A Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessings.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 threeday 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 Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.语篇解读：本文介绍了感恩节的来历以及各地庆祝的方式。

B Several different stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentine’s Day.One legend dates as far back as the days of the Roman Empire.According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army.He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join.Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.A priest(牧师)named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people.Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14.After his death, Valentine was made a saint(圣人), and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine’s Day.It became the custom for lovers to send each other message on this day.Now Saint Valentine’s Day is a time for people to send one another
greetings of many kinds.February 14, Valentine’s Day, is sweethearts’ day, on which people in love with each other express their tender(温柔的)emotions.People sometimes put their love message in a heartshaped box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons(带子).Words of letters may be written on the flower covered card, or something else.Whatever the form may be, the message is almost the same: “Will you be my Valentine？”

Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality.They make you who you are.Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it.If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction.If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere.No one can avoid them.And they are good too.They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see.When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out.Just cool yourself to think in a different direction.Think in a positive way.Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides.Focus on the good one.Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them.No matter what happens, they will be there to help you.Trust them and they will never let you down.All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.语篇解读：本文是议论文。人生难免会遇到困难，没有人可以避免困难，但是困难能开阔视野，也能提供机会。

The launch was very successful.“When the spaceship was lifting off, I could really feel the high gravity”, said Yang Liwei.“When the spaceship separated from the rocket, I suddenly got a feeling of soaring into the sky because of the zero gravity.” 发射过程是非常地成功。“当太空飞船发射时，我还可以感受到明显的重力，”杨利伟说：“但当飞船与火箭分离时，我突然就有一种腾飞上空的感觉，因为那时重力已经是零了。”
During the 21-hour space flight, the Shenzhou V circled the earth 14 times.在21小时的太空飞行过程中，神舟五号共绕地球14周。While the spaceship was circling the earth for the sixth time, Yang Liwei spoke with ground control in Gansu.在绕地飞行第六周时，杨利伟通过甘肃的地面控制与大家对话。He was also able to speak with his wife and 8-year-old son.他还同他的妻子和八岁的儿子进行了对话。Yang Liwei had several tasks to complete during the flight and only slept in the spaceship for about 3 hours.杨利伟在飞行过程中需要完成很多项任务，所以他在飞船上只有3小时睡觉。While he was sleeping, the spaceship circled the earth twice.当他在睡觉时，飞船又绕行了地球两周。
When the spaceship was doing its seventh circle, Yang Liwei showed the flags of China and the United Nations, expressing the wishes of the Chinese people to explore and use space peacefully.在飞船绕地第七周时，杨利伟通过向我们展示了中国和联合国的旗帜，表达了中国群众对和平开发利用太空的共同愿望。
At 6:23 a.m.on October 16th, Yang Liwei landed in Inner Mongolia safely.10月16日6时23分，杨利伟在内蒙古安全降落。He told reporters later, “The surface of the spaceship was glowing red when it came back into the earth’s atmosphere.When ShenzhouV let out its parachute, I felt the ship was shaking.” 杨利伟回到地球大气层时，直升飞机就会飞到他将降落的位置，准备去接住他。As Yang Liwei returned into the earth’s atmosphere, helicopters were flying to where he would land, ready to collect him.他在之后告诉记者：“在飞船回到地球大气层时它的表层已经开始变红。在神五放出它的降落伞时，我感受到它在摇晃。”
Millions of people all over China were watching TV when the spaceship landed safely.中国上百万的人在飞船安全降落时都看着电视的播报。When Yang Liwei climbed out of the spaceship, he smiled and waved to the crowds waiting for him.Yang Liwei was happy to be home but he said, “I thought 21 hours was too short to stay in space.”当杨利伟从飞船中出来，他微笑着并向等候着他的人挥手。杨利伟很高兴自己回到了家，说：“我认为在太空21小时是最短的时间不过了。”

Memories of Christmas圣诞节对于圣诞的记忆
For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November.对于我，圣诞总是开始于是凉风中的十一月中期。My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted.我的妹妹Alison和我一起坐在炉火前，写下我们想要的礼物来告诉圣诞老人。We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post.我们很认真地写下“致北极的圣诞老人”，然后会给妈妈寄出去。
With December our excitement grew each day-as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended the town carol service.随着十二月我们的兴奋感一天一天地增长——我们会开启新一年的日历，寄出圣诞卡，看着圣诞灯出现在街道上，参加城镇的圣歌服务。And of course, there was snow everywhere.Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.当然，到处的是雪的缘故，我们有足够的原料来做雪人，可以在学校运动场上打刺激的雪战。
On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons.在平安夜，全家人都一起帮忙装饰房子，准备圣诞树、装饰品和气球。Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready.到了下午Auntie Kathleen和我的两个堂兄弟来的时候一切就都准备好了。Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings at the end of our beds.在睡觉之前，我们留了点酒和饼干给圣诞老人，接着将长袜挂在床尾。We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning.Christmas morning!我们尽可能地尝试在圣诞老人来之前保持清醒，但等我们再有意识时就已经是早上了。圣诞节的早上！
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets.现在在床尾挂着的是装满各种礼物和糖果的长袜。Christmas morning was bright and sunny and , after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents.圣诞的一早明媚而晴朗，到教堂以后我和堂兄David一起跑出花园玩新收到的礼物。
Lunch was always late, but what a lunch!A big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding.I like turkey breast the best.午饭总是晚到的，但这是多厉害的午饭啊！一个被填满蔬菜的大火鸡，之后还有圣诞布丁！我最喜欢火鸡胸肉了。I put so much food in my mouth sometimes that it was hard to swallow.We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again.有时我同时塞太多东西在嘴里而无法咽下。我们很高兴地唱着圣诞颂歌，戴着傻气的纸帽子欢声笑语。
After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards.午饭之后，大人看着电视里放着的王后的演讲在沙发上睡着了，而我们全部人都在玩卡片游戏。Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen.It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating.By bedtime all of the children were very tired.之后我们就着有雪人装饰的大的圣诞蛋糕喝了茶。虽然看起来不可能，但我们还在继续吃。As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.到睡觉时间时我们都已经很累了。我们熄灯的一瞬间我们就沉沉地睡着了，进入了一个悠长的美好的梦境。
