Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Growing up in Georgia,Thanksgiving for me meant driving a couple hours south to my mom's house in Augusta on Wednesday night and staying up late playing.First thing the next morning,at around 4 or 5 a.m., my mom would put the bird in the oven and roast it low and slow for eight hours,applying oil to it every 30 minutes and watching it like hawks.For this practice,for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in the world.
I also thought that turkey was,on principle,meant to be dry.The thing is,roasting a great,juicy turkey isn't as complicated (复杂的) as people make it out to be.For me,I've found that the best method is to just roast it like a chicken.No black magic.
Defrost your turkey (if it's frozen).Ideally you'd let this happen gradually in a 40 refrigerator.Bring your turkey to room temperature.A fridgecold bird will not cook as evenly as a roomtemperature bird.Truss (捆紧) your turkey,which will ensure even cooking.Season your turkey in the sink.This is very important.Most people season their turkeys straight in its roasting pan,leading to extra salt at the bottom.Another issue is that if you're applying melted (融化的) butter and some of that drips off into the pan,the milk fats can burn,and the one thing we don't want on Thanksgiving Day is for the smoke alarm to go off.Roast your turkey.Many recipes (食谱) call for a high start and a low finish.But I like to roast my turkey from start to finish at a moderate 350.Rest your turkey.Do not carve the bird until it's rested for at least 30 minutes.Don't worry,it'll still be hot—better yet,the juices will have spread all over and you'll be looking at the tenderest,juiciest turkey of your life.

The Torch Festival (火把节) is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China,such as the Yi,Bai,Hani,Lisu,and Lahu,etc.It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June,with three days of celebrations.The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors (祖先).For some ethnic groups,it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
During the festival,big torches are made to stand in all villages,with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls,the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time,people walk around the fields and houses,holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages,young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan,torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings.When the strings are broken after the torches are lit,people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan,the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades.Big torches are carried by teams of people,which is like a fire dragon.If different teams meet,it's a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
