【題目】Thanksgiving is the national holiday in the USA. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day, Americans give thanks for the good things in their lives. Everything started in 1620, when the Pilgrims（清教徒）left their country, England, on a ship called the Mayflower. Their trip took 65 days and was very difficult. They landed near Plymouth Rock in America and they started to build their homes there.

During the first winter, many people died because they hadn’t got enough food to eat. In the spring of 1621, the Pilgrims became friends with the Native Americans. The Native Americans taught them how to plant crops and how to hunt. In 1621, the harvest（收獲）was very good. The Pilgrims were very thankful. So they invited their Native American friends to a feast（盛宴）. The feast lasted for three days. The main dishes included corns, pumpkins, fish and turkeys.

Today Thanksgiving is still a day to be thankful for family, friends and good food. Families gather around the table and enjoy a traditional dinner of roast turkey with sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie for dessert. On this day many Americans go to or watch on TV football matches.

【解析】

本文主要介紹了感恩節(jié)的由來。1620年英國(guó)的清教徒離開了他們的國(guó)家，來到了美國(guó)。在當(dāng)?shù)厝说膸椭�，他們度過了第一個(gè)困難的冬天，所以為了感謝當(dāng)?shù)厝说膸椭按筘S收，他們舉行感恩節(jié)，表達(dá)感謝�，F(xiàn)在感恩節(jié)仍然存在，主要是為了感謝家人，親人和朋友。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Today Thanksgiving is still a day to be thankful for family, friends and good food.及感恩節(jié)的意義，可知感恩節(jié)是為了感謝那些幫助過我們的親人，朋友，家人等，所以選項(xiàng)中friends, parents, teachers都屬于幫助過我們的人，而唯獨(dú)D不是，故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Everything started in 1620, when the Pilgrims（清教徒）left their country…可知離現(xiàn)在大約在400年前，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Native Americans taught them how to plant crops and how to hunt. In 1621, the harvest（收獲）was very good. The Pilgrims were very thankful.可知清教徒是為了感謝當(dāng)?shù)孛绹?guó)人的幫助以及當(dāng)年的大豐收，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The main dishes included corns, pumpkins, fish and turkeys.可知感恩節(jié)的主要食物是谷物，南瓜派，魚以及火雞；故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。通過閱讀短文可知，本文講了感恩節(jié)的日期，人們的活動(dòng)及主要講述了感恩節(jié)的由來也就是這個(gè)節(jié)日的歷史背景，所以由此看出每一個(gè)偉大的節(jié)日都有它的歷史背景；而A,C,D文章都沒有提到，而且也沒有依據(jù)可以推斷，故選B。

第1,2,3,4題都屬于細(xì)節(jié)理解題，題目比較簡(jiǎn)單，第5小題屬于推理判斷題，這類題型，我們無法從原文中直接找到答案，只能通過文中內(nèi)容推測(cè)出正確答案，這時(shí)理解作者的寫作意圖很重要。本文作者主要是說明感恩節(jié)的歷史背景，故只有B正確。

World Sleep Day, on 21st March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world don’t realize it’s very important. As a result, sleep problems are quite common.

In 2011, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Among the people, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(診斷) with insomnia(失眠). In addition, 30.7 percent of them have visited doctors for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.

The survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples can’t fall asleep and often wake up in the middle of the night. The main reasons of the problems are pressure(壓力) from school or work and a fast pace(節(jié)奏) of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also affect sleep and cause poor quality sleep. The survey also found that large numbers of people find it hard to sleep at night. The short term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating(專心). If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.

There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.

Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above,you can rest better at night and work better during the day.
