　　James is an American boy. He's going to be a student in a middle school in Shanghai. He wants to know much about China, because his parents tell him there are many festivals in China. So now he's trying to find something about the Mid-Autumn Festival（中秋节）. Here's what his computer tells him.

　　The Mid-Autumn Festival usually comes in September or October. On that day many families will have a big dinner. They will eat moon cakes. They are small round cakes. Most of them are sweet. People also give moon cakes to their friends as presents（礼物）. Then in the evening people will go out to celebrate（庆祝）the round moon. It seems bigger and brighter. They also tell the story of Chang'e flies to the moon. It's the time for all the family members to get together.

　　James thinks of Thanksgiving Day in his country. It's almost the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. So he thinks he's going to talk about that to his Chinese friends. Here's what he's going to say:

　　The American people celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday of November. On that day people give thanks to God for giving them a good harvest（丰收）. It's usually a family day. People get together to celebrate the harvest. A big turkey（火鸡）and some pumpkin pies（南瓜派）are their special food for the festival. They always have a lot to eat.

Eating

　　An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I'm afraid it'll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”

　　This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's”, or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings. They're great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say. “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

　　American customs about who pays for dates are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make question clear at the very beginning.
