    On Thanksgiving Day, about 88 percent Americans will eat turkey. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous! Every year, turkey farmers present a turkey to the US president. 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 America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America's national bird.

    Turkeys that are kept on farms are large, awkward birds that can not fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at speeds up to 88 kilometers per hour. They can also run at 40 kilometers per hour.

    Turkeys don't have ears. They hear by using a growth above their beaks(尖喙). But their hearing is five times better than human hearing.

Being home to the largest second-hand bookstore in the world, Hay-on-Wye is more than just a small town in Wales — it's a book heaven on the earth.

The history of Hay-on-Wye as the"town of books" began on the April Fool's Day of 1977.A man called Richard Booth jokingly called himself King of Hay and said the town was now a country! Since then, he has succeeded in building a healthy tourism industry about books. Today thousands of visitors come to Hay-on-Wye every year to look for whatever books they need.

Before Booth's great idea, Hay-on-Wye was a slowly dying town having less than 2, 000businesses. The king of Hay-on-Wye opened his first bookstore in 1961, and later encouraged his friends in the trade to come to Hay. After a few. years, he filled almost every building with books. Hay-on-Wye now has over thirty bookshops, many selling second-hand books, which has made the town pleasant for book collectors.

Hay-on-Wye has its special honour with over one million books sold here every year. Unlike other book dealers(交易商), Richard Booth doesn't centre on any one topic. He buys any type of books believing that every book is valuable and someone in the world wants it. Book lovers from all over the world come to Hay-on-Wye because a large number of books here are at low prices.

Since 1988, Hay-on-Wye has also been the place for a famous literary(文学) festival, now supported by The Guardian, which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to see and hear big literary names from all over the world.

Once a dying small town, Hay-on-Wye is now a pleasant tourist town, with ten percent of its population working in the book business, and local businesses benefiting(得益于) from the waves of

tourists coming here in search of books.

Respecting teachers has always been a tradition in China. Once there was a man who wanted to learn from a famous philosopher(哲学家). One day, he and his schoolmates had different opinions on a question. To get a 1 answer, he went to visit the philosopher. In front of the door of the philosopher's house, 2 , the guarding kid told him that the philosopher was meditating(冥想) in his room and asked the man to go back. He 3 to leave, so the little boy left him alone and went in.

After a while, it began to snow 4 . The little boy came out again and reminded the man that the philosopher might spend the whole afternoon meditating. He invited the man to 5 himself in the house to avoid the wind and snow. But the man kept standing in the snow and waiting outside in order that he could ask the philosopher's 6 on the question.

As soon as the philosopher finished meditating, the boy reported that the man was waiting outside. When 7 this, the philosopher came out to see the man. When the door was opened, everyone was 8 . The snow was more than a foot deep, but the man stood still. 9 moving his feet." Young man, why are you so silly? You could have come again someday!" The philosopher took the man to the room at once.

" As a student … if I want to learn from the teacher... I should ... of course ... respectfully wait outside..." said the man, shaking with cold.

The philosopher was very happy and accepted the man as his student because of his politeness and effort to learn. He taught the man all his philosophical thoughts. That made a big 10 to the man's life. Later, the man really learned a lot and made great contributions(贡献) to his country.
