32、s going to attract any notice. As I went to the office in the morning, a group of men stood outside, watching me with interest, and I heard one or two of them say“Thats him！” I was naturally pleased.After a while, an old gentleman entered my office and asked me, “Are you the new editor？”I said I was

33、.“Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before？”“No，” I said. “This is my first try.”“Id like to read you this: Turnips (大头菜) should never be pulled; it injures them. It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.”“Now, what do you think of that？”“I think it is good. Every year

34、millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled. If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree.”“Shake your grandmother! Turnips dont grow on trees！”“Oh, they dont?

35、d went out.Pretty soon after this, the editor came in, looking sad and confused.He said, “What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of nature?

40、d the author for his humorous language. DHe asked the author to improve his agricultural knowledge.答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据农业报编辑在最后一段一一指出作者的荒唐之处(牛换毛的季节、给蛤蜊奏乐就可以使它规规矩矩待着不动)并认为作者对农业一窍不通可知，他对作者非常不满。CThe American Thanksgiving holiday is on Thursday.

42、al beliefs. Conflict can even find its way into the kitchen, where all the cooking takes place.

45、e fewer calories (卡路里). For example, they could bake some foods instead of frying them in oil.But other people are looking forward to the holiday.
