unit 5 meeting your ancestors using language课时作业.阅读理解(2018黑龙江海林朝鲜中学测试)black friday is the friday following thanksgiving day in the united states.it has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season.although its not an official holiday，millions of employers give their employees the day off，and many people use that day to get a jumpstart on their holiday shopping.a similar day in canada and great britain is called “boxing day”.black friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years.since 2005，it has been the busiest shopping day of the year.to lure shoppers，retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a.m.and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early.some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities.that is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.but why black friday? historians believe the name started in philadelphia in the mid1960s.bus drivers and police used “black friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.businesses，however，didnt like the negative tone associated with the “black friday” name.in the early 1980s，a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate.according to this alternative explanation，black friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year.in accounting terms(会计行业)，operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts.positive amounts were usually shown in black ink.thus，being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.recently，for those who are too busy to shop on black friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds，the monday following black friday has become known as cyber monday

2002，an australian man went to his friends 21st birthday party.he got drunk，fell off some steps and cut his lip.he took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online.“and sorry about the focus，” he wrote，“it was a selfie(自拍).” that was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”，according to some experts at oxford dictionaries.“selfie” was declared word of the year for 2013 by oxford dictionaries.in recent years，the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone，placing the subject centrestage，has won great popularity with everyone from britains queen elizabeth to the former us president barack obama joining in.but the rise of selfie photography in some of the worlds most beautiful，and dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risktaking behaviour，such as hanging from a tall building，standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street.people who get addicted will never stop taking selfies，completely ignoring where they are.as a matter of fact，there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies.several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety，warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies.“walt disney world is also banning selfie sticks from its theme parks because selfie sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests，”disney world spokeswoman kim prunty said.under the new policy，guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks entrances.they will make a choice of turning in their selfie sticks for pickup later or going back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep. 答案精析.语篇解读在感恩节后的第二天是黑色星期五，在美国这是一个忙碌的购物日。许多人在这天是放假的。1.c细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，在黑色星期五美国人通常忙着购物。故选c。2.b词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，零售商们经常在凌晨4点开门，为早到的顾客提供特殊的折扣和促销，这是为了吸引顾客。故选b。3.d推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“.black friday is the day
