1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞celebrate Thanksgiving in America ,可回原文定位于第一段第二句。根據(jù)"In the United States,it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year."可知，在美國(guó)，感恩節(jié)是在十一月的第四個(gè)星期四。

2. A詞義猜測(cè)題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞gratitude, 可回原文定位于第一段第四句。根據(jù)"It is associated with giving thanks to the God."可以判斷最初，人們因?yàn)樗麄儷@得的豐收而表達(dá)感激之情.結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，gratitude的意思是"感激"。

3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵同The most important part of the Thanksgiving celebration,可回原文定位于第二段第一句。根據(jù)"The most important part of the celebration is the dinner which includes the customary turkey served with sauce and pumpkins."可知，感恩節(jié)慶�；顒�(dòng)最重要的部分是吃有火雞的大餐。

D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT true,可回原文定位于相關(guān)段落。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句"Thanksgiving is also a paid holiday for most workers."可知,感恩節(jié)假期大部分工人是有工資的，因此D項(xiàng)表述"感恩節(jié)假期大部分工人沒(méi)有工資"是錯(cuò)誤的。根據(jù)第一段第四句"It is associated with giving thanks to the God."可知，感恩節(jié)與感謝上帝有關(guān)，排除C:根據(jù)第一段第二、三句知，在美國(guó)和加拿大人們慶祝感恩&的時(shí)間是不同的，排除B;根據(jù)第二段最后一句”For example,restaurants lake advamagf of the holiday lo sell turkey dinners."可知，在感恩節(jié)假期，飯店會(huì)賣(mài)有火雞的大餐，排除A。

 The human brain weighs about 1. 4 kilograms,but it can hold much more information than most computers. However,there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given,but humans often do. No one remembers everything and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

  ◆Try to use new information immediately. For example,if you meet someone who says "Hi!I'm Carlos."，don't just say "Hello". Repeat the person's name and say "         ”.

  ◆Break a big number into small parts. For example,it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts―109/244/153,it will become easier.

  ◆Write down what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer,especially when memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

  ◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind,it will become easier to remember. For example,before you go to sleep,it's a good idea to review the new things you've learned that day.

  ◆Discuss with friends. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong,and it will lead to the right answer.

  ◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory will get better if they use it often.

  All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them,you are certain to improve your memory.
