3. He wishes we        (加入他) the following week.
 Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday that Amer?icans celebrate on the fourth Thursday in November. This autumn festival is traditionally celebrated with family and friends over a big meal that takes hours to prepare.

  The meal usually includes turkey served along with dishes like sweet potatoes,green beans and pumpkin pie. The turkey is usually seasoned (调味) and roasted in an oven,but some people fry the bird in oil or cook it on a grill (烤架) or in a smoker.

  The National Turkey Federation estimates that Americans ate 46 million birds for last year's holiday. The government expects turkey production to increase two per cent this year. About two-thirds of the tur?keys raised in the United States came from six states ： Minnesota,North Carolina,Arkansas,Missouri,Vir?ginia and Indiana.

  Turkey is eaten all year,and Americans have been eating more of it over the years,though chicken,beef and pork are still more popular. Federation president Joel Brandenberger says 2012 will not be as profitable for turkey farmers as the last two years were. Feed costs are up while turkey prices are about the same.

  In 1939,as the Great Depression was ending,President Franklin Roosevelt established the holiday on the fourth Thursday. He did not want to shorten the Christmas holiday shopping season in years when No?vember has a fifth Thursday.

  The season traditionally begins with a busy shop?ping day on the Friday after Thanksgiving,although some stores are now opening on the holiday itself.

  One of the America's founders,Ben Franklin,thought the turkey would better represent the country as its official bird than the bald eagle. But Joel Bran?denberger disagrees.

  "I think we're better off having the bald eagle on our coins and the Thanksgiving turkey on our dinner table.”
