　　英语四级听力美文第35篇:The History of Thanksgiving Day

　　In the United States,the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On this day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving isusually a family day,celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions. The first AmericanThanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621.In 17th century, a group of Pilgrimsleft England to explore the New World. It was in September of 1620 when their ship called the “Mayflower” left port with 102 men, women, and children on board.

　　They landed in Province town harbor after 65 days at sea.The Pilgrims were poorly trained andpoorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness.During their first winter in the new land, they suffered tremendously.Poor food, hard work, infectious diseases,and bitterly cold weatherkilled about half of them. By the end of this terrible first winter,only about 50 remained alive.

　　One spring morning in 1621,an Indian walked into the little village of Plymouth and introducedhimself in a friendly way.Later, he brought the Indian chief, Massasoit, who gave gifts to thepeople and offered assistance.The Indians of Massasoit’s tribe taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow food.They taught the Pilgrims to use fish for fertilizer in planting corn, pumpkins, and beans.Because of this help from the Indians,the Pilgrims had a good harvest. Governor William Bradford was following an ancient tradition when, in the fall of 1621, heissued a proclamation establishing a day of thanksgiving to God.The governor also decided touse this religious occasion to strengthen the bond of friendship between the Pilgrims and theirIndian neighbors. So he invited Chief Massasoit and his braves to share the Thanksgiving feast. The Indians gladly accepted and sent five deer ahead.The Pilgrim men went hunting andreturned with turkey and other wild game.The women of Plymouth prepared delicious dishesfrom corn, cranberries, squash and pumpkins.
