4.This year,many schoolchildren across the United States have taken part in local and state spelling competitions.The young competitors could spell words that even some adults may never have heard of.
More than 280 local winners earned the right to compete in this year's National Spelling Final,which took place from May 28 to June 3 near Washington,D.C.,at the National Harbor in Maryland.Most competitors in the National Spelling Final were between the ages of 12 and 14.But one competitor was less than half that age-five-year-old Edith Fuller.She won an area spelling competition in her home state of Oklahoma.The five-hour competition lasted 37 rounds.Edith correctly spelled words
like sevruga(一种俄罗斯鱼子酱),jacamar (a kind of bird);and Nisei (a child of Japanese immigrants).Jnana,a Sanskrit(梵语)word made the youngest person qualify(获得资格)for the National Spelling Final.
When she was just four,Edith surprised her parents when she was able to spell the word"restaurant."At that moment,her mom and dad realized their child might be something special there.Edith is homeschooled,so her parents are able to spend a little more time teaching her to spell.

3.On Thanksgiving,Scott Macaulay is preparing a full turkey dinner for a whole bunch of people he's never met.His 70 or so guests-elderly people,low-income people,at-risk teens,and others-have one detail I in common:(16)C.
"What I do isn't a big deal,really,"the 52-year-old said."I just cook some food."
Macaulay's unconventional Thanksgiving tradition began in 1985,right around the time his parents decided to get divorced.The holidays got messy that year,and Macaulay,who was 24 at the time.sensed he'd be spending Thanksgiving alone.(17)A.
"Thanksgiving isn't about fireworks or band concerts,"he said."(18)BIt's not fun to do that by yourself."
Macaulay placed an ad in his local paper with a simple message:If people thought they might be alone on Thanksgiving,they could give Macaulay a call.
(19)DIt was nice.So he placed another ad the following year,and the year after that.
In recent years,Macaulay has been hosting his Thanksgiving dinners at local churches with lots of space.He still buys and prepares all the food himself and spends about 40hours putting the whole affair together.(20)EHe said it's important to him that he not seek out volunteers or donations because"that's not what this is about."
Macaulay said he'd love to see other people hold similar dinners all over the country.
"I think someone in every town should do this,"he said,"so nobody has to be alone."

A.It was a terrible feeling.
B.It's a celebration around a table with food.
C.Without Macaulay,they'd be alone on Thanksgiving.
D.A few people showed up at Macaulay's place that first year.
E.On Thanksgiving Day,he runs around nonstop from about 5a.m.to 8p.m.
F.I don't like the thought of cooking a thanksgiving meal for only one person.
G.He likes it that most of the people he feeds each Thanksgiving don't know his name.
