11．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．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 1863as 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．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了感恩节的由来以及在美国和加拿大庆祝感恩节的差别．

解答 29．C．细节理解题．根据第二段1，2行Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the crops are in．可知感恩节是在秋天进行的，故C正确．
30．A．细节理解题．根据第三段前4行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）．说明庆祝感恩节的是来自欧洲的清教徒，故A正确．
31．C．推理判断题．根据第三段最后2行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．这些人只是邀请印第安人过来一起庆祝．并不是印第安人也这样．故C项说法是错误的．
32．B．主旨大意题．根据第一段Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing可知本文主要讲述的是感恩节的由来以及在美国和加拿大庆祝感恩节的差别．故B正确．

19．Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but they also turn you into a workaholic （工作狂）．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times，the all-singing，all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．
Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess （坦白） they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．
Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said，"The ability to access millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many people．However，there are drawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become，the more is expected of us in a work capacity （容量）．"

26．The underlined word"drawbacks"in the last paragraph probably meansB．
A．disagreements

27．Ghadi may agree thatC．
A．employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day
B．the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthless
C．smart phones might turn a person into a workaholic
D．people cannot get away from work without smart phones
