I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园),looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie,and how I used to make it with her. She died last year,before the apple harvest,and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about,visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me,big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week,and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?”I stand up,take his hand,and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples,and bees,and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough,brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know,Sophie,”he says,“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼),and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe (烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone,but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us,we can work it out. Want to try?”
“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“That’s true,”he says,“but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still,I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes,and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen,making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

     On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the  festival of Thanksgiving. This
festival is a time when the family come together for a meal and give thanks to God for the blessings
they have received. The first Thanksgiving festival was celebrated by the early American settlers who
gave thanks to God for their good harvest.
       In America Thanksgiving is a family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family make a special
effort to get together. The feast (节日 ) is always on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday
from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
     The Thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey, which was the food for the first Thanksgiving. The table
is filled with fruits, walnuts (胡桃)  and many kinds of vegetables. For dessert (甜点) the main choice is
usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be
talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
     On Thanksgiving morning there are sporting events and parades (游行)  in many cities to mark the
day.  The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4 o'clock. The mother will prepare the
meal and the father will carve (切) the turkey. He will preside (主持)  at the head of the table. The meal
will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will
also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone
present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is over, some will help with the dishes and others
will return to the living room to talk or watch television.
       In many ways the festival of Thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese festival of Mid-Autumn Day.  It is
a time for the family to get together for dinner.    
1. Why does the writer say Thanksgiving is a family holiday in America?          
A. It is a holiday for those who have a family.
B. People try to get back to be with their family on this holiday wherever they are.
