Thanksgiving Day in the United States started as a way of giving thanks to a good harvest. Every year, Thanksgiving Day is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on the fourth Thursday in November. When Thanksgiving comes, most

Americans will eat turkey that day. But each year, one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} turkey not only will not be eaten, but also will become famous. Every year, turkey farmers give a turkey to the USA president. But instead of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. This turkey, the president gives it a "pardon". The turkey is flown to Florida {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a Thanksgiving parade ( 游行). Then it lives on a farm. Turkeys play a (n) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} part in Thanksgiving and have been a part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin {#blank#}6{#/blank#} wanted the turkey to be America's national bird.

    Turkeys on farms are large birds that cannot fly,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at {#blank#}8{#/blank#} up to 88 kilometers an hour and run as fast as 40 kilometers an hour.

    Turkeys don't have ears like ours, but {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hearing is five times better than human's hearing.

    Turkeys are interesting birds. So Franklin {#blank#}10{#/blank#} them to be America's national bird! It's not surprising for people.
