company called Stove-Tec is selling them through its Web site for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than one hundred thousand have been sold so far.

A. oil and gas B. wood

C. coal D. crop waste or animal waste

A World Health Organization estimate that over 1,500,000 people a year die from breathing smoke from solid fuels.

C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4

【3】 Which information about the Lorena mentioned in Paragraph 4is WRONG?

A. It was a popular stove which began to produce in 1970.

B. It was able to be used to bring down smoke.

C. It was good at heating houses.

D. It turned to consume more fuel later.

【4】 Stoves the Aprovecho Research Center has been designing should have the following characteristics ：__________.
