On December 4,1619，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 their special 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.

The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582, in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25th. The celebration reached the highest point on April 1st. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX，the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历) was introduced, and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1st.However, because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today, many people did not receive the news for several years. Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st.These backward people were considered “fools” by other people. They were often sent on “fools” errands(徒劳无益的工作) or were made the targets of jokes.This developed, over time, into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It wasla ter introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France. April Fools’ Day thus developed into an international fun feast, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.9．According to an earlier calendar, New Year’s Day in France was ________.A．March 25th B．January 1stC．April 1st D．April 3rd10．Which of the following first had the tradition of celebrating the April Fools’ Day？A．France.
