Thanksgiving Day is 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 (清教徒) 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．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．
【1】Thanksgiving Day is celebrated ．
A．in spring B．in summer
C．in winter D．in autumn
【2】The first to celebrate thanksgiving were ．
A．the American Indians
B．some people from England
C．Sarah Josepha Hale
D．Governor Bradford
【3】The passage mainly tells us ．
A．how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U．S．A．

22、We are all doubtful of ourselves sometimes. Even the most successful people can be unsure of themselves. Some people are clearly more confident than others, though. 【1】 Like a muscle, with training and in time, it can become strong and powerful. In other words, confidence is a habit. Here is some advice to develop this most important habit.
Make friends with your failings and limitations.
Obviously, you are not perfect — far from it. So long as you are challenging yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone and seeking to develop, you will be making mistakes, which are signs of growth and nothing to be ashamed of. 【2】
【3】
Confident people tend to live in a more conscious and calm way, setting goals for themselves. They are brave enough to bear failure, and are comfortable with not getting things right first time. As we challenge ourselves, our comfort zone grows, and this growth often includes the pain of failure. This pain is too much for unconfident people to bear. 【4】 Success, for confident people, is inevitable. It’s only a matter of time.
Keep a record of your achievements.
It is common for people with limited self-confidence to compare themselves negatively with others. Such people may think that others are “better” and have achieved more, so it can be very helpful to make a list of achievements. If you do this, you may find that the list is longer than you thought. Imagine what you would think if this were a list of someone else’s achievements. 【5】 Would you think highly of him or her?
A．Set challenging goals.
B．Try to achieve your goals.
C．Would you be moved by that person?
D．So it’s difficult for us to get rid of the pain.
E．Confidence can be developed like most other qualities.
F．Confident people are happy with themselves in all their weakness.
G．But to confident people, failure is only a stepping-stone, not the destination.

24、The People Behind the Music
Vocalists who sing and performers who play musical instruments while vocalists sing are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. The majority of people in the music industry work “behind the scenes” but the roles they play in the musical process are very important.
Songwriters
Before you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it. Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams combine the talents of a lyricist, who writes the words to songs, and instrumentalist, often a piano player or guitarist, who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the lyrics of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.
Arrangers
After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what tempo, or speed, the song will have, and whether the song should have a lower or higher pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.
Recording Engineers
Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, these engineers set up the recording studio. Next, they use electronic equipment to capture the music. Finally, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the melodies and rhythms of each musician.
Studio Musicians
Not every musician is a star, of course, and many talented singers and instrumentalists work in the background as studio musicians. These artists are not a part of any one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the CDs you buy, as well as soundtracks for television shows, movies, and radio ads.
Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.
【1】The article is mainly about________.
A．vocalists who sing the songs people enjoy
B．songwriting teams who combine their talents
C．people who play a role in creating music
D．instrumentalists who work in the background
【2】Why does the author mention Elton John and Bernie Taupin?
A．to give an example of a songwriting team
B．to explain how to become a pop music legend
C．to compare them with other talented songwriters
D．to persuade readers to buy their CDs
【3】What does the author imply about Bernie Taupin?
A．He plays both piano and guitar.
B．He is less famous than Elton John.
C．He is less important as a songwriter than Elton John.
D．He writes the music that has made Elton John’s lyrics famous.
【4】Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A．Name recognition is a necessary part of the music industry.
B．Studio musicians would be more successful as members of one musical group.
C．People who work behind the scenes to make music do important jobs.
D．It is important to buy music CDs made by performing artists who are not yet famous.
