AThanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friendsgather 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 witha good harvest.On December 4,1619,the Pilgrims from England landed near what is nowCharlesCity,Virginia.They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across theAtlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed atwhat is now Plymouth,Massachusetts,in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winterwas cruel.Many of the Pilgrims died.But the next year,they had a good harvest.So GovernorBradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）.The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join themfor their special feast.Everyone brought food.In time,other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving.But it tookyears before there was a national Thanksgiving Day.During the Civil War,Sarah Josepha Halepersuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it.He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursdayof November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.Today,Americans celebrate this happy harvestfestival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in muchthe same way as their American neighbours.But the

placesB BHow Americans Began to Eat TomatoesPeople have strange ideas about food.For example,the tomato is a kind of very deliciousvegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutritionand vitamin in it.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them intheir gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes“poison apples.”President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learnedman.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kindsof tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President s party.The guests thought the souptasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poisonapples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored(忠实的)guests about the fact.5.After you read the passage,which of the following do you think is true?A.Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B.Americans didnt eat tomatoes before 19th century.C.Even now Americans dont eat tomatoes.D.In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.6.The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste oftomatoes .A.while he was in ParisB.when he was a little boyC.because

wife8.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the Presidents party was made of.tomatoes.B.All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the Presidents cook was nice.C.All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.D.None of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.C CMeeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may sendthe wrong signals(信号).Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who istrying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greateror lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is arelationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in“small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many Europeancountrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting workingrelationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there wasan uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting toknow their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words areunnecessary.Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;Germans prefer to get down to business morequickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because one culture startsdiscussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these valuesare quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multiculturalenvironment(多元文化环境)will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,9.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_.A.the English prefer to make long speechesB.too many words are of no useC.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nameD.even talk and silence can be culturally different10.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A.By sharing different ways of lifeB.By accepting different babitsC.By recognizing different valuesD.By speaking each others languages11.What would be the best title for the text?A.Multicultural Environment2/7B.Cross-Cultural DifferencesC.How to Understand Each OtherD.How to Build up a RelationshipD DIn choosing a friend,one should be very careful.A good friend can help you study.Youcan have fun together and make each other happy.Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they willrun away.How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities(品质)of chara cter,especially understanding,honesty and reliability(可靠).Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend.A good friend tries to understandhow another person is feeling.He is not quick to judge.Instead,he tries to learn from others.He puts himself in the other persons place,and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.He is also a good listener.At the same time,however,a good friend is honest.He does not look for faults(过错)in others.He notices their good points.In short,a friend will try to understand me andaccept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on(信赖)a good friend.If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will bethere.If I need a favor,he will do his best to help me.If I am in trouble,he will notrun away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone withwhom we can have fun.We should enjoy our lives,and we would enjoy our friendship.That iswhy I especially like friends who are fun to be with.A good friend likes the same thingsI like.We share experience(经验)and learn from each other.A good friend has a good senseof humor(幽默),too.He likes to laugh with me.That is how we share
