On Thanksgiving Day, about 88 percent of Americans will eat turkey（火鸡）. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous! Every year, turkey farmers present a turkey to the U. S. president（总统）. But instead of eating this turkey, the president gives it a "pardon". The turkey is flown to Florida for a Thanksgiving Parade (游行). Then it lives on a farm for the rest of its life.
Turkeys come from North America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America's national bird.
Turkeys living on farms are large birds that cannot fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at a speed up to 88 kilometres per hour. They can also run as fast as 40 kilometres per hour.
Turkeys don't have ears. They hear with a snood above their beaks (尖喙). But their hearing is five times better than human hearing（人类的听力）.

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy(政策) and let families have two children instead.
The plan was announced（宣布） on Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate(出生率) and strengthen the country’s labor(劳动力) force.
China, with the largest population in the world, started the one-child policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.
In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react（反应） to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. ”
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of
labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?
51．Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
52．How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?
A. They support the policy.
B. They don't think it is good.
C. They're very interested.
D. They're not interested any more.
53．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues?
A. In 2015. B. In 2035. C. In 2050. D. In 2070
54．The Two-Children Policy mainly ______.
A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages.
B. doesn’t allow one couple to have two children.
C. has a bad influence on one’s mental health.
D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.
55．More couples ______ the Two-Children Policy according to the passage.
A. disagree with B. agree with
C. don’t know D. hate
四、短文还原（5分）
A. I didn't say anything
B. I jumped into the queue.
C. Would you like black or white tea？
D. A girl asked me not to come into the shop.
E. It gave me a great feeling in the morning.
F. Can I say that you are having a white tea？
I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia. 56
When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop. Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing(排队) to order. 57 Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me. I said that I would like to have a cup of tea. The she asked me, “ 58 ” I thought she was making a morning joke with me. So I said “Red tea，please.” With a very unfriendly face, she asked me again，“Black or white tea，please？” 59 I didn't know what actually black or white tea was. I only knew that having tea is normally with or without sugar.
One day I had a cup of tea at the University tea room. I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it. Then I asked her，“ 60 ”She smiled and said，“Yes，you can.” At that moment, I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk. How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!
