　　Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States．They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November．Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October．In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September．

　　A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground．In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn．In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year．They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had．People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks．

　　The first thanksgiving service(儀式)in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 33 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country．They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys．The next year, many more English people arrived．They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good．They decided to celebrate it with a big meal．They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires．About 90 Indians also came to the meal．Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together．The festival lasted three days．

　　A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year．Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving．In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day．

Homework is a big part of going to school. Unluckily, homework has to be done outside class—during times when you would probably much rather be doing something else, for example, you like going to a birthday party instead of copying out a whole Chinese text. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work
First, be sure you understand the task. Write it down in your notebook if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what’s expected. If you want, you can also ask how long the special homework task should take to finish, so you can plan your time.
Second, use any small pieces of time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls that allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school means the less you’ll have to do that night.
What if you don’t have time in school to get homework done? You’ll need to think about how much homework you have for a given night and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most high school students have more than two hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you got a task in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to spend more time on homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework timetable, especially if you enjoy sports or activities or have an after-school job.
【小題1】Is homework a big part of going to school?
【小題2】What do students like doing outside class?
【小題3】Where can students study or do their homework in school?

“I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door,” Mr. Jackson said.
Anyway, Mr. Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn’t say what was wrong because they didn’t know what kind of snake it was. Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.

Don't argue（爭(zhēng)辯）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.

Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values （價(jià)值觀）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

1.Is communication a problem only for parents and school children?

2.How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?

3.What should you do when your parents refuse to accept your reasons?

4.Why do you need to talk about your values with your parents?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

閱讀短文，按要求完成各題。

Jane Goodall is one of the most well-known scientists in the world. Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the research of Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. She became interested in animals and animal stories when she was a very young child. She always dreamed of working with wild animals. When she was eleven years old, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women usually did in the 1940s. Everybody was laughing except her mother. “If you really want something, you work hard, you take advantage of opportunity, you never give up, you find a way,” her mother said to her. The opportunity came at last. A school friend invited her to Africa. Jane worked as a waitress until she had got enough money to travel there.

In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees living by a lake in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.

Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees in this area of Africa. It was not easy work. They were very shy and would run away whenever she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust(信任). She gave the chimpanzees human names such as David Graybeard, Flo and Fifi. Watching the chimpanzees, she made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruits. But she found that they also eat meat. A few weeks later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools(工具) to help them catch insects.

Jane Goodall has written many books for adults and children about wild chimpanzees. Her most recent book is called Hope for Animals and Their World. It tells about saving several kinds of endangered animals.
