Thanksgiving Day is a 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 crops 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 somthing about it. He claimed 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 neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

A. in spring
B. in summer

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000
languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers. Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
29. Many scholars are making efforts to _____.
A. promote global languages
B. rescue the disappearing languages
C. search for language communities
D. set up languages research organizations.
30. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Having first records of the languages
B. Writing books on language searching
C. Telling stories about language users
D. Linking with the native speakers
31. What is Turin’s book based on?
A. The cultural statics in India.
B. The documents available at Yale.
C. His language research in Britain.
D. His personal experience in Nepal.
32. Which of the following best describe Turin’s Work?
A. Write sell and donate.
B. Record, repeat and reward.
C. Collect,protect and reconnect.
D. Design, experiment and report.

Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future. I see th e city of the future in three zones(区域)---inner(内部), middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private(私人的) cars. Public
transport(交通) will be free and there will only be ambulances(急救车), fire engines, taxis and police
cars. This inner zone will be the residential(住宅的) and recreational(娱乐的) area of the city. People
will live there and go out to enjoy- themselves to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and
open spaces,
trees and lakes, schools and universities. This way, when people are
at home, they can go
out easily and safely. Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars.
The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the mi ddle zone. These are things that
people don’t need every day.
All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work,
and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be clea ner and better to live in and there willbe more space for industry
on the outside.
This is my ideal city of the future--- a very beautiful place! B ut I don‟t really think things will
ever be like that!

Take different classes to discover new areas of interests. You might surprise yourself.

Dear Sir of Madam,
Recently I have noticed the admission information of your university on the Internet. I’m writing to apply for management among all the majors offered to us.
For one thing, I do well in English and it will be easy for me to complete the courses in your university. For another, I have been a monitor during my school years, which has promoted my organizing ability. I have organized a few school activities successfully. I’m determined to be a manager as my dream job. Therefore, I intend to join the Students’ Union and take part in some meaningful social activities to learn some advanced management experience if I’m admitted into your university.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours
