Thanksgiving Day dates back to the days of the early New England colonists (殖民者) who were having difficulty living in New Land.

In fall, the Indians and the colonists gathered for a feast to honor their friendship.

Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a self effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory "trick" works the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness(心不在焉). Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when "trick" of our memory can cause us great trouble.
57. If you want to have a good memory, ________.
A. you should force yourself to remember things
B. you should make a self effort of practice and exercise
C. you should never stop learning
D. you should try hard to remember things

A. we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors
B. we don't want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors
C. we will never get rid of listening to new stories about absent-mindedness

Dear Mr. Brown,
I'm safely back home now. Thank you very much for all the kindness I got from you during my stay at your home. Hope everything is fine with you there.
Now I wonder whether I could ask you a favour. When I came back, I suddenly realized that I had left my English Chinese dictionary behind at your home. It is a precious gift from my Australian teacher. Would you please be so kind as to send it back to me? I'll pay for the postage. The dictionary must be on the bookshelf in the bedroom. It is one with a red cover.
Thanks and all the best.
Yours,
Lihua
