5．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 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（盛宴）．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．

20．The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing．Since 2009，a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world--Little Free Library．The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw （取出） and deposit （存入） books．Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes．Some libraries also have themes，focusing on books for children，adults，or tour guides．
In 2009，Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother，who was a devoted reader．When he saw the people of his community gathering around it，exchanging conversation as well as books，he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further．"I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other，"Bol said．
Since then，his idea has become a movement，spreading from state to state and country to country．According to Little FreeLibrary．org，there are now 18，000 of the little structures around the world，located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe，Africa and Asia．
The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries．But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads．The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human．For many people，the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries'main appeal．"A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading； a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life，"says the Atlantic article．"Every book is a potential source of inspiration"．

17．If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery （芹菜），a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods，a UK study said．
    Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables，the idea is actually controversial，researchers wrote in the American，Journal of Clinical Nutrition．That's because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked，said Jane Wardle，a researcher at University College London who worked on the study．Verbal praise，such as"Brilliant!You're a great vegetable taster"，did not work as well．
"We would recommend that parents consider using small non-food rewards，given daily for tasting tiny pieces of the food 一 smaller than half a little finger nail，"Wardle said in an email．
    The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a"tiny taste"of a disliked vegetable，it gradually changed their attitudes．The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables一 either carrots，celery，cucumber，red pepper，cabbage or sugar snap peas 一 in laboratory taste tests，the study said．
   Researchers randomly assigned 173 families to one of these groups．In one，parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable．A second group of parents used verbal praise．The third group，where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods，served as a"control"（控制组；对照组）．
    Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the"target"vegetable every day for 12 days．Soon after，children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables 一 and were willing to eat more in the research lab，going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience．The turnaround also seemed to last，with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later．
    Why didn't the verbal praise work？Wardle said-the parents'words may have seemed"insincere"to their children．

20．My parents were in a huge argument，and I was really upset about it．I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling．So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house．Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents'situation，I was looking forward to getting out of the house．I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood．Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on．
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about．But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark．I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored．He was quite happy and said，"Great opportunity．"

"But we can't do anything about it．Grandpa，"I said，surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same"boat"as I was．
And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started．Sitting in the dark，we talked about our feelings and fears of life-from how fast things change，to how they sometimes don't change fast enough．That night，because the power went out，I found a new friend，with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains，whatever they may be．Suddenly，the lights all came back on．"Well，"he said，"I guess that means you'll want to go now．I really like our talk．I hope the power will go out every few nights!"
