 Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
 Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the feet that they had survived.
 Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potathes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.
 On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters.
 Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the nerd day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
 A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world’s largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometrer of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth’s core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface.
 The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
 The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 43: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.........
A. undrinkable	B. untouched	C. undiscovered	D. unexploitable
Question 44: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Rays of light	B. Tiny bubbles	C. Tiny organisms	D. Pieces of dust
Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if......
A. radio waves were not used	B. there were no lake underneath
C. the lake were not so big	D. Antarctica were not so cold
Question 46: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that......
A. made use of radio waves	B. could not determine the lake’s exact size
C. was controlled by a satellite	D. was conducted by air
Question 47: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. easily broken	B. lukewarm	C. extremely cold	D. quite harsh
Question 48: What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.	B. It is heated by the sun.
C. It is completely frozen.	D. It is saltwater lake.
Question 49: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it.........
A. may contain uncontaminated microbes	B. has already been contaminated
C. can be studied using radio waves	D. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light
Question 50: The purpose of the passage is to.........
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered	B. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok
C. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica	D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography
