Spending one of the most important American holidays away from home is hard enough，let alone if you’re spending it in another country with a different culture．However，if you’re(1ucky enough)to be spending Thanksgiving in London this year，you won’t be short of places，events and activities to celebrate this annual holiday．Here are some of the best things to do this Thanksgiving in London．

Eat a traditional Thanksgiving meal

The Big Easy is a no-brainer when it comes to All-American food，so we're booking a table and making a beeline for it this Thanksgiving．The popular restaurant chain with branches across the city is offering a range of options from pit-smoked turkey to candied sweet potatoes and cornbread，as well as good old fashioned cheese for the kids．

Cheer for your favourite football team

Nothing screams American sports like a bar showing NFL, so if you need your football fix this Thanksgiving，the Hippodrome Casino in crowded Leicester Square is just the place．From 5：30 pm until 1：30 am it will be broadcasting the Eagles vs Lions at Detroit，followed by the Panthers vs Cowboys at Dallas，taking you through to the early hours with Bears vs Packers at Green Bay．It’s guaranteed to be a busy one，so head down early to get a spot．What’s more，it's free，so that means more beer money!

Give a little thanks this Thanksgiving

If you want to give back to the community this Thanksgiving，there are multiple activities across the city you can get involved in to help those less fortunate than you．Soup kitchens are a great way to help，supporting those who aren’t enjoying turkey like you．The Soup Kitchen at the American International Church is always looking for volunteers，especially during the colder months．Get in touch to see how you cart help and give thanks．

We all know that life without emojis would be extremely boring．Therefore，it is only fitting that the editors of the well-known oxford English Dictionary chose
—the face with the tears of joy as its‘Word of the Year’for2015．

The company that announced its unusual word choice on November 16th said that it was picked over several other traditional choices．Among them were‘refugee’，‘sharing economy’and‘on fleek’．However，it was this simple emoji that resonated(共鸣)with the editors because it appeared to best describe the spirits，mood，and concerns of 2015．

They also thought that this was a good year to pay honor to the emoji. For though they have been around since the late 1990’s，the use of the digital signs and the word that describes them，has increased sharply this year．Besides，emojis are now used by people of all ages，not just teenagers．

Also，though the word comes from the Japanese language—e(picture)，moji(character or letter)，the digital signs can be understood by everyone regardless of the language they speak．Therefore it only makes sense to acknowledge their importance to global communication．

As to how they selected
from the thousands of emojis that are available，the company says that they partnered with a leading mobile technology company SwifiKey to determine the most popular emoji．It turns out that‘tears of joy’is the most used icon．According to SwiffKey，
made up 17％of all emojis used in the U．S．A and a surprising 20％in the United Kingdom!

Though this is the first time the Oxford University Press has selected an image for its‘word of the year’．it is not the first time they have tried to combine modem lingo(术语)into their 150-year-old publication．In 2013，in recognition of the growing popularity of self-portraits，the editors selected‘selfie，’for the‘Word of the Year’！

24．Why does the author say the word choice is“unusual”?

A．Because it is not actually a word．

B．Because it cannot be pronounced．

C．Because there was no new word．

D．Because it appeared in the late 1990’S．

25．The Oxford Dictionary picked the emoji because______.

A．it focused on the development of the language.

B．it reflected the happiness of the English Language．

C．it was simple compared with words and expressions

D．it best agreed with the standard of the“word'’choice

26．We can know from Paragraph 4 that_____．

A．the emoji is frequently used among teenagers

B．people are encouraged to use emojis instead of words.

C．Japanese borrow the emoji from the English language

D．emojis can cross language barriers in communication

27．How did the Oxford Dictionary select this particular emoji?

A．By voting online．

B．By doing experiments．

C．By working with SwittKey．

D．By interviewing speakers．

C

Nick Vujicic was born in Melbourne，Australia on December4th，1982．As is often the case，a new-born baby will bring happiness and joy to the whole family．However， Nick was born without arms and legs，which made his father disgusting at first and his mother dared to hold him four months later．

Understandably，his parents had strong concern and fears of what kind of life he'd be able to lead．Nevertheless，his parents didn’t abandon him．On the contrary，they expected him to live a normal life as common people．When he was only l8 months old，his father began to put him in the water, encouraging and teaching him to swim．The law in Australia didn’t allow him to be admitted into a main-stream school because of his physical disability．But his mother fought for the law to be changed．He was one of the first disabled students in the main-stream schoo1．

He liked going to school，and just tried to live life like everyone else, but it was in his early years of school where he encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected and bullied because of his physical difference．Afterwards，when he reflected on the tough experience，he said it's the hard time that taught him independence．

Apart from grasping the basic skills，such as brushing teeth，surfing and playing golf, he surprisingly achieved the accounting and financial planning double-bachelor degrees! He has a passion for reaching out to youth and he has developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today’s teenagers．He has been to 35 countries and regions to make speeches so far．

For his braveness and perseverance(毅力)，he was awarded“Young Australian of the Year”，which is a great honor in Australia, recognizing a young person for their excellence and service to their local community and the nation，as well as their own personal accompli
