What Is a Harvest Festival?
Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land. In England, we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times(异教徒时代). We celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as “Harvest Festival”, usually during the month of September.
Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them. This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate. In schools and in churches, people bring food from home to a Harvest Festival Service. After the service, the food that has been put on display is usually made into parcels and given to people in need.
When Is Harvest Festival?
Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This is the full moon which falls in September, about Sept. 23. unlike the USA and Canada, the UK does not have a national holiday for Harvest Festival.
History of Harvest Festival—Traditions and Customs
Harvest Festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the Harvest season on 1 August and was called Lammas, meaning “loaf Mass”. Farmers made loaves of bread form the new wheat crop and gave them to their local church. They were then used as the Communion bread during a special mass thanking God for the harvest. The custom ended when Henry VII broke away from the Catholic Church, and nowadays we have harvest festivals at the end of the season.
Farmers celebrated the end of the harvest with a big meal called harvest supper. This was rather like a Christmas dinner, but as turkeys were unknown at that time, a goose stuffed(填充) with apples was eaten. Goose Fairs are still held in some English towns, but geese are no longer sold.
The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in church as we know it today began in 1843.

I have been living in the United States for more than a decade, and I now say thank you about 50 times a day. Most of the time, I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to the stranger who holds the door open for me at a restaurant. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for various things.
When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I didn’t know I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing. I had no idea how I was supposed to respond to the police officer who gave me a speeding ticket and then said, “Thanks, and have a good day.”
I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English in elementary school, and when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casual than doing so in Hindi. I reserved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I rarely thanked my friends or classmates. When I did, they either smiled quizzically at me or regarded the act as a kind of joke—a playful way to practice English.
When I say dhanyavaad, or “thank you” in Hindi, I make sure to look the person in the eye. Saying dhanyavaad to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I never heard anyone my age say thank you in Hindi. I did hear my father say dhanyavaad to people his age, but he did it as sincerely as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor. That’s how I came to understand expressions of gratitude.
Now, when I travel to India, I often offend people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a father figure to me, teaching me many things and advising me at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me” before leaving his house, realizing the import of my words only after they had left my mouth. He didn’t respond, but I saw his expression turn sour. He was filled with disgust. I couldn’t even apologize for thanking him. The damage was done.
4. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _____.
A. thinks Americans are too polite
B. appreciate the American culture
C. is used to the American thank-you culture
D. is popular with Americans for his politeness
5. According to the text, when saying dhanyavaad in Hindi, one _____.
A. should speak it in a gentle and sincere voice
B. must put his hands in front of his chest
C. is supposed to look at the person
D. had better wear a big smile on his face
6. What can be inferred about the Indian culture from the last paragraph?
A. Saying thank you in a foreign language is impolite.
B. One shouldn’t say thank you in a casual way.
C. It is unusual to apologize to family members.
D. It creates distance to thank someone close.
C
Dyslexia is a learning disorder. It affects the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read letters backward in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. Vanessa Harrar led the study, she reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a “sluggish shifting of attention across the senses”.
In the study, doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when whey heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.
She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eye to move and focus quickly.
The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard. This may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
7. Dylexia may affect a person’s _____.
A. social skill B. learning ability
C. reading interest D. sense of happiness
8. What can we learn from the study about people with dyslexia?
A. They learn more quickly if they see a word first before hearing it.
B. They learn more slowly than others when they see only a picture.
C. They may react more quickly when they see and hear the letter at the same time.
D. they have difficulty in shifting attention between seeing and hearing.
9. The underlined word “sluggish” in Para2 means _____.
A. heavy B. slow C. sudden D. simple
10. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A reading note. B. An advertisement.
C. A teaching essay. D. A science report.

Fun texting games to play with your friends
Finding time to talk with your friends on the phone is impossible at times, especially when you are totally wrapped up in your busy schedules, or you are not allowed to talk on the phone at the workplace. 11 Here are a few ways you can try.
1. Where are you?
12 But it doesn’t matter. Text your friends some items around you so that they could guess where you are. If they know that place well, then make sure you use as complicated descriptions and words as possible. If they don’t know that location, then tell them the first or the last letter of the place.
2. Guess a song.
Text your friends a few lines from your favorite songs and see who will guess correctly.
13 Not only will you have fun together, but also you will have a chance to challenge your brains, unless any one of you has access to Google.
3. Guess the abbreviation.
Once my partner wrote LFTCYAMTBY. 14 But it turned out to be a fun texting game. Even though I spent the whole afternoon guessing what he wrote, I failed. It was “looking for the cacti you asked me to buy yesterday.”
4. Create a story.
15 Text one of your friends the beginning of a story. One sentence will be enough to show them what story you would like to create. You can make up a ridiculously crazy story to read.
A. Choose the topic.
B. It seems to be childish.
C. Choose one movie and start.
D. I thought he must be drunk to text me like this.
E. The winner writes other lines from their favorite.
F. But people can use texting games to get entertained with friends.
G. This texting game is a fun way to develop and use your imagination.
