Something strange happened when I was 14 years old. Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day

I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason

to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!

During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was

wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what

they’re supposed to do!”

After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth

for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal.

Then she left.

I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating

again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I

couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and

concerned looks, and the table was covered with untouched plates.

“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start

it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to

teach, play with, and see grow.

The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I

suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me,

this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.

And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.

Recently according to a new research, humans have had a link to starches ( 含淀粉的食物) for up

to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the

soil during the time of the ice Age’s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoing study into

the history of Middle Stone Age communities.

An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in the

Klasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths(壁炉)

inside the cave, the researchers found “pieces of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to

65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.

The findings do not come as a complete surprise — but rather as welcome confirmation of older

theories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had

previously only been genetic biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for

this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the

previous assumption that humans’ digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased

digestion of starch.

Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies

River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps

medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎), these cave communities were gilling

starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as

they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”

As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave.

Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, the

proper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beings have

always been searching for their desired things.

28. When did humans begin to farm starches?

A. After the Ice Age. B. After the Middle Stone Age.

C. About 20,000 years ago. D. About 100,000 years ago.

29. What was the previous assumption of starches?

A. Starch diet promoted food culture. B. Starch diet shaped humans’ evolution.

C. Starches had a variety of functions. D. Starches offered humans rich nutrition.

30. What can we learn about the early humans described by Sarah Wurz?

A. They were smart and tough. B. They preferred plants to meat.

C. They were generally very healthy. D. They got along with each other.

31. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Great Civilization of South Africa B. The Evolution of Foods in History

C. Starches--the Important Food of Today D. Big Findings--the Starches in Ancient Times

A book is so much more than mere ink and paper. So insist French booksellers, who for nearly four

decades successfully persuade the government to keep the forces of the free market at bay. A law

passed in 1981 bans the sale of any book at anything other than the price decided by its publisher.

Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sell the latest Thomas Piketty or J.K Rowling at a

discount.

The fixed-price rule is meant to keep customers loyal to their local bookshop and out of the control

of supermarkets and corporations. But the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers has promoted

questions worthy of their own tomes(大部头著作). Can you fix the price of a book if it is part of an

all-you-can-read subscription service? Are audio-books books at all? And what of authors who self-

publish?

Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”. In 2011, the rule began
