• 8．In many countries，people eat turkey as a special food on Christmas Day.This tradition is believed to have started in the UK，even though turkeys are not native（本地的） to the country.（1）It is said that the Spanish brought turkeys to Europe from America in the 16th century. When turkeys first arrived in England，they were a luxury（奢侈的） food.King Henry Ⅷ was one of the first people to eat turkey for his Christmas dinner. （2）从那以后，富人们开始在圣诞节吃火鸡。Even Charles Dickens wrote about this in his famous book A Christmas Carol.
      （3）However，turkey was so expensive that it was not available for most people.They usually ate roast（烤的） goose，which was cheaper 44.By the 1930s，turkey had become the most popular meat for Christmas Day.
      （4）并不是每个人都喜欢火鸡。A new survey showed that 60% of people thought roast potatoes were the most important food on the Christmas dinner plate.（5）Turkey came in the second place with 56% of the votes（选票）. It shows that it is still an important part of Christmas - unless you are a person who does not eat meat or fish.
