（2023·山东省潍坊市诸城市、安丘市、高密市高一下期中联考）Growing up in Georgia， Thanksgiving for me meant driving a couple hours to my mom’s house in Augusta on Wednesday night and staying up late playing. The next morning， at around 4 am or 5 am， my mom would put the turkey in the oven and roast it low and slow for eight hours， applying oil to it every 30 minutes and watching it like a hawk. For this practice， for years I thought turkey was the hardest thing to cook in the world.
I also thought that turkey was， on principle， meant to be dry. The thing is， roasting the great and 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 °F refrigerator. Bring your turkey to the room temperature. Truss（扎紧翅膀和腿） your turkey， which will ensure even cooking. Season your turkey in the sink. This is very important. Most people season their turkey straight in theroasting pan， leading to extra salt at the bottom. Another issue is that if you’re applying melted（融化的） butter and some of the drips to the pan， the butterfat can burn， and the one thing we don’t want on Thanksgiving Day is that the smoke alarm goes off. Roast your turkey.
Many recipes（食谱） call for starting on a high setting and finishing on a low setting. But I like to roast my turkey from start to finish at a moderate 350 °F. Rest your turkey. Do not carve the turkey until it’s left 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.

（2023·山东省济南市高一下期中统考）My mother and father took very little interest in special days like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day， saying “You don’t need to show your appreciation on Mother’s Day. Just do it every day of the year.”.
Their approach has led me to be a parent in much the same way. Yes， I have been a special day hater， believing the only winners were the soap sellers， gift voucher（代金券） printers and candle makers.
But I’ve recently discovered there’s another less widely-seen business that quietly benefits from the existence of special days—childcare centers.
The preschoolers at my daughter’s childcare center had been tasked with making Mother’s Day gifts by crafting（精心制作） likenesses of their moms out of old toilet accessories（附件）.
I received a toilet roll that looked like my face. Though it was not perfect， I knew finishing this task would be impossible for even the most skilled sculptor（雕刻家）.
After admiring the special toilet roll， I realized how specially special days are connected with the childcare curriculum（课程）.
Childcare centers need special days. They’re how they mark the passing of time—the important events kids look forward to.
Neighbour Day， World Turtle Day， World Thinking Day， Crazy Hair Day ...They’re just some of the important days on childcare centers’ calendars， feeding their ever-burning appetite for something to celebrate.
Childcare educators are patient， inspiring and caring heroes who can always find ways to make the same four walls fun. I’d suggest inventing a “Childcare Educators’ Day”， but no surprise， when I searched online， I found there is already one. It’s on the first Wednesday in September. Put it in the diary； let’s celebrate！
（ C ）1. Why did the author hate celebrating special days？
A. She thought many things were not worth celebrating.
B. She thought love and respect should be shown more secretly.
C. She thought it was more of a business than a way to show love.
D. She thought it would change how people lived their everyday life.
C
（ D ）2. What led the author to rethink the meaning of special days？
A. The way her daughter talked to her.
B. What her daughter said about making gifts.
C. How her daughter spent her days at the childcare center.
D. The task her daughter finished at the childcare center.
