18．Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for God's blessing．
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the crops are in．But the first thanksgiving 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．
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 Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）．The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast．Everyone brought food．
As time went by，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．In 1863，he proclaimed（宣布） the last Thursday of November as 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．
Thanksgiving Day is observed by church services and family reunions； the turkey dinner is a reminder of the four wild turkeys served at the Pilgrims'first thanksgiving feast．There are slight differences in Canada's and the United States'Thanksgiving in dates but the tradition is very similar．Other countries celebrate Thanksgiving Day as well．
46．The first group of people in America to have thanksgiving wereA．
A．some people from England
B．the American Indians
C．Sarah Josepha Hale
D．Governor Bradford
47．We can infer from the passage that New England must beA．
A．in the U．S．A．
B．in Great Britain
C．in Canada               
D．on some island off the Atlantic
48．What's the passage mainly about？B
A．It's about how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U．S．A．
B．It's about how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated．
C．It's about that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday．
D．It's about how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with time and  places．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了感恩節(jié)的由來以及在美國和加拿大慶祝感恩節(jié)的差別．

解答 46．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段前4行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 Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）．說明慶祝感恩節(jié)的是來自歐洲的清教徒，故A正確．
47．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段1，2行The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest．The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620．說明這里的new England就是指現(xiàn)在的美國，故A正確．．
48．B．主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一段Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing可知本文主要講述的是感恩節(jié)的由來以及在美國和加拿大慶祝感恩節(jié)的差別．故B正確．

點評 本文是一個歷史文化類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．（37）A  When you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health．When you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you．When you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it．（38）D All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you．
Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money．（39）G，because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes，life is like a revolving（旋轉的）door．When it closes，it also opens．（40）B．
