【題目】Thanksgiving is one of the biggest American holidays. And at the center of Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey. You may wonder why the word "turkey" ______ both a country and a bird that Americans eat for Thanksgiving dinner. Many think the bird comes from the of Turkey. But turkey is not from Turkey. In fact, the fact that the turkey bird is called by that name is one big mistake. We could say it is a case of identity.

First of all, "Turkey" has meant the "land of the Turks" since _____ times. The word turkey, _______ to the bird, first appeared in the English language around 1540. And the misunderstanding ______ the word turkey happened because of birds that look _________.

There is an African bird called the guinea fowl. This _____ bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English mistakenly called the male bird the "turkey cock" and called the bird the "turkey hen." It became to eat the bird for Christmas dinner.

When the moved to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl, which at that time was called the "turkey cock" and _____ gave it the same name. So we now call this North American bird turkey even though it has no at all with the country Turkey.

And there is another piece to the puzzle. The case of mistaken identity crosses land and language____.The Turkish, for their part, call the North American bird "hindi," the Turkish name for India. The reference to India probably comes from the old, wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. Sometimes, that is _____ language changes over time by mistakes.

Another interesting fact about the turkey is that it became the national bird of the United States. Some people thought it should be the of the U.S.Founding father Benjamin Franklin did not think the eagle was a ______ icon for the new country.

【題目】Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013, and the US is just 16th. A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada. The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come.

People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a “quality-of-life” index(指數(shù))where it is best to be born next year.

One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total, the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography(人口學(xué))social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.

Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly, the largest European economies - Germany, France and Britain — do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.

【1According to the passage, the happiest people live in .

A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria

【2The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include .

A. the Economist Intelligence Unit is a company

B. the Economist attempted to measure the best place to live

C. the Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list

D. half of the top 10 countries are from the euro-zone

【4The purpose of the text is to show people .

A. the best place to be born in 2013

B. a new study made by the EIU

C. the worst country to be born in 2013

D. the factors of measuring the best place to be born

【題目】Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. And I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.

I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane (車道) when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes (車閘), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch (英寸) from the back of the other car.

I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. I couldn’t believe it!

And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call: “The Law of the Garbage Truck (垃圾車).” He said: But then here’s what really blew me away. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said: “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!

“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and

full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (傾倒) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.“So one day when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”

So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said: “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.
