Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday of November. The month of November is in autumn, the main season for harvesting crops. The w riter O.

They gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food. Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621. There is evidence t hat settlers in other parts of America held earlier Thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims? Thanksgiving st ory is the most popular.

An American Indian named Squanto helped them. When summer ended, the Pilgrims had a good harvest of corn and barley. There was enough food to last t hrough the w inter.

February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday. First of all, St. Valentine?s Day is not a holiday fro m work. No one gets a day off. On Valentine?s Day peopleusually send romantic cards to someone they lo ve or want to be loved by. The cards are called “ valentines” . They are very colorful, often decorated with he arts, flowers, or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. The basic message of the v erse is al w ays “ Be My Valentine” , “ Be My S weet Heart” or “ Lover” . A valentine is often anonymous, or some times signed “ Guess who” . The person receiving it has to guess who sent it. This can lead to interesting sp eculation. And that?s hal fthe fun ofvalentines. One of the symbols of St. Valentine?s Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printe d on the card; he is a w inged infant, not wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrowinto a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love into a person?sheart to make the person fall in love immediately, maybe with the fir st person to come along. Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have pictures of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the n on-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love. But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about St. Valentine?s Day that most people have com e to believe. One story is about a Christian man w hose name so unded something like “ Valentine.” He lived around AD 250. At that time the Roman Emperor, Claudius II, refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get m arried for any reason whatsoever. Christian couples came to Valentine to be married. So Valentine w ould ma rry them in a Christian way. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that h e w rote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison. An d the leaves were shaped like a heart. 共5题 (1) St. Valentine?s Day is a holiday for _. 本题2分 (A) people celebrating the new year?s coming (B) people fooling others (C) people getting a family reunion (D) people expressing love to their lovers 你选择的答案： D 正确 正确答案：D (2) The word “ anonymous” in the first paragraph means _. 本题2分 (A) people do something by leaving false name (B) people do something by leaving no name (C) people do something by leaving real name (D) people do something by leaving nickname 你选择的答案： B 正确 正确答案：B (3) Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? 本题2分 (A) Valentine is a person?s name.
