Want to say "hello" from Disneyland? Send a post card!
Beautiful scenes of paradise (乐园), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.
The idea for the first decorated (装饰) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

In the United States, every year, Thanks-giving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November. Because Canada is on the north of the United States, and is colder, the harvest comes earlier(更早) in the year. In Canada, people have Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October.
The harvest brings a lot of food to the people. On Thanksgiving Day people in Canada and America like to have a big meal with their friends and family just like Chinese people do at Mid-autumn festival. Many Canadians and Americans put flowers, vegetables and fruits around their homes to say “Thank you” for the harvest.

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too.

On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for not wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 twenty students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster There sa May erik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.

At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothing such as baggy(宽大的)trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops(紧身短背心)are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what the clothes they want to wear, but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.” “Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions(约束)”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China. 

1. Many Chinese students think that _______.  

A.American students are very free at school

B.American students are not so clever as them.

C.American students don’t like their school at all.

D.American students have many rules at school

2. 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for _______.  

A.not finishing their homework                     B.for being late for school

C.not wearing the right clothes                      D.fighting with classmates

3. Some students in Morton High School think they have the right to _______.

A.decide when to go to school                      B.choose what to wear

C.do what they want                                    D.eat and drink in class

4. What does the underlined word “supportive” mean in Chinese?

A.高兴的                   B.害怕的                  C.反对的              D.支持的
