26、Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4,1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a threeday feast (盛宴).The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed (宣布) the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.
Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
【1】Thanksgiving Day is celebrated ________.
A. in spring B. in summer
C. in autumn D. in winter

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.

27、Saying no to the right things will help you prioritize (优先处理)high-benefit activities, avoiding excessive stress, and reducing the risk of failing to meet your responsibilities. So,it's better to get into the habit of considering what invitations to say yes to and what to say no to. 【1】.
Start by asking yourself questions to measure the potential benefits: 【2】? What is the likelihood that it will create more beneficial opportunities in the future? How important is this activity to me personally? Or, will this bring me joy?
【3】 How much of my time will it really take? How much time does my schedule have available around when this activity would take place? Will saying yes mean I can't say yes to something else that's important to me? Will saying yes steal time away from my personal life?
Will this activity cost money? How much stress will the activity cause me? Finally, would I suffer bad effects if I said no?
When you're done, carefully examine the advantages and disadvantages. If your analysis suggests that the activity would result in many benefits and few costs, then that should be a top candidate for a yes response. 【4】, even if they are low-cost as well. In our experience, it's the high-benefit, high-cost activities that require the most careful consideration. 【5】, which isn't always easy - especially if your answer is no. Figuring out how to give an honest response can help avoid over commitment and time spent on low-benefit activities.
A.How much will I learn
B.Could you give this presentation
C.The next step is making a response
D.Then ask yourself questions to estimate the possible costs
E.You can achieve it by making an informal cost-benefit analysis
F.We encourage you to do three things to improve your“no”abilities
G.On the contrary, low-benefit activities might be given a straight no
28、Listening, really listening, can improve communication and build respect with others. Communication begins by listening and then suggesting that you hear what the person is saying.
This can be recognized by focus or eye contact, body language, and reflective listening.
Focus (Eye Contact)—Focus means that you are looking directly at the person speaking and not looking off to one side or continuing to do something else. You are focused on what is being said; the speaker is the center of attention. Listening attentively is essential for positive communication.
Listening Without Interrupting—Does your body acknowledge(承认) that you are listening? Use smiles, nods, and expressions of understanding to communicate to the speaker that you are listening. It is not necessary that you agree or disagree at this time. It is more important for the person speaking to know that his or her words are respected. This strengthens communication.
Reflective Listening—Reflective listening involves hearing the feelings and meanings of the speaker. It is a re-statement (in different words) of what the speaker said. You, in essence, mirror the words of the speaker and rephrase them back to the speaker, checking for accuracy(准确)of understanding. This process affirms the speaker, indicates a respect of the person, and shows that you understand the speaker’s message. Through careful reflection of the speaker’s words, you can make clear the message and build mutual(相互的) understanding. Through reflective listening and the careful exchange of words, we learn that other people have important feelings and opinions which we need to consider. Learning to understand the importance of all ideas, not just our own, can lead to successful resolution of problems and mutual respect.
【1】The best way to build respect with others is _____.
A. to look directly at the person speaking
B. to listen to the speaker attentively
C. to interrupt the speaker when necessary
D. to use expressions of understanding
【2】What strengthens communication with the person speaking?
A. Making him or her know that his or her words are respected.
B. Expressing agreement or disagreement in time when listening.
C. Repeating his or her words from time to time.
D. Listening instead of saying anything.
【3】 Reflective Listening is aimed to _____.
A. show you are not absent in mind
B. make sure the speaker’s words are correct
C. checking for accuracy of understanding
D. express your own ideas without delay
29、 A vaccine (疫苗) that protects against one of the main common cold viruses has been shown to be safe and effective in a clinical trial and could be available by 2024.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) spreads so easily that more than 90 percent of people have experienced their first infection (感染) by the age of 2. It usually causes cold-like symptoms but can lead to severe illness in young children and older people. All around the world, about 60,000 children under the age of 5 and 14,000 people over the age of 65 die each year after developing the virus.
Developing vaccines against RSV and other respiratory viruses has been difficult because the respiratory tract (呼吸道) is a surface exposed directly to the outside world, says Kirsten Spann at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
“It’s harder for antiviral antibodies (抗病毒抗体) in the blood to reach viruses in the respiratory tract, or even know they are there, because there is some physical separation,” she says.
In recent years, however, there has been rapid progress in finding new ways to improve immunity against respiratory viruses.
Several RSV vaccines are being tested in clinical trials, including one made by German company Bavarian Nordic. Its vaccine is designed to build immunity against RSV by exposing me body to five small fragments of the virus.
In a clinical trial involving 420 adults aged 55 and older, a single injection (注射) of the vaccine in the upper arm increased the levels of RSV-fighting antibodies inside the nose by three times and caused no serious side effects.
This immune response lasted for six months ---- enough to cover a winter cold season ---- and was restored with a booster shot at 12 months.
The results are promising, but more research is needed to see if the immune response is strong enough to prevent RSV infections, says Spann.
Bavarian Nordic is now planning a bigger clinical trial of its RSV vaccine that is scheduled to begin in 2021 and will involve more than 12,000 adults. If the results are positive, the company hopes to make the vaccine available by 2024. The firm plans to offer the vaccine to children too, but not until it has passed clinical trials involving people in this age range
【1】What do we know about RSV?
A.It is the deadliest cold virus.

C.It takes thousands of lives every year.
D.It mainly puts older adults’ lives at risk-
【2】Which word can best describe the development of RSV vaccines?
A.Creative. B.Dangerous.
C.Interesting. D.Challenging.
【3】What was one feature of the RSV vaccine developed by Bavarian Nordic?
A.It had no human subjects.
B.It had no serious side effects.
C.The immune response lasted for 12 months.
D.The immune response could prevent RSV infections.
【4】What does Bavarian Nordic plan to do in 2021?
A.Continue its clinical trial.
B.Offer its RSV vaccines to children.
C.Put its RSV vaccines on the market.
D.Follow the 420 adults in its early clinical trial.
