              Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.21教育名师原创作品
              Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival.This is why it is celebrated in late fall,after the crops are in.But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest.On December 4,1619,the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City,Virginia.They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.21*cnjy*com
              The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth,Massachusetts,in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel.Many of the Pilgrims died.But the next year,they had a good harvest.So Govemor Bradford declared a three-day feast.The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast.Everyone brought food.
              In time,other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of Thanksgiving.But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day.During the Civil War,Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it.He proclaimed (宣布) the last Thursday of November 1863as a day of Thanksgiving.Today,Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors.But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

              Is it a tree? Is it a bear? If you're looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it's a topiary(林木雕塑). A topiary is a tree or a bush(灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills.
              A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that is just planted or one that is already in place.
              In June of the plant's first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it's time to shape(给……造型) the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.
              Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don't grow. The gardeners have to brush snow of the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.
              Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe like topiaries, too. In the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it's popular in many parts of the world.
              (1) Put the following in the right order according to the passage. ______
              A. The gardener chooses a bush for the topiary.
              B. The whole bush grows tall enough for shaping.
              C. The gardener begins to shape the bottom of the bush.
              D. The gardener draws the shape of a topiary.
              A. d-a-b-c
              B. b-c-a-d
              C. a-d-c-b
              D. d-a-c-b
              (2) In which part of the world did the topiary gardening begin first? ______
              A. In Rome.
              B. In Europe.
              C. In America.

              Before roads needed traffic lights,railways had used signals(信号) to control train traffic.In early days,these signals included a ball and something that looked like a kite.When the kite was on top,it meant danger; when the ball was raised,it was safe.
              In 1841,a developed railway signal was used at the London station.It included a signal arm in the horizontal(水平的) position which meant"stop".The signal was painted red so that it was easy to see and could attract the drivers'attention.
              At night,oil lights were added on the top.A red light meant"stop"and a white light meant the drivers could go on.
              In January 1876,a train knocked on another train running ahead on the same roads,because the signals were not clear enough.13people were killed in the accident and the others were badly hurt.
              Then people changed the signal.The signal for"stop"became a red light and a yellow light was added to tell the drivers to drive carefully.In 1893,a green light took the place of the white light,because the white light was often mistaken for a street or house light.
              Since railway signals were introduced,city officials(官员) decided to try them out on the roads of London.

              In the USA,it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet,but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other.Greetings are casual-a handshake,a smile and a"hello"will do just fine.
              The British often simply say"hello"when they meet friends.They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time.Social kissing,often just a peck (轻吻) on the cheek (脸颊),is common in an informal (非正式的) situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.
              In Japan,the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone,instead of giving a handshake or a hug.
              Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way-kiss each other on both cheeks.The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left.When men meet for the first time,a handshake is the norm.
              In Albania,men shake hands when greeting one another.A kiss on the cheek may be also common if there is a close relationship.Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.2
              In Armenia,by tradition,a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.Between good friends and family members,a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.

              We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.

                 So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?

                 ◆Keep a kitchen diary

                 All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.

                 ◆Buy only what we need

                 We should ask for smaller portions in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn't bring much food we don't need home even if large posters ask us to do so.

                 ◆Develop the habit of packing food

                 Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don't plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.

                 Don't put it off! Let's stop food waste today!

              (1) Why is our nation being encouraged to stop wasting food?
              A. Because there's enough food for Chinese people.
              B. Because Chinese consumers like to try delicious food.
              C. Because the number of food wasted by us is growing fast.
              D. Because it's traditional to invite friends to dinner in China.
              (2) Miss Li is a housewife; she'd better ________ at home.
              A. keep a kitchen diary
