B
  When a 20-pound turkey emerged from the kitchen at a weekend dress rehearsal(排演)for Thanksgiving dinner, about two cozen Chinese immigrants pulled out their digital cameras and took pictures.
  “Wah!” exclaimed several.
  “It’s cooked so well,” said Wilson Goh. “Under the light, it’s very pretty.”
  Sponsored(赞助)by the Chinese American Etiquette Association, the event addressed the typical American holiday’s  traditions, which often baffle new immigrants.
  “The great thing is that immigrants come and adopt these holidays and traditions and also change them,” said Noah Pickus , a professor of ethics and public policy at Duke University who studies American identity. “That is part of how they become American, and it gives new energy to us.”
  Jane Leu, director of Upwardly Global, a San Francisco organization that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers, sees special relevance for immigrants in Thanksgiving.
  “Most don’t know that it is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America and living to tell the tale.” Leu said. “My sense is that you have to be in the U.S. for a long time before you feel that getting up at 7 a.m. on a day off to put in the turkey and bake up some pies has any meaning.”
  Many immigrants do adopt the holiday after they arrive in the United States, but in their own ways.
Cherie M. Querol Moreno, 52, of Daly City, will serve lumpia (spring rolls) and coconut and pineapple fruit salad this Thanksgiving to honor her native Philippines. And she’ll serve succotash and corn to represent the contributions of Native Americans. Moreno says she used to serve turkey, but there’s always too much. She will instead serve chicken this year.
“The spirit of the holiday lives in each wave of settlers that arrives and enriches this country with their culture and traditions,” said Moreno, who immigrated in 1980. “I didn’t want to imitate the first Thanksgiving; I wanted to make the occasion meaningful to us.”

60. The Chinese American Etiquette Association is most probably an organization which______.
A. helps new immigrants from China to get to know about American culture and customs

C. helps Chinese immigrant professionals rebuild their careers

A. the two dozen Chinese immigrants took pictures excitedly
B. people usually get up late on a day off 
C. immigrants don’t like to adopt American holidays and traditions
D. for many immigrants, Thanksgiving is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America

62. The underlined word “baffle” can be best replaced by ________.
A. surprise         B. satisfy        C. frighten       D. puzzle

63. From the text, we know that Moreno is among those immigrants who ________.
A. don’t like t serve turkey at Thanksgiving dinner
B. are celebrating Thanksgiving to get through the first year in America
C. adopt American holidays and traditions and also change them
D. want to honor only their native Philippines by serving their favorite food
