The fourth Thursday in

November is called Thanksgiving

Day. In the United States, it is

an annual (每年的) occasion to

show thanks to God for his

goodness.

As a historical, national and

religious holiday, Thanksgiving

Day began with the English in

Plymouth Colony. As far back as

1621, after a long bitter winter

and the gathering of the first

harvest, these early settlers

shared a feast with the local

Indians and offered prayers of

thanksgiving. President

Washington proclaimed (宣布)

the first national Thanksgiving

Day to be celebrated on

November 26, 1789. President

Lincoln revived the custom in

1863.

It was not until 1941 that the

US Congress adopted a

resolution, setting the fourth

Thursday of November as an

annual Thanksgiving Day. Thus

what began as a religious

celebration of the harvest has

since become a nationwide

holiday.

Today Thanksgiving Day is

usually a family day, celebrated

with a traditional turkey dinner

and a happy reunion. Schools

are closed on Thanksgiving Day

and the day after. Many people,

including students studying in

another state, often travel long

distances to spend the holiday

at home.(15)

16). The passage is mainly

about ___________.(3)
