In almost every big college in the USA, foothall is a favorite sport．American football is not like soccer(英式足球)．Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it．They try to take it to the other end of the field．They have four times to move the ball ten yards．They can carry it or throw it．If they move it to the other end of the field, they receive six points．This is called a touchdown．
It is difficult to move the ball．Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball．If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to other team．
Each university wants its team to win．Thousands of people come to watch．They all shouted for their favorite team．Young men and women called cheer-leaders come to help the people yell more．
Each team plays ten or eleven games．Each season begins in September and ends in November．If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends．The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of the New Year．Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV．

The fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day．Usually family members and friends get together for a dinner．People sometimes drive a long way for a family get-together．Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday．
Thanksgiving Day began in 1621．When the first English settlers(移民者)reached the New World, they did not have enough food．The American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm．After the harvest, they invited the Indians to a great party to thank them for their help．
