You couldn’t have Thanksgiving without it.For me, however, the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven brings other special feelings. My father was in the army, so I moved house often as a child. I had no hometown. Before I could go to school or make friends in one town, I’d be settling in another.There were s o few things around me to give a feeling of home. When you’re young, you don’t know the difference –you think moving is normal. It’s only later when you learn that most people have a hometown they can return to and friends they’ve always known, but you do n’t. Pumpkin pie was the one thing that was always there and that's why it’s special to me.Another reason I like it is because I was born on Halloween, October 31. Every time my birthday came around, we made a giant pumpkin lantern. And why give a kid a cake when there was all that pumpkin to use in a pie? My mom put on her apron, and before long,pumpkin pie was the centerpiece of the party.Now, I can’t help but feel good about life whenever I eat pumpkin pie. To me, pumpkin pie is home.34.

His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours.Every afternoon the man by the window would describe to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The other man loved these moments. It was only then that he could “see” the outside world.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Couples walked arm in arm. Big old trees dotted the landscape. The beautiful city skyline could be seen in the distance.However, one morning the nurse discovered that the man next to the window had died. Soon the body was taken away. After an hour, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. Slowly, the man helped himself up to take his first look at the world outside.To his surprise, it faced a blank (空白的) wall. The man asked the nurse why the other man would lie. The nurse told him that the man was blind. S he said: “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”Today will never come again. Be a friend.

A white lie(善意的谎言)DIn autumn, geese head south for the winter, flying in a “V” formation (队形). Science has discovered that as each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it makes thebird behi nd it uplift. By flying in a “V” formation, the wholegroup adds at least 71 percent greater flying array (范围) than ifeach bird flew on its own.People who share a common direction and sense ofcommunity can get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are traveling with the help of one another.When a goose falls out of formation, it won’t try to go it alone but will quickly get back into formation.If we have the sense of a goose, we can stay in formation with people who are heading in the same direction as we are.When the head goose gets tired, it goes back in the wing and another goose flies to the point.It is sensible to take turns to lead, whether with people or with geese flying south.Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot, two other geese fall down with that goose. They follow it down for protection and to lend help. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies.If we have the sense of a goose, we can stand by each other like that.42. Why do geese fly in a “V” formation when they go to the south for winter?A. Because they are afraid to be lonely.B. Because they are family members.C. Because they can fly more quickly and easily.D.
