Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
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.
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.
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 1863 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 neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
40. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated _________ .
A. in spring B. summer C. in autumn D. in winter
41. The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .
A. some people from England B. the American Indians
C. Sarah Josepha Hale D. Governor Bradford

A. in the U. S. A. B. in Great Britain
C. in Canada D. on some island off the Atlantic
43. The passage mainly tells us .
A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.
B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated
C. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday
D. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places

You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It’s just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention.
The inventor of the dishwasher, Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.
Like Cochrane’s, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem.
You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying: “I wish someone would invent something for…” Or you can look at people in different areas, such as on the street, or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.
The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways.
You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way. For example, instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of using something to protect the ground from your feet. And if one solution doesn’t work, can it be put to other uses? That was how yellow post---it notes(N次贴) came about ---a “failed” adhesive (粘合剂) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too!
After all, most inventions are not brand new (全新). They do not come out of nowhere, but come out of things or ideas that already exist. And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.
44. The main idea of this story is _______.
A. how to improve the world around you
B. how to develop your potential to invent something
C. problem-solving technique
D. how inventors invent
45. What made Josephine Cochrane decide to invent the dishwasher?
A. Her love of parties. B. Her dislike of dishwashing.
C. Her love of inventing. D. Her desire to do the dishwashing better.
46. Which of the following is one of the ways to find a problem?
A. Look at the world from a different angle.
B. Find out what is wrong with things you use now.
C. Do experiments. D. Put things to other uses.
47. The underlined phrase “come about” probably means to _______.
A. come into being B. put to use C. work D. become
D
