【題目】The Thanksgiving Day ,the fourth Thursday in November, is coming in America. But do you know something about the annual(每年的)Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade(游行) in New York?

There are thousands of bystanders(看熱鬧的人)and millions of television viewers. The Parade is as traditional as turkey. The year 2016 was the 90th year of Macy’s parade. It featured 15 huge balloons in the shape of cartoon and pop culture characters, 1,200 dancers and cheerleaders, 900 clowns(小丑),10 marching bands and nearly 9,000 workers, almost all of whom were volunteers.

The floats(彩車)and balloons have been getting larger ,more colorful and more surprising since Macy’s immigrant (移民的) workers organized the first Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In 2016, school children were invited to the Macy’s parade studios(畫室) outside New York City, for a first look at several just completed floats.

Bella was excited to be there. “I think it’s great because I get to see all of these floats before anyone else does in the parade,” said Bella.

John Piper is the president of Macy’s Studio. He said his work was fun all the time. “It’s a lot of work. All year long, the artists at Macy’s Studio all build these floats. We create them from scratch(涂抹). I have the finest carpenters(木匠), metal workers, painters all cooperating(合作) together,” said Piper.

The floats were supposed to advertise for commercial sponsors(贊助商) for the start of the Christmas season. But Amy Kule, the event producer said, “ And the floats are used to keep the beauty and the majesty(莊嚴(yán))of the parade. A Thanksgiving parade is always about giving back and entertaining(娛樂). But most importantly, it’s about leaving it for the next generation.”

A. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a custom held each year.

B. The way of celebrating Thanksgiving Day isn’t changed each year.

With the growing popularity of the Internet, more and more children are addicted to play online games day and night. It does harm not only to their health, especial their eyes, but also to their studies.

Comparing with online games, many traditional games, like hide-and-seek, benefits kids mentally and physically. They were ever popular with several generations, which not only learned anything valuable but also enjoyed playing the games. Therefore, the games are dying away now.

Personally, I think teachers and parents should take measure to limit their children’s Internet time. Let children to know the harm of online games and the benefits of traditional games. Help children judge healthy and unhealthy games. What’s more, we should often organize events for children in which traditional games played.
