University students are different.They come from

different parts of the country,speak various dialects,and follow their distinctive regional customs.However, a closer look at their purposes of learning at university will enable us to classify them roughly into three groups：those who learn out of instinct,those who learn for a promising

future,and those who learn with no definite purposes.Firstly, there are a handful of students who learn without fatigue simply because they like to learn.They read a great deal of British and American novels because they are keenly

interested in literature.

Others sit in front of the computer screen,working on one new program after another all day and all night because they have discovered beauty in complicated signal patterns,and dream of becoming “Bill Gates” one day.Secondly, there are job-oriented who work hard for a better career.It is arguable that the majority of university students fall into this category.After enrolling in the hottest specialty of the moment,they throw themselves into books, whether they like them or not,so as to absorb the most knowledge and to obtain all the available certificates,which may serve as a competitive edge in the cut-throat human resources market in four years’ time.

Thirdly, there is a small fraction of students who learn without an aim.They take courses, finish assignments, enjoy life on campus,but lead a directionless life.They do not know

what they are doing,nor what they are willing to do,nor what they will be doing after college.They are a group of “sleepers”.Students from all parts of the country gather in the same university.After four years, they part to continue their various lives.However, it is almost certain that those who learn out of instinct will be happy,those who learn with a determination will be professionally successful at

least,and those who learn without an aim will end up with nothing.

for the blessings they have enjoyed during the

year.Thanksgiving is usually a family day,celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions.The first American Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621.In 17th century, a group of Pilgrims left England to explore the New World.It was in September of 1620 when their ship called the “Mayflower” left port with 102 men, women, and children on board.They landed in Province town harbor after 65 days at sea.The Pilgrims were poorly trained and poorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness.During their first winter in the new land,they suffered tremendously.Poor food, hard work, infectious diseases,and bitterly cold weather killed about half of them.

By the end of this terrible first winter,only about 50 remained alive.One spring morning in 1621,an Indian walked into the little village of Plymouth and introduced himself in a friendly ter, he brought the Indian chief,
