       Backpacking through Africa, I always carried some food with me  21   I couldn’t find something to eat．

       I was  22   through a local market one day when I  23  upon a jar of   24  jam．I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the first time I had seen peach．I took it．

       For the next few weeks, when I was feeling the need for a little  25  , I would carefully  26   the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit．Mum, delicious．I didn’t   27  it with anybody．It sat safely in my  28  , taken out on only special  29  ．

       One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain．Everybody scattered for  30  and so did I．But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some   31   clothes．

       Still  37  , she stuck two fingers into the jar, scooped out the  38  jam and placed it into her toothless mouth．Carefully, like fish bones, she  39  the pieces of glass．She studied the broken container  40  she was certain that there was nothing left．Then she left．

       My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me．

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 people from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They settled down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.

   The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The people landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the people died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast. The people 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 declared the last Thursday of November in 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 neighbors. But the Canadians Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

55. Who declared the last Thursday of November in 1863 as a day of thanksgiving ?

A. Governor Bradford                       B. the American Indians

C. Sarah Josepha Hale                       D. Abraham Lincoln

56. Which of the following is true?

A. Thanksgiving Day was a holiday to celebrate a good harvest at the very beginning.

B. Abraham Lincoln was the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.

C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.

D. There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

57. The passage mainly tells us________.

A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the USA

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
