Unit1 Festivals around the world
一阅读理解
A
Thanksgiving Day is a 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 three­day 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 Thanks­giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

B
There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries.The origins of most of the days are unknown.They were certainly not created by individual people.Other days，however，especially those celebrated in western countries often owe their origins to a particular person.One of the most popular of these，even though it is fairly recent，is Mother’s Day.Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures.The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria，during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”．The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday.However，over the years this custom was gradually forgotten，and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.
Born in 1864 in Virginia，US，Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude(感激) to their mothers for all their love and care.Encouraged by a friend，she wrote to thousands of important people—politicians，churchmen，doctors，city officials and asked them to support her idea：a special day of the year for thanking mothers.
In 1910 the Governor of Western Virginia introduced Mother’s Day in the state.The
date chosen was May 10—the second Sunday in May，which is still observed in America today.This date was chosen beca use May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died.In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.
Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.
Anna Jarvis，a sad and disillusioned(幻想破灭的) woman died in 1948.The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose.It had been taken over by business.As with Christmas，the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi­million dollar industry.
1．The passage mainly tells us________.
A．how Mother’s Day came into being B．how people celebrate Mother’s Day
C．a woman named Anna Jarvis D．President Wilson and Anna Jarvis 2．Hilaria was a festival in________.
A．Asia B．America C．Ancient Rome D．the Christian Church 3．Anna Jarvis intended to establish a festival for mothers because________.
A．her students had nothing to do
B．she wanted to know important people in this way
C．she wanted to do something for mothers
D．she wanted people to thank their mothers
4．May 10 became the date for Mother’s Day because____.
A．May 10 was the date on which Anna Jarvis’s mother died
B．it was the second Sunday in May in 1910
C．May 10 is a lucky day
D．President Wilson like the date
5．The underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 3 most probably means________.
A．watched B．followed C．ruled D．set

八.短文写作
.参考范文
My Favorite Festival
The Spring Festival is my favorite festival.I like it for the following reasons：Firstly，it is a good chance to rest after a year’s hard work.It is a great pleasure to prepare for the festival，by shopping and cleaning up.
Secondly，the family often get together during the festival.On the eve of the Spring Festival，we traditionally have a dinner and stay up all night，talking while watching the Spring Festival Gala Evening.I enjoy the harmony the Spring Festival brings.
Thirdly，the celebration of the Spring Festival highlights traditional Chinese culture.People tend to stick couplets written in gold on red paper expressing good wishes around the doorframe and set off firecrackers.They believe this can help scare off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
In a word，I like the Spring Festival and I can’t wait for the next Chinese New Year!。
