Thanksgiving Day is 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 (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 feast．The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast．Everyone brought food．

In time, other colonies（殖民地）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（宣布）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 neighbours．But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October．

1.Thanksgiving Day is celebrated ．

A．in spring B．in summer

C．in winter D．in autumn

2.The first to celebrate thanksgiving were ．

A．the American Indians

B．some people from England

C．Sarah Josepha Hale

D．Governor Bradford

3.The passage mainly tells us ．

A．how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U．S．A．

B．that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday

C．how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated

D．how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places

People travel for a lot of reasons．Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture，or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places．But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it．Residents of cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain．Every summer，more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason: sun．

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries．Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches，parks，and roadsides．Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else．37 million tourists visit yearly，or one tourist for every person living in Spain．

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle．The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth．And with increased tourism，it's getting worse．The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St．Tropez．And in many places，swimming is dangerous because of pollution．

None of this，however，is damaging anyone's fun．The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists．Obviously，they don't go there for clean water．They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches．They don't even mind the pollution．No matter how dirty the water is，the coastline still looks beautiful．And as long as the sun shines，it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin，London，or else．

1.It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______．

A．they want to see battlefields or religious shrines．

B．they are interested in different cultures．

C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites．

D．they wish to escape from the cold，dark and rainy days back at home．

2.In Para．1，cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that ______．

A．they are not good cities in climate．

B．how rich their residents are．

C．these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots．

D．they have got more tourism than they can handle．

3.According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

A．Italy B．Spain

C．France D．Greece

4.The sentence "one tourist for every person living in Spain" (Para．2 ) means ____．

A．every year the number of tourists is equal to the number of people living in Spain．

B．a(chǎn)ll the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists．

C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist．

D．every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year．

5.Which of the following will damage the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A．Polluted water． B．Crowded buses．

C．Traffic jams． D．Rainy weather
