From gobbling(狼吞虎咽） down turkey to spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popular-pulling the wishbone—dates back centuries.

The upside-down VT shaped bone is actually called the furcula. It is a bone located between a turkey’s neck and its breast Furcula means “l(fā)ittle fork” in Latin. All birds have a wishbone.

At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish，and then tug(用力拉). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winner's wish will come true.

The practice of making a wish on a bird’s furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的) creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pick it up, stroke it for good luck， and make a wish — That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone.”

The Etruscans passed the ritua (儀式）along to the Romans. Soon, the practice of making a wish on a chicken's furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend，it was so widespread that there weren't enough chickens or wishbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes.

Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World there, they found an abundance of wild turkeys. So they started using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.

Cuba's former leader, Fidel Castro，died at the age of 90，according to a November 25 announcement on Cuban state television. The death marks the passing of a controversial figure who made a major impact on international affairs during his long rule.

The Cuban government declared nine days of official mourning. On Monday, thousands of Cubans lined up near Havana’s Plaza of the Revolution to pay their final respects to their leader. On Wednesday，Castro’s ashes will begin a three-day journey across Cuba to Santa Ifigenia cemetery in Santiago de Cuba.

Castro was born into a middle-class family on August 13 1926. He spent his childhood alongside the laborers on his father’s plantation (種植園）. In 1945, Castro entered the University of Havana as a law student. He later joined groups that sought to end dictatorships in Latin-American countries.

On July 26. 1953，Castro staged an unsuccessful revolt(叛亂) against Batista’s government. He and his brother Raul were captured and imprisoned for two years. After they were freed, the brothers went into exile in Mexico, On November 25, 1956，Castro set out once again to overthrow Batista. His revolution grew in strength. On New Year s Day 1959, Batista fled from Cuba. Castro took absolute power on January 8.

The U.S. viewed Castro's relationship with the Soviet Union as a threat. In 1961，President John F. Kennedy approved the invasion of Cuba by 1,500 Cuban exiles. They landed on April 17 at the Bay of Pigs, but with little U. S. military support. Cuban troops smashed the attack within a few days.

In October 1962，Castro confronted Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis， during which he allowed the Soviet Union to place nuclear-capable missiles in Cuba. By that time, the U. S. had cut all relations with Cuba.

After the Soviet Union collapsed(崩潰）in 1991，Cuba lost its economic support. To fuel the economy, the Cuban government allowed outside investment in hotels and resorts, but that created inequality. Meanwhile, Castro continued to crack down on any opposition. After undergoing intestinal surgery in 2006，Castro handed Cuba's presidency to Raul. The transition of power became official in 2008.

Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots(暴亂) and hunger make news, but the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.

The authors take a vast number of data pointing for the four most important crops； rice, wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that on between 24 and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.

There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world's most populous(人口多的) countries，India and China.

Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.

Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods’ accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.

The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organization has argued. Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed (耕）up for crops might be able to revert to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.

1.Which crops are mentioned in the text?

A. Rice，corn，soybeans and wheat.

B. Rice，corn, wheat and peas.

C. Wheat，corn，soybean and potatoes.

D. Corn，wheat, tomatoes and soybeans.

2.What does the author try to draw attention to?

A. Food riots and hunger in the world.

B. The decline of the grain yield growth.

C. News headlines in the leading media*

D. The food supply in populous countries.

3.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?

A. Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.

B. Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.

C. Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.

D. Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.

4.What does the underlined word “revert” mean in the last paragraph?

A. grow worse

B. put in the place of another

C. gain through experience

D. go back to a previous state
