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（清教徒） 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 Governor Bradford declared a three-day feastThe 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.1Thanksgiving Day is celebrated _.Ain spring Bin summerCin autumn Din winter2The first to celebrate thanksgiving were _.Asome people from EnglandBthe American IndiansCSarah Josepha HaleDGovernor Bradford3We can infer from the passage that New England must be _.Ain the U.S.A.Bin Great BritainCin CanadaDon some island off the Atlantic4Which of the following is NOT true?AThanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B.

Both a poor diet and a lack of exercise are to blame. But what researchers have been unable to discover until now is exactly how major a role activity plays in the battle against obesity. Now a new report offers new hope for parents concerned about obesity. It suggests that making even small increases in your daily exercise, such as walking your child to school each day instead of taking the car, could have dramatic long-term results. Using the latest cutting-edge techniques, researchers discovered that doing 15 minutes of proper exercise a day lowered a childs chances of being obese by almost 50 percent. As long as the activity was at least enough to make your child a little out of breath, it seemed to be of benefit. Researchers did research on 5,500 12-year-olds, measuring their activity levels for 10 hours a day. Each child wore a special Actigraph activity monitor, which recorded every move they made. Most of them wore the monitor for a week, but all used the Actigraph for at least three days. They also had their fat measured using an X-ray scanner, which differentiates (区分) muscle and fat deposits in the body. Professor Chris Riddoch from Bath University headed up the research together with Professor Andy Ness at Bristol. Professor Riddoch explained the importance of their results. “This study provides some of the first evidence on the link between activity and obesity in children. We know that diet is important, but what this research tells us is that even small amounts of exercise appear to have dramatic results.”5. The underlined word “obesity” in the first paragraph means “ ”.A. being fatB. being strongC. being tallD. being healthy6. From the research, we can conclude that .A. diet plays a more important role than exercise in the battle against obesity B. 15-minute exercise a day is not enough for battling against obesityC. exercise has nothing to do with obesityD. even small amounts of exercise can help to lose weight7. The passage mainly wants to tell us .A. the important role exercise plays in the battle against obesityB. the relationship between exercise and obesityC. the important roles both diet and exercise play in the battle against obesityD. an important research on diet and obesity8. This passage most probably comes from a _.A. novel B. textbook C. newspaper D. letter CGood health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”. Dont eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, dont overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight. Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you dont get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp. Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.9. In order to keep good health, _ .A. we should eat a lot of sweets B. one needs a large amount of fatC. people should eat according to the foods nutrition D. we must try to sleep now and then10. The writer explains _in this passage.A. how to eat B. the importance of doing exerciseC. how to keep healthy D. what to eat11. The title of the article should be_ .A. Eating and Exercising B. How Vitamins Work in Mans BodyC. Staying Healthy D. Sleeping WellDMany parents want there children to be exposed to good music. While not all people are great musicians, everyone is equipped to enjoy music. Parents are certainly capable of encouraging children to appreciate music at home.To prepare a musical environment for young children, we should provide child-safe instruments such as maracas, cymbals and jingle bells. More adventurous parents may even allow children access to drums and keyboard instruments. Sing to the baby, even before birth. Listen to a variety of radio stations during long car rides.Beyond simply creating a musical environment, try teaching some simple lessons such as fast and slow, loud and soft, or high and low. If you play a musical instrument, be sure your children see you practicing and enjoying it. Ask a friend who plays an instrument to show your child how his instrument works. Look through a music store and discuss the different types of instruments or different types of music.Look for opportunities to listen to live music. Many communities have free concerts in the summertime at a park or shopping center. Local churches have musicals during holiday seasons, and most of these presentations are free to the public. Cultural festivals offer opportunities to hear music and see dancing from other countries or traditions, such as Greek folk dances, Jamaican steel drums, or African music.Having done these things, your children will be well prepared for musical education. Even if a child does not pursue formal music education, he or she has the basic tools to enjoy music. The entire family benefits from the time spent together in a musical environment. Perhaps best of all, your children will have witnessed you learning together with them.12.
