篇一 : 阅读理解。 Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday
阅读理解。 Thanksgiving 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, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near
what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down 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 Govemor Bradford declared a
three-day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them
for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, other colonies 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
proclaimed 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
neighbors. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second
Monday in October.1. The passage mainly tells us _____. A. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated
