From gobbling(狼吞虎咽）down turey to spending time with family to watching football,

Thansgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popular-pulling the

wishbone—dates bac centuries.

The upside-down VT*shaped bone is actUaLy called the furcula. It is a bone located between a turey s nec and its breast Furcula means “little for” in Latin. All birds have a wishbone.

At Thansgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, mae 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 maing a wish on a bird’s furcula dates bac to the ancient Et ruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的）creatures. After illing a chicen, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pic it up, stroe it for good luc，and mae a wish- That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone, ”

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

Then the English piced up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World There, they found an abundance of wild tureys.

Some of the world s most significant problems never hit headlines. One eample comes from agriculture. Food riots(暴乱）and hunger mae news, but the trend lying behind these matters is rarely taled 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 loos at where，and how far, this decline is occurring.

The authors tae a vast number of data pointing for the four most important crops；rice，wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that on between 24and 39% of all harvested areas，the improvement in yields that too 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 marets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taen for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.

Second，yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in com 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 Organiation has argued Instead，it says，thans 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.

32. Which crops are mentioned in the tet?

A. Rice，corn，soybeans and wheat.

B. Rice，corn, wheat and peas.

C. Wheat，corn，soybean and potatoes.

D. Corn，wheat, tomatoes and soybeans.

33. What does tlie 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.

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

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

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 taen for granted.

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

A. grow worse

B. put in the place of another
