From Alaska to Argentina
It was the summer of 2021. Lian Garner had just finished high school. He was looking for an “adventure.” The boy had some experience with long-distance(距离) biking. His longest ride was from Los Angeles to San Francisco. That was 750 kilometers — about the distance between Shanghai and Qingdao. Garner made short videos of the trip and shared them online. Some of these videos were quite popular.
Garner wanted to bike an even longer distance. One day, he had a crazy idea: How about biking from the northernmost point in the United States all the way to the southernmost point in South America
Preparations for the trip took about a month. Then, on August 1, 2021, Garner left Prudhoe Bay in Alaska for Ushuaia, Argentina. He wasn’t too worried about going the wrong way. “As long as I was going south, I knew I was right,” he said.
Garner had many problems on the trip. In all, he was robbed(抢劫) five times. He got sick more than once. On some days, it was so hot that biking was almost impossible. But Garner didn’t give up. Finally, on January 10, 2023 — 527 days after he had started — he arrived at the end of his journey.
Garner is now on his way home. When he gets home, he wants to write a book about his travel stories. He hopes his ride will encourage others to start an adventure. “Anyone can do something amazing,” he said, “The hardest part is having the confidence in yourself.”
8. What does the word “adventure” mean in this passage
A. Something amazing and sometimes dangerous.
B. Something different and difficult with the help of others.
C. Something that usually can’t be done.
9. Before Lian Garner rode from Alaska to Argentina, he had once ridden from _______.
A. Argentina to Los Angeles
B. Los Angeles to San Francisco
C. Shanghai to Qingdao
10. How long did it take Garner to prepare for his ride from Alaska to Argentina
A. About one month. B. About one year. C. About 530 days.
11. What is Garner doing now

In many countries, people eat turkey as a special food on Christmas Day. This tradition is believed to have started in the UK, even though turkeys are not native(本地的) to the country. 41. It is said that the Spanish brought turkeys to Europe from America in the 16th century. When turkeys first arrived in England, they were a luxury(奢侈的) food. King Henry VIII was one of the first people to eat turkey for his Christmas dinner. 42. 从那以后，富人们开始在圣诞节吃火鸡。Even Charles Dickens wrote about this in his famous book A Christmas Carol.
43. However, turkey was so expensive that it was not available for most people. They usually ate roast(烤的) goose, which was cheaper. By the 1930s, turkey had become the most popular meat for Christmas Day.
