However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift in
20、to a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones.

In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devo
21、ted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless savings”, businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the d
22、oor of shopping centers.

27、. UnconcernedCFar from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod. For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some
28、 secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a
29、temperature of -1.88 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture. The scientists next research job was cl

35、and national security policy, such as finding “a right end” to the Iraq war, expanding health insurance, pursuing greater energy independence and strengthening Social Security and Medicare, which satisfies many American people.

37、I can say I know how Republicans think, how they operate, and how to beat them.”If successful, she would be the first female nominee of a major American political party, and the first wife of a former president to seek a return to the White House. President Bill Clinton left office in 2000 after two
38、 terms marked by economic expansion and a series of official examination of his personal life and the Clintons business dealings.
