Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.

Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival.This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in.But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest.On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims (清教徒) from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia.They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.

The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel.Many of the Pilgrims died.But the next year, they had a good harvest.So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast.The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast.Everyone brought food.

In time, other colonies(殖民地)began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving.But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day.During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it.He proclaimed(宣布)the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours.But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

1.Thanksgiving Day is celebrated

A.in spring B.in summer

C.in winter D.in autumn

2.The first to celebrate thanksgiving were

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive.It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it.They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.

Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk.Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.

At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening.No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it.She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .

You either have it, or you don’t — a sense of direction, that is.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we 1ose it.

“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around, ’’ says Jim Martland, research director of the project.“However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.’’

Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions:

1.If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.

2.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return, go back along the same route.

3.Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where yon are.

Now you will never get lost again!

1.Scientists have the belief that__________.

A.some people have a sense of direction when they are born

B.a sense of direction is developed with ages

C.They have the ability to find their way around

D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

A.plant a tree beside the bike so that you can know where the bike is

B.on the map mark where the bike is
