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.

    Will Johnson has worked his way up the list of most popular stars in his country. In fact, it is not surprising that Will is so successful if we know about his early life. Some valuable lessons he learnt as a child have strongly influenced him {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his later life. One of them was from his father {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  was strict with him and his brother.

    Once, Will and his brother Harry {#blank#}3{#/blank#} given a job to rebuild a broken brick (砖) wall in the yard. The wall was fifty feet{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and around sixteen feet high. The boys had to mix concrete (水泥) and place only one brick at a time. They didn't know why their father gave them {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a huge job.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , with the attitude (态度) of "one brick more", both Will and Harry rebuilt the wall in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} period of six months. Each time they were about to give up, their father {#blank#}8{#/blank#}them up patiently. Both brothers were so sad about the job at {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , but after completing the task, they felt a sense of pride, and so did their father. Even today when Will thinks that he won't be able to do something, he will look back to his experience and keep telling {#blank#}10{#/blank#}"one brick at a time".

—Sure. It's a great TV program {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (that/who) brings the habit of reading back into the public.
