16、ing(狼吞虎咽）down turkey to spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popularpulling the wishbonedates back centuries. The upside-down V-shaped bone is actually called the furcula(叉骨). It is a bone located between a turkeys neck and its b
17、reast. Furcula means “little fork” in Latin. All birds have a wishbone. At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish，and then tug(用力拉). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winners wish will come true.
18、 The practice of making a wish on a birds furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的）creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pic
19、k it up, stroke it for good luck，and make a wish. That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone.”The Etruscans passed the ritual (仪式）along to the Romans. Soon，the practice of making a wish on a chickens furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend，it was so widespread that there were
20、nt enough chickens or wishbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes. Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World. There, they found an abundance of wild t
21、urkeys. So they started using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Turkey Tug-of-War B. A Lucky TurkeyC. The New World D. The Stories of Thanksgiving25. What does the
22、fourth paragraph focus on?A. How to dry the wishbone.B. The origin of this bone-pulling traditionC. The place where the ancient Etruscans lived.D. The practice of the ancient Etruscans making a wish on a turkeys furcula.26. Why did the Romans break the wishbone in two?A. To save money. B. To protect
23、 chickens.C. To create an I-shaped wishbone. D. To give more people the chances to make wishes27. Where was a turkey tug-of-war probably served as a Thanksgiving tradition first?A. In America. B. In the UK.C. In ancient Rome. D. In northern Italy.CThe Enigma（谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans ce
24、nturies and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time
25、 and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? Its difficult to describe it clea
26、rly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent
27、more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while wo
28、men prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traitsthe full lips, clear skin, strong shouldersequal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by
29、all sorts of expectationsmostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women w
30、orldwide? Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to desc
31、ribe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.28Peoples
