When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in my mind. How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at.

But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word Turkey has meant the land of the Turks since ancient times. In the mid-1500s, the word turkey was first used to refer to the bird in the English language. The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl(珍珠鸡). It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought the bird as a Turkish chicken. When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl，which. at that time, was called the “turkey cock，so they gave it the same name. Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird turkey, even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird. The Turkish call turkey “hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The reference(涉及)to India probably conies from the old. wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. The French call it dinde, a name that also connects the bird to India. Dinde means from India in the French language. Turkey has similar names in several other languages. 28. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. The word turkey appeared in modern times. B.Turkeys English name is based on correct identity. C. Americans like eating turkey in Thanksgiving holiday. D. Both Turkey and turkey have similar meanings in English. 29. Where did the guinea fowl come from? A. Europe. B. Africa. C. America. D. Asia. 30. What does it in the last paragraph refer to?A. Eastern Asia. B. The French language. C. The New World. D. The bird turkey. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. How did Thanksgiving turkey get its name? B. How did Americans spend their Thanksgiving holiday? C. Why was the guinea fowl so popular with Americans? D. Why was the guinea fowl different from American turkeys?DChrysanthemums (菊花) are to the fall what tulips are to the spring. In ancient China chrysanthemums (or mums for short) were first planted thousands of years ago. People chose the chrysanthemum as their Flower for October a symbol of the rest and easethat followed the seasons final harvest. Then they symbolized a scholar in retirement (隐居) and wereone of the four noble(高贵的) plants along with bamboo, the plum flower(梅) and orchid(兰). The Japanese hold the chrysanthemum as a symbol of the sun. They consider the orderly unfolding of its petals(花瓣) to be a symbol of perfection. They also think that a single chrysanthemum petal placed in thebottom of a wine glass encourages a long and healthy life. The Japanese even have a NationalChrysanthemum Day on September 9 known as the Festival of Happiness. In the United States during colonial times its popularity grew such that mums now reign as Queen of the Fall Flowers. Mums remain the most widely grown pot plant in the country and the largestcommercially produced flowers. Chrysanthemums generally represent cheerfulness and rest. So they are welcomed throughout the British Isles and North America for any occasion such as football games andparties. In other countries such as Italy Belgium and Austria however their association with the deadmakes chrysanthemums acceptable only for funerals and graves.32.
