There are many people I want to thank in my life, especially my mother. My mother gave me precious life and worked hard to raise me. It's not easy. This afternoon, my mother took me home from school and hurried to cook. Looking at my mother's hard work, I wanted to help her do something, so I finished my meal quickly today and took the dishes and chopsticks in my mother's hand. My mother was surprised and asked me, "what do you want?" I said, "help my mother wash the dishes and chopsticks." then I took the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes carefully, My mother ran to the kitchen with a smile and said, "my good daughter is really sensible." I said happily, "thank you, mom. This is what I should do." This is what I do for my mother on Thanksgiving. My mother is very happy and I am very happy. Wish all parents in the world health! Happy!2.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ The fourth Thursday in November is Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day, I made an envelope that said: a gift from Wang Xiyuan to my mother. There is also a small note inside, which reads: Mom, you are my tree repairer. I am like a small tree. You take scissors to cut off the bad branches for me, so that I can grow faster. Thank you, mom. My mother took me in her arms and said, "Jiajia is so sensible!" I was so happy. I also gave my father a paper plane. It said: a gift from Wang Xiyuan to my father. There is also an envelope in the seam of the paper plane, and there is also a note in it. It says: Happy Thanksgiving, Dad. Dad surprised "um" and said: "my Jiajia has grown up!". I walked into the study with a smile and wanted to play two children's songs for my parents, namely "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Golden Peacock gently jump". The sweet sound of the piano. The laughter of the whole family echoed in the real room. Students, how do you spend Thanksgiving? Let's talk about it!3.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ Today's English class, the teacher asked the parents to come into the class. It turned out that today is Thanksgiving. We are going to hold a small activity in the class. At the beginning of the activity, the teacher first let us know the origin of Thanksgiving, and then let us read a poem "the lamp of love" with our parents. After reading the poem, the teacher asked seven students and seven students to come up and draw the turkey with watercolor strokes, and the parents should also come up. After drawing the turkey, the teacher sent note paper to the students and parents and asked them to write gratitude messages on the paper. After writing, they exchanged note paper, that is, the students held the parents' gratitude messages in their hands, and the parents held the students' gratitude messages in their hands. Then the teacher asked the students to paste the notes of themselves and their parents next to the turkey just drawn. In this way, the English class is over. Today's English class is really interesting.4.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ Today is Thanksgiving. I want to thank many people! Such as parents, teachers. First of all, I want to thank my parents, because they love me and love me. Moreover, without them, I would not be in this beautiful world. Again, I would also like to thank all teachers, because they teach me a lot of knowledge, such as classification, text and arithmetic. I would also like to thank the farmers' uncles and aunts, because they worked very hard to grow food for us. Without them, we would starve to death. There are too many people I want to thank, such as the police and the uncle who delivers water. There are too many people to count. Therefore, I want to study hard and be a useful person. When I grow up, I also want to help many people. 5.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ "Grateful heart, thank you for being with me all my life and giving me the courage to be myself..." eh, it's already in class. Why did the song "grateful heart" and bursts of laughter come from class 4 (Class 4)? Oh, it turns out that today is Thanksgiving. Class 4 (4) is holding activities about Thanksgiving! At first, the mothers of several students in the class sent us materials. There are so many materials. Cotton thread with strong elasticity, colorful ribbons and all kinds of "Diamonds" are really dazzling and dizzying. Start making hairpins. First, according to the teacher's appearance, I stuck the gold edge and dark purple wide ribbon into a circle with double-sided tape, and then clicked it. Then, flatten the big circle and fold it into three. Then wrap it with white cotton thread and the big bow will be done. I used the method just now to make the lavender thin ribbon. But this time it wasn't as smooth as before - I had trouble folding. My previous steps were very good. However, when it comes to folding, it can't be folded well. When I fold it, the soft ribbon becomes like a spring. It pops out as soon as I fold it. I can't fold it at all. So I wanted to ask the teacher to help me fold. But I thought again: This is a Thanksgiving gift I want to give to my mother. I want to make it myself and give it to my mother. How can I shrink back for a little difficulty? I must overcome it. I looked at the thin ribbon and the wide ribbon, and suddenly felt enlightened. It turns out that this ribbon is thin. I fold it too wide, so it's hard to fold it! I just need to fold it a little thinner. I said I would do it. I picked up the ribbon and folded it. This method is very useful. After a while, this little bow will be done. I took another piece of cotton thread and tied the small bow to the big bow, so that the bow part was done. I held this bow in my palm and looked left and right. I just felt something missing and something was wrong. Unexpectedly, teacher Wen was ready and said, "good students, come here and stick diamonds!" I listened and hurried to line up. It was my turn. I saw Xu Wutong's mother holding a glue gun and nodding in the middle of my bow. Then she took out a shiny "diamond" and stuck it on it. Let me hold it first. I quickly picked it up, held it tightly and waited quietly. After a while, I felt it had been stuck, so I released my hand and took a look. Ah, this "diamond" is so beautiful. The "big pearl" in the middle is especially shining, just like the moon. The "small diamonds" around are like small stars around the moon. It is both shining and beautiful. Finally, I put a metal clip on the bow. In this way, the hairpin I gave my mother was completed. I looked at the hairpin as if my mother had received the gift I gave her and was looking at me with approval. After school, as soon as I got home, I handed my mother the hairpin I made by myself and said, "Mom, today is Thanksgiving. This is my gift to you." my always serious mother smiled happily. He said to me, "it's really beautiful. It's even more beautiful than what I bought." after listening to it, my heart is sweeter than honey. I really thank my class for organizing such activities. Let me express my gratitude to my mother. My mother gave me life and brought me to this beautiful world. I will not only give my mother the hairpin I made myself, but also do more for my mother. I really hope there will be such a meaningful activity next time.6.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ Early on Thursday morning, I saw some students send greeting cards to their teachers, so I knew that November 24 is a traditional American holiday - Thanksgiving. Because I didn't know in advance, I didn't prepare gifts for my teachers and parents. I'm very sorry. The teacher told us in class that let's go home and be grateful to our parents. First of all, I want to thank my teacher. It was your hard education that made me grow from an ignorant child to a reasonable pupil. Like spring silkworms and candles, you have dedicated your life and achieved thousands of us. I understand that your greatest wish is to see us "peaches and plums all over the world". Although I still have many shortcomings and shortcomings, I will always remember the teacher's teachings and be a good student with excellent character and learning. Also, I want to thank my parents. It is their great love for me that makes me grow up happily. I remember the homework assigned to us by the teacher, so after I finished my homework in the evening, while my mother was busy hanging clothes, I quietly brought a bowl of milk to my mother and said affectionately, "Mom, happy Thanksgiving!" my mother was stunned and couldn't say a word. You know, usually my mother heats up good milk for me and puts it in front of me for me to drink. She takes care of me. Today, I suddenly brought milk to my mother. My mother never thought of it. After being stunned for a long time, my mother hugged me and said, "thank you! Good son! You have grown up!" I saw tears in my mother's eyes, and my heart was both happy and regretful. Happily, I love my family very much. What I regret is that I always take it for granted that my parents love me, but I rarely do anything for them. I secretly determined in my heart that I must help my mother do something in the future and show my gratitude with my own practical actions. Although Thanksgiving is an American holiday, I think every Chinese should love life, family, friends and nature with gratitude.7.关于感恩节的英语作⽂ November 26 is Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving is an ancient festival created by Americans, that is, the festival of American family reunion. Therefore, Americans always feel kind when they mention Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the most authentic and American national holiday in the United States. It is most closely related to early American history. Although we are Chinese, we should also have a heart of gratitude at all times, thank our parents for giving us life, thank our teachers for cultivating our growth, thank my friends for giving me happiness, thank nature for giving me life resources, and thank everything T h e a f t e r n o o n b e f o r e T h a n k s g i v i n g , I s a w a f l o w e r s e l l e r a t t h e s c h o o l g a t e .

用英文介绍一个节日【关于节日的英文文章阅读】关于节日的英文文章阅读关于节日的英文文章阅读关于节日的英文文章阅读篇一美国传统节日感恩节Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday of November. The month of November comes in autumn, the main season for harvesting crops. Thanksgiving is an autumn harvest festival like those found in many cultures. Today the holiday is a time of family reunions, parades and watching football games on television. And, oh, yes, food! For millions of Americans, Thanksgiving is a day spent cooking, eating and spending time together. The writer O. Henry called Thanksgiving the one holiday that is purely American. It is not a religious holiday. But it does have a spiritual meaning. Some Americans travel long distances to be with their families. They eat a large dinner, which is the main part of the celebration. For many people, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of a family gather together. The holiday is a time of family and family reunions. The government says the Sunday after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for long-distance travel. This is when people usually return from gatherings. Thanksgiving is all about family and food But let“s get back to the food. The star of the Thanksgiving meal is the turkey! This large bird roasts in the oven all morning. The smell of celery, onion and herbs fill the house and makes everyone hungry. Two traditional side dishes are mashed potatoes and sweet potato casseroles. And there is another -- stuffing -- a bread-and-vegetable mixture that is literally stuffed into the turkey and then baked. While people cookthe Thanksgiving meal and talk with family members and friends, others might be watching American football games on television. Two American traditions, Thanksgiving Day parade and football Over the years, Americans have added this tradition to theirThanksgiving celebrations. A number of football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Another tradition is the television broadcast of Macy“s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade takes place every year in New York City. Employees of the Macy"s store on Herald Square organized the first parade in 1924. Many of the workers were immigrants and wanted to hold a big parade like the ones in Old World Europe. So they dressed in special costumes and borrowed some animals from the zoo. They also carried small balloons that floated just overhead. And then sometime in the afternoon, the dinner table is set. It is time for what everyone has been waiting for. Dinner is served! Some families have more than one dinner table at Thanksgiving. Children may eat together at their own table. Usually, the people who are invited to dinner belong to the same family. But anyone can bring a friend. In fact, many Americans live far away from family members. So, getting together at Thanksgiving is not always possible. Many people in this situation have a dinner party and invite their friends who are also without family for the holidays. Serving those less fortunate It is important to remember that the United States is home to many poor and homeless people. They cannot buy a Thanksgiving dinner or spend the holiday with friends and family. All across the country, religious and service organizations provide holiday meals for older adults, the homeless and the poor. Whether you are eating with family and friends or serving meals to the homeless, Thanksgiving is atime to give thanks. Before the meal begins, it is traditional for everyone to say a few words about what they are most thankful for. 关于节日的英文文章阅读篇二美国的节日和假日。

48.Thanksgiving Day is a very important traditional holiday in America. On the fourth Thursday of each November, families and friends gather together for the occasion to celebrate with a traditional turkey dinner,usually in the mid-afternoon. Thanksgiving Day originated as a celebration of theyear's harvest and is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.This American tradition started in 1621 before the United States of Americawas established. It was a huge celebration for a hard-earned harvest in the firstyear after the first group of immigrants arriving in the New World.On September 6,1620,the Mayflower ship set sail from Plymouth, Devon, England, taking all the English Pilgrims to the New World. The English Pilgrims numbered about a hundred people, and left England to escape religious persecution.The Pilgrims sailed sixty-six days, arrived in the New World in November of the same year. They first settled in a cornfield abandoned by Native Indians and named it Plymouth Plantation.They worked on the land with much difficulty and were beset by a devastating plague in which half of the Pilgrim died in the long winter of 1620. In the spring of 1621, an Indian brave named Squanto and her Wampanoag tribe came to their help. The tribe taught the Pilgrims how to work the earth and plant corn, beans, pumpkins, squash and other crops.In late September 1621, the Pilgrims were pleased with their great harvest. To celebrate their first harvest, the Pilgrims wanted to thank God and the Native Indian. They invited Squanto and the entire Wampanoag tribe to celebrate together in a shared feast.The first Thanksgiving dinner is said to have lasted from three days to one week. It was indeed a time of happiness, fellowship and rejoicing for the Pilgrims. They arranged a friendly treaty with the Native American Indians, built houses in the wilderness, and raised sufficient crops to feed themselves for the upcoming long winter. The Pilgrims had become the first generation of settlers in this new land holding so much promise.From then on, Thanksgiving became a holiday for celebrating the harvest in the New World, and dates varied from October to November each year over the next 150 years.The first National Thanksgiving was declared by the Continental Congress in 1777. On October 3,1789, President George Washington declared that the people of the United States should observe (celebrate) “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” on Thursday,26 November. In 1941,a Congressional Joint Resolution set the fourth Thursday of November as a national holiday for Thanksgiving.

【专题训练】感恩节4篇英语阅读理解专练附答案

【专题训练】感恩节4篇英语阅读理解专练附答案感恩节阅读理解一、阅读理解（共27小题；共54.0分）BEvery American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no difference. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I'm sorry to say that the men in the family—my dad, my younger brother and myself—rarely pitch into help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 p.m. every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling(流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it's not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren't wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling(咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights—visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 p.m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warmbed to sleep in.5. The purpose of the text is to .A tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day.B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving DayC. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Dayintroduce the American Thanksgiving DayD.6.

The author's family is not rich, but it's a loving one.DThanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December..CThanksgiving 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, 1620, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They went down on their knees 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 theirspecial feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other places of the continent 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 announced 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.

It's 25 days before Christmas. It's after Thanksgiving and often the first day of Christmas shopping. At this time, we see ads in newspapers and on TV telling us to "buy, buy, buy!".The idea of Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs and paint pictures. This year, in Manchester, England, people dressed up to tell people that we buy too much.In Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day.

Many people go out for a picnic with friends before Chinese NewYearDThe first Thanksgiving Day was born a hundred years ago.FMillions of Americans, this Thursday, will join family and friends to give thanks and eat a meal with a history that is centuries old.Early European settlers in North America held other ceremonies where they gave thanks. But what Americans often consider the first Thanksgiving took place in Plymouth Colony. Today we call it Massachusetts. Those settlers are known as the pilgrims. They held a three-day celebration in the fall of 1621. They celebrated the harvest with members of a local Indian tribe.The best known food that Americans traditionally eat on Thanksgiving is turkey. Thanksgiving turkeys are traditionally served with a bread mixture that some Americans call stuffing. Side dishes include sweet potatoes and green beans or other vegetables. The meal traditionally ends with a dessert of pumpkin pie or pecan pie.Some Thanksgiving foods have changed over time. For example, most turkeys these days are bred with larger breasts to provide more white meat. Corn has also changed. It tastes much sweeter than the corn of the past.The way Americans prepare for Thanksgiving has also changed. Economist John Anderson of the American Farm Bureau Federation says people look for ways to save time. "There are a lot of us who have grandmothers who would not even think of using a store-bought pie crust(酥皮). And that is kind of the least of the shortcuts that we use." He says shortcuts like buying prepared foods for the holiday are part of a bigger trend in America. Charity groups and religious organizations will also be busy this Thursday, serving Thanksgiving meals to the needy. The weak economy has increased the number of Americans receiving government assistance to buy food.23.

Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned(赦免)the bird on Thanksgiving eve.The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the WhiteHouse website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress（议会）ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of D isney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.5. That the turkey Courage was pardoned was decided by ________.A. George BushB. CongressC. President TrumanD. the public6. The first Thanksgiving Day was held to ________.A. celebrate the harvest of British settlersB. celebrate the progress of AmericansC. encourage the struggle with British settlersD. celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter7. We can infer(推断)from the passage that ________.A. President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisisB. the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before ThanksgivingC. the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eveD. the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving Day3When Mrs. Klein told her first graders to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful, shethought how little these children, who lived in a terrible neighborhood, actually had to be thankful for. Since it was Thanksgiving Day, she knew that most of the class would draw pictures of turkeys (火鸡) or of Thanksgiving tables with lots of food.What made Mrs. Klein surprised was Douglas’s picture. Douglas was so shy and likely to be found away from the others as they went outsi de for games. Douglas’s drawing was simply this:A hand, clearly, but whose hand? The class was attracted by his picture. “I think it must be the hand of his mum or dad that brings us food,” said one student.“A farmer,” said another, “because they grow the turkeys.”“It looks more like a policeman, and they protect us.” “I think,” said Lavinia, who was always so serious, “that it is supposed to be all the hands that help us, but Douglas could only draw one of them.”Mrs. Klein was very happy to see that th e class showed so much interest in Douglas’ picture. When she had the others at work on another project, she went over to him and asked whose hand it was.Douglas answered in a very low voice, “It’s yours, Teacher.”Then Mrs. Klein remembered that she had taken Douglas by the hand from time to time; she often did that with the children. But that it should have meant so much to Douglas …Perhaps, she thought, this was her Thanksgiving, and everybody’s Thanksgiving—not the material things we receive, but the small ways that we give something to others.8. When did the story happen?A. On Thanksgiving Day.B. On Teacher’s Day.C. After Thanksgiving Day.D. Before Christmas Eve.9. Douglas drew a picture of hand.A. his mum’sB. a farmer’sC. his teacher’sD. a policeman’s10. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Thanksgiving Day is popular.B. Being a good teacher is important.C. Painting is necessary in our life.D. Giving is more meaningful than receiving.4Thanksgiving was just around the corner. The menu had been set. The shopping list was made. Everything seemed perfect. I could taste turkey and mashed potatoes（火鸡和土豆泥）. Pictures of different pies, fruit and vegetables came into my mind. I couldn't wait！The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being thankful. "We are going to help out at a homeless shelter（收容所）on Thanksgiving Day.” I couldn't believe this was happening. So we wouldn't cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. The holiday wouldn't be the same. I thought the day would be ruined.The next morning. we got up early. I followed my father to the shelter with my sleepy eyes. I had no great expectations and felt down all the way. As soon as we arrived, we got to work. There was so much to be done. But all I could think about was the dinner I couldn't enjoy.However, those thoughts soon disappeared. Over the next few hours, I watched hundreds of people come through the shelter. For some, this was the only hot meal they would eat that week. For others, it was the first time to eat a Thanksgiving meal. The shelter was filled with joy.Through this experience, I learned that Thanksgiving is a time to think about your blessings（祝福）and look for ways to bless others. When I gave up what I had wanted, I discovered how much I have. It is much better to give than to receive. In the end, that Thanksgiving became an unforgettable experience.11. Why did the writer's father decide to go to the homeless shelter on Thanksgiving Day?A. Because he found they didn't have enough food this year.B. Because he wanted to let the family learn to be thankful.C. Because he was a volunteer of that homeless shelter.12. What does the underlined word "ruined" probably mean in Chinese?A. 美好的B. 破灭的C. 悲痛的13. How did the writer feel before working in the shelter?A. Sleepy and unhappy.B. Quiet and peaceful.C. Excited and cheerful.14. What can we infer from the story?A. The writer had always thought about helping others before.B. The people in the shelter always had cold and terrible food.C. The writer might go to the homeless shelter every year from then on.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Helping others is helping yourself.B. Being thankful for life and finding ways to bless others.C. Remembering to show our love to the people we love.5Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a festival of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.In 1620, a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow any crops, and without fresh food, half thecolonistsdied from disease. The following spring Indians taught then how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.In the autumn of 1621, many crops of corn, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists and much to be thankful for, so a festival was planned. They invited the local Indian chief and 90 Indians. The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists. To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had even brought popcorn. In following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the autumn harvest with a festival of thanks.Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, a different date every year. The Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion(重聚)at the house of an older relative. All give thanks together for the good things that they have.16. When did the American Thanksgiving holiday begin?A. Two hundred years agoB. Four hundred years agoC. Three hundred years agoD.

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November.D. With fresh food, half the colonists died from disease.6It was the turkey that made it the worst Thanksgiving ever... well, it nearly did. All the family-my grandparents, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my cousin, my sister and I-expected the turkey. However, turkey is not the easiest thing to cook. It takes a lot of time to prepare and a lot of work to cook... and there are a lot of chances for things to go wrong.My mum and dad bought a nice, big turkey a few days before Thanksgiving. My mum was proud of herself as she got it for a good price. The night before Thanksgiving, Mum got the turkey out of the fridge. Early the next morning, my sister and I helped her put some butter and salt on the turkey, and then Mum put it in the oven. It looked like it would be delicious. My sister and I were excited.But soon, we noticed something was wrong. The oven was not heating up. Dad checked it closely. Then he said in a low voice, “It’s broken!” Mum’s heart nearly stopped. She didn’t want her dinner to be a failure. We didn’t know what to do. How were we going to feed everyone without the turkey? Mum looked worried.Finally, Dad had an idea, and we all agreed with his suggestion to order pizza instead. After all, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and spending time with your family. If we did not have turkey, it was different but there was nothing awful about it.That evening, we shared a delicious pizza. We had a great time, talking, eating and playing games. Thanksgiving without turkey can still be fun!21. The underlined word “failure” in the passage means ______.A. 成功的事B. 开心的事C. 失败的事D. 悲伤的事22. What’s the correct order of the following events?a.

2019年10月自考真题一、阅读判断Black FridayEveryone likes to shop for gifts for the holiday season, but few people know the history of holiday shopping. While people have heard of Black Friday, most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节). On this day most retail stores open their doors very early. Some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday.Black Friday is not as old as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season. In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday. It was so named because the stores were “in the black”. This financial term means the stores made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores.Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online. So if you don’t want to get to the stores by 4 am, this is the perfect way to still get items at reduced prices.1.Many people know the history of Black Friday.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：原文第一段“While people have heard of Black Friday, most do not know its origins.“意为当人们听到黑色星期五时，很多人不知道它的起源。

A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving. It is always on the fourth Thursday in November，and is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.
