  The Internet company Google is testing its newest high-tech device,Google Glass. The company describes the glasses as wearable computers that would change the way people view others and the world.

  The glasses have a tiny video screen and a camera that connect wirelessly to the Internet through Wi-Fi,a smart phone,or a table computer. You can make and receive calls,send and receive texts,take pictures,record videos or search the Web. You control Google Glass using your voice,and a touch pad on the right arm of the frame.

Professor Marcia Dawkins is among a selected group of people who have been given a chance to test out Google Glass.

  The Professor's Google Glass looks like a bright orange glasses,without the actual glass. But there's a tiny rectangular glass at the top right-hand cor?ner. Through that glass,she has been recording videos while biking. She al?so has been able to talk to her sister inThailand, and she plans to use the de?vice to teach a public speaking class. But not everyone is excited about Google Glass. Some are concerned about possible risks to privacy. John Simpson is the director of the privacy project at Consumer Watchdog.

"It is essentially going to allow people to come in and spy on you and record that,without you knowing what is going on."

  Google says that it has already addressed that concern. Chris Dale,who is the Senior Manager of Communications for Google Glass,explained that in order to start the camera or record a video,the owner must say something out loud.

But film-maker Chris Barrett showed just how easy it is to record people without them knowing it. His glass captured a man getting arrested after a fight. He shared the video on YouTube.

  Also,some are concerned about the use of facial recognition technology on Google Glass. But Google says it will not approve the use of such applica?tions. The Internet company says it is still testing its new device,and it hopes to make Google Glass available to the public by early next year.

 Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday that Amer?icans celebrate on the fourth Thursday in November. This autumn festival is traditionally celebrated with family and friends over a big meal that takes hours to prepare.

  The meal usually includes turkey served along with dishes like sweet potatoes,green beans and pumpkin pie. The turkey is usually seasoned (調(diào)味) and roasted in an oven,but some people fry the bird in oil or cook it on a grill (烤架) or in a smoker.

  The National Turkey Federation estimates that Americans ate 46 million birds for last year's holiday. The government expects turkey production to increase two per cent this year. About two-thirds of the tur?keys raised in the United States came from six states ： Minnesota,North Carolina,Arkansas,Missouri,Vir?ginia and Indiana.

  Turkey is eaten all year,and Americans have been eating more of it over the years,though chicken,beef and pork are still more popular. Federation president Joel Brandenberger says 2012 will not be as profitable for turkey farmers as the last two years were. Feed costs are up while turkey prices are about the same.

  In 1939,as the Great Depression was ending,President Franklin Roosevelt established the holiday on the fourth Thursday. He did not want to shorten the Christmas holiday shopping season in years when No?vember has a fifth Thursday.

  The season traditionally begins with a busy shop?ping day on the Friday after Thanksgiving,although some stores are now opening on the holiday itself.

  One of the America's founders,Ben Franklin,thought the turkey would better represent the country as its official bird than the bald eagle. But Joel Bran?denberger disagrees.

  "I think we're better off having the bald eagle on our coins and the Thanksgiving turkey on our dinner table.”

2. The underlined word "profitable" in the fourth par- agraph probably means "        ”.

   A. Americans don't like eating pork

   B. Americans prefer to eat the turkey fried in oil

   C. the turkey is only eaten on Thanksgiving Day

   D. most of the turkeys raised in America came from six states

4. Why did Franklin establish Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday?

   A. There is a fifth Thursday sometimes in Novem?ber.

   B. He didn't want to shorten the Christmas holi?day shopping time.

   C. He thought the fourth Thursday in November was a good day.

   D. The Great Depression was over on the fourth Thursday in November.

   A. We can see the bald eagle on the American coins.

   B. The bald eagle is the American official bird now.

   C. Ben Franklin established the American official bird was the turkey.

   D. Joel Brandenberger wanted the turkey to be still on the dinner table.
