【题目】The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U.S.A. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion(团聚). Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.

In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest(收获). They were so pleased. They decided to invite their Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help.
