festival is a time when the family come together for a meal and give thanks to God for the blessings
they have received. The first Thanksgiving festival was celebrated by the early American settlers who
gave thanks to God for their good harvest.
In America Thanksgiving is a family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family make a special
effort to get together. The feast (节日 ) is always on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday
from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
The Thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey, which was the food for the first Thanksgiving. The table
is filled with fruits, walnuts (胡桃) and many kinds of vegetables. For dessert (甜点) the main choice is
usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be
talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
On Thanksgiving morning there are sporting events and parades (游行) in many cities to mark the
day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4 o"clock. The mother will prepare the
meal and the father will carve (切) the turkey. He will preside (主持) at the head of the table. The meal
will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will
also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone
present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is over, some will help with the dishes and others
will return to the living room to talk or watch television.
In many ways the festival of Thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese festival of Mid-Autumn Day. It is
a time for the family to get together for dinner.

after Saint Valentine, an early Christian (基督教的) churchman
who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian
beliefs on February 14 more than 1 700 years ago, but the day that
has his name is even earlier than that.
More than 2 000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a
holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their
names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container(容
器) . Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl
whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet
heart for a year.
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send
each other Valentine"s Day cards that tell of their.love. Sometimes
they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans
usually send gifts and cards through the mail system. But some
use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a
newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the
messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much. "
Others say more. This one, for example, "Dan, roses are red.
Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you.
Forever. Mary. "
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local,
but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other
countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine
message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the
world. These messages cost 80 dollars or more. An employee (雇
员) of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose
printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of
Valentine"s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make
sure he or she reads the newspaper.

C. On February 24.
D. It is not mentioned in the passage.

C. Readers of USA Today can send roses to their lovers along with the printed messages.

French is an officiallanguage of Canada as well as English. About
45% of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their

traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of
someone-or something-else. 1
In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup
at harvest festivals. 2 To the dance was gradually added pantomime-the imitation of movements and
gestures-as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.
While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in
the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. 3
Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal
talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are
known worldwide. 4 A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular
before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience.
So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.
5 Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year.
Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged.
Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.
B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.
C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.
D. Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself.
E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.
F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.
G. Consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities.
The earliest Mother"s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600"s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.
In the US, Mother"s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn"t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn"t alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.
Learning more about Mother"s Day and celebrating Mother"s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.
B. The ways people honor mothers.
C. The history of Mother"s Day.
D. The great contribution of mothers.
B. In the US.
C. In England.
D. In Italy.
B. not all the countries celebrate Mother"s Day in May
C. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday
D. it was in 1872 that Mother"s Day really came into being
B. only mothers are honored on Mother"s Day
C. understanding mothers" work is more important than just celebrating Mother"s Day
D. people should celebrate Mother"s Day every day
