问题详情:
On Thanksgiving Day, about 88 percent American eat turkey. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous. Every year, turkey farmers present turkeys to the US president. But instead of eating this turkey, the president gives it a “Pardon”. The turkey is flown to Florida for a thanksgiving parade (*) it lives on the farm for the rest of its life.
Turkeys come from America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America's national bird.
Turkeys that are kept on farms are large, awkward birds that can not fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at speed up to 88 kilometers per hour. They can also run at 40 kilometers per hour.
Turkeys don't have ears. They hear by using the growth of beaks(尖喙) their hearing is about five times better than human hearing.
Turkeys are such interesting birds. No wonder Benjamin Franklin wanted them to be American national birds.
