题目列表(包括答案和解析)

　　Thanksgiving Day is a holiday in the U．S．A．It is celebrated（庆祝）every year on the fourth Thurs- day of November. On Thanksgiving Day members and friends get together for a turkey dinner. People living in cities, if their relatives live out of town, leave work early on Wednesday afternoon and drive their cars to distant places for a family reunion（团圆）.
