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）. Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend because most Americans don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays. During the holiday travel between big cities can be a headache.

　　The Thanksgiving Day’s holiday began in 1621. When the first English settlers arrived in New World, they didn’t have enough food, and the Indians helped the white men and taught them how to grow corn and vegetables. So in the autumn after they came to the New World, they had a good harvest. The English settlers decided to celebrate, and they invited their Indian neighbors to banquet（赴宴）in order to go to give thanks to them for their help and to the God.

　　This year 1 twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. 2 . They will attend U. S, schools, meet U. S. teenagers, and form 3 of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new 4 and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

　　Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. 5 , George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

　　Fred, a lively young man; knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected－much 6 . Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects 7 the six that are usual in the United States：There were almost no 8 activities.

　　Family life, too, was different. The father's word was 9 , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. 10 , he missed having a car.

　　“Back home, you 11 some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly 12 boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American school,” he says. “It is far too easy by our 13 . But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but 14 . Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for 15. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
