Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in the United States and Canada. Unlike many other American holidays, Thanksgiving isn’t about gifts, fireworks shows, or games, but about being with family, and giving thanks and celebrating your blessings (祝福).
The modern Thanksgiving holiday is based on the Thanksgiving harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims, who were early English settlers (定居者). The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Bay in modern-day Massachusetts in 1620. They celebrated Thanksgiving after their first successful harvest in 1621.
That first holiday lasted for three days, and was attended by both Pilgrims and Native Americans and celebrated the friendship between them. During the previous winter, the Pilgrims had struggled to survive. Their crops had died in the sandy soil and they had trouble finding food. The winter in Massachusetts was much colder than the winters back in England. Half the Pilgrims died and more were at risk of dying. The local Native Americans provided the Pilgrims with food and supplies during the winter. The next summer, they also taught the Pilgrims several important survival skills like how to grow corn. This festival marked one of the first friendly exchanges between Pilgrims and Native Americans.
Historically, Thanksgiving was celebrated at a time when most farmers were finished harvesting their crops. They would have a big dinner with their family and closest friends to celebrate their blessings and harvests. President Abraham Lincoln later established (确立) the tradition of a national and annual Thanksgiving holiday.
While most Americans are no longer farmers, the tradition of celebrating blessings and food remains and the holiday is still held at harvest time, on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to be have in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
8．Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A．The British often enlarge the fact.
B．British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C．British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D．The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
9．The author explains understatement by ______.
A．describing a process B．making comparisons
C．following time order D．using examples
10．According to the text, Mr. Bean’s humor mainly lies in ______.
A．his interesting dialogues
B．his unique body language and facial expressions
C．his silly and unpleasant behaviors
D．his ability to make fun of different classes of society
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．British Humor in Comedy B．Humor in Different Cultures
C．Understanding British Humor D．Developing Your Sense of Humor
