Once upon a time, two young men were spending some time in the countryside.One day,while taking a walk together,they crossed a large filed.

      “{#blank#}1{#/blank#} out!” one of the young men shouted,because a bear suddenly appeared and began to tun after them.They were very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} They run as fast as they could.But the bear kept running after them.
    Finally, one of the men climbed up a tree. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} jumped into a hole,but soon he came out of it.Immediaely the bear ran after him back into the hole.
    “Stay there!” his friend shouted, but soon he came out again,and again the bear ran after him right{#blank#}4{#/blank#} .This went on five or six more times.
     At last,the man in the tree got angry and shouted at his friend in the hole,”You fool !”Stay in the hole for a while,otherwise,this bear will keep us here all day!”
   “That's easy for you to say,”the other man said as he jumped one more time back into the hole.”But there {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to be another bear in this hole.”

    Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.

    Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} shoppers with big discounts(折扣). Some items like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may {#blank#}3{#/blank#}lose money on them. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

    Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problems. The biggest one is that there are not enough cheap items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low{#blank#}4{#/blank#} on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.

    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.
