Time to give thanks

When it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind. It’s the right picture, but it’s not complete.

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts. It’s about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs. Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day.

1. Time for prayers and paying back

Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries. Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day. The churches provide worship (礼拜) services and organize special events for the occasion.

Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (给予) them in the form of friends and family.

Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back.

2. Family reunions and showing gratitude

Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving. Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.

【题目】The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and had been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt： "The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?" I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

"If you come by right now, " the receptionist said, " the dentist will fit you in. "

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. "

"How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently. "Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, "the assistant said.

"The artwork?" I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it ： on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was ！ At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!

【1】 Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?

【2】 What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?

A. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

B. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.

C. The surroundings of the dentist's office.

D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

【3】 Why did the author suddenly smile?

A. Because the dentist came at last.

B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

C. Because she could relax in the chair.

D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.

【4】 What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

A. Strike while the iron is hot.

B. Have a good word for one's friend.

C. Put oneself in others' shoes.

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

【题目】Umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life． When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it's raining, we’ll carry it purposefully． But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget【1】we’ve put it． It has to wait patiently and pitifully for【2】owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella．

Once I suddenly found my longtime【3】(use) umbrella “disappeared”． I really got lost and regretted quite some time【4】my own carelessness．

Several days later, out of my【5】 (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked． I was extremely glad to regain it． Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar【6】me, I found for the first time its wooden handle【7】（wear）out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years． I sought for it only when I needed it． It occurred to me that I should have paid【8】(much) attention to it．

It sets me thinking． Around us there are always people giving us support in silence just like【9】umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather． Will gou think of those individuals【10】have helped you get through difficlty when you are leading a comfortable life?
