A

On　the　fourth　Thursday　of　each　November　is　Thanksgiving　Day.　The　writer　O.　Henry　called　it　the　one　day　that　is　purely　American.　Thanksgiving　is　not　a　religious　holiday.　But　it　has　spiritual　meaning.　Some　Americans　attend　religious　services　on　the　day　before　Thanksgiving，

1 on　Thanksgiving　morning.　Others　travel　long　distances　to　be　with　their　families.　They　have　a　large　dinner，　which　is　the　main　part　of　the　celebration.

For　many　Americans，　Thanksgiving　is　the　only　time　when　all　members　of　a　family　gather　together.　The　holiday　is　a　time　of　family　reunion.

Thanksgiving　week　is　generally　one　of　the　busiest　travel　times　of　the　year.　Many　Americans　who　usually　visit　family　and　friends　by　plane　are　driving　instead　this　week.　Some　mental-health　experts　say　the　attacks　have　frightened　people.　They　say　people　feel　safer　and　happier　close　to　home.

More　than　any　other　holiday，Thanksgiving　is　a　celebration　of　family　and　home.　Many　people　say　that　this　year　they　are　especially　thankful　for　their　families　and　friends　and　the　good　things　in　their　lives.　On　Thanksgiving，　people　enjoy　a　long　day　of　cooking，　eating　and　talking.　The　traditional　meal　almost　always　includes　a　turkey　with　a　bread　mixture　cooked　inside.

Other　traditional　Thanksgiving　foods　served　with　turkey　are　sweet　potatoes，　cranberries　and　pumpkin　pie.　Stores　are　said　to　sell　more　food　at　Thanksgiving　than　at　any　other　time　of　the　year.　And　many　people　eat　more　food　at　Thanksgiving　than　at　any　other　time　of　the　year.

Over　the　years，　Americans　have　added　new　traditions　to　their　Thanksgiving　celebration.　For　example，　a　number　of　professional　and　university　football　games　are　played　on　Thanksgiving　Day.　Some　of　the　games　are　broadcasted　on　national　television.

B

First　of　all，　the　making　method　of　Chinese　food　is　different　from　Western-style　food.

In　Western-style　food　cookbook，　various　ingredients　such　as　the　flour，　sugar，　butter　etc.　have　been　indicated　several　grams，　several　spoons　or　several　cups，　even　the　size　of　the　egg　will　all　be　explained.　I　think　it　is　like　a　testing　laboratory.　So，　making　Western-style　food　is　easy，　so　long　as　you　according　to　cookbook　manual.

But　it　is　not　the　easy　thing　that　you　want　to　make　fine　Chinese　food.　Even　if　you　have　bought　the　cookbook，　it　is　not　so　easy.　Because　the　Chinese　cookbook　will　not　tell　you　several　grams　of　ingredient，　for　example　salt，　Chinese　cookbook　just　tell　you　appropriate　amount　of　salt，　don’t　tell　you　several　gram，　several　spoon　or　several　cup.　Why？　The　taste　of　people　who　live　in　different　places　is　different　in　China.　There　is　a　folk　adage　in　China　“south　sweet，　north　salty，　east　hot　and　west　sour”.　So，　a　good　cook　rely　on　experience　and　skill　when　cooks　in　China.

Second，　the　atmosphere　of　Chinese　food　is　different　from　Western-style　food　while　having　a　meal.

The　atmosphere　of　Western-style　food　is　particular　about　scenery.　The　good　restaurant　is　generally　built　in　the　beautiful　mountaintop，　park　or　the　revolving　dining-room　of　the　city　center　high　building.　So　Western-style　food　is　“Eat　the　scenery”　but　not　“Eat　taste”.

The　atmosphere　of　Chinese　food　is　particular　about　taste　and　participation.　中餐以美味征服世界.There　is　a　folk　adage　in　China　“If　I　want　to　conquer　your　heart，　I　will　conquer　your　stomach　first”.　Everybody　sits　around　table　while 9 Chinese　food，　everybody　is　eating　the　dish　in　the　same　plate，　the　hospitable　host　will　also　nip　the　dish　into　your　bowl，　it　is　so　friendly.　The　friendship　between　person　and　person　is　deeper　after　a　meal.

Third，　the　way　that　Chinese　and　western　praise　food　is　different.

Chinese　praise　food，　will　generally　say：　“Your　dish　is　cooked　very　excellently，　has　caught　up　with　the　level　of　the　restaurant”；but　western　praise　food，　will　say　just　like　what　the　home　make.
