感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年， 著名的“五月花号”船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害 的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天 ，他们遇到了难以想像的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬 天过后，活下来的移民只剩50来人。基于“来者是客” 的信念与习俗，印第安人给这些移民送来了生活必需品 ，并且教导他们狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜等等生存 方法。在印第安人的帮助下，来自欧陆的新移民逐渐习 惯了在当地的生存方式。在欢庆丰收的日子，欧陆新移 民邀请印第安人一同感谢上天的赐予。许多人认为，美 国第一个感恩节就是印第安人与新移民第一次齐聚感谢 上天赐予的那一天。

南北战争，又称美国内战（American Civil War）， 是美国历史上一场大规模的内战，参战双方为北方资 产阶级领导下的美利坚合众国（简称联邦）和南方种 植场奴隶主领导下的美利坚联盟国（简称邦联）。这 场战争的起因为美国南部十一州以亚伯拉罕•林肯就任 总统为由而陆续退出联邦，而林肯下令攻打“叛乱” 州。但根源却在于南方种植园经济体制制约了北方资 本主义的发展。此战不但改变了美国的政经情势，导 致奴隶制度在美国南方被最终废除，也对日后美国的 民间社会产生巨大的影响。

4. The Underground Railroad was an informal network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19thcentury black slaves in the United States to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists who were sympathetic to their cause. The term is also applied to the abolitionists who aided the fugitives. Other various routes led to Mexico or overseas. Created in the early 19th century, the Underground Railroad was at its height between 1850 and 1860. One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad".

综合英语4 Unit6 Text1 翻译
在法国的国庆日每年大约这个时候，随着独立日的临近，我都会从一个底层的抽屉拿出一面旧的美国国旗，它被折叠成方形放在那里，我承认，不是按规定折叠成的三角形。
这面国旗我已经保存了很久，每到7月4日总会把它挂出来。
在巴黎，它飘扬在一个在街上可以看到的在四楼的阳台上。
我从没看到任何人抬头看它一眼，但在我心目中，一位过路的法国人也会想起悬挂它的日期和理由。
我希望如此。
对我这个客居海外的家庭来说，这面旗帜也意义重大，部分是因为我们没有任何其他庆祝独立日的活动。
在巴黎的公寓，人们不搞烧烤野餐，我认识的定居在这里的大部分其他美国人都隐藏了这些表明他们血统的外在标记——或者他们夏季回国时会补上。
我们的孩子们这样认为悬挂国旗是件很棒的事情，而我喜欢这样做是因为这给我们一些时间来进行关于自己公民身份的家庭讨论。
我和我的妻子已经离开美国九年了，现在我们的两个孩子一个11岁，一个9岁，因此大部分美国历史都是他们从自己父母那里听说的东西——或者还没有听说的东西。
7月4日是这样一个日子，作为一名美国人，我会因为我们的孩子们对自己是谁都一无所知感到一阵不安，这促使我努力填补这个空白。
这时，我也常常转而思考在外国文化环境中养育孩子的代价与收获。
路易斯和亨利的法语都讲得很流利；他们的学校是用法语授课，而且他们大部分朋友也是法国人。
他们毫不费力甚至是无意识地在两种语言之间转换自如，很少混用，这当然是件很好的事情。
我们与自己的国家在地域上的分离对他们没有太大的影响。
我和我的妻子对我们的孩子没有受到影响每天都心存感激。
美国校园枪击案对我们的孩子们来说是个不错的经验教训，让他们了解到我们远离的社会的蠢行。
当然，我们也想让他们想起以身为美国人而感到自豪的原因，并试着告诉他们那意味着什么。
远在异国他乡，这不是一件很容易的事情，距离似乎不只是多少英里的问题。
有时，我想我们讲给他们听的故事在他们看来一定像是伊索（或拉封丹）寓言，没有固定地点和时间的神话。
American History -Culture class 美国历史和文化
The American revolution lasted for about seven years, and in 1783, the United States became independent, a young nation that consisted of a long string of farming communities spread along the East Coast
Few immigrants went South, but this is where slavery began. America found itself divided over the issue of slavery. This was part of the Southern way of life. The morality of slavery was an issue in the minds of ‘abolitionists’ in the 1850s. Abraham Lincoln won a political election but this was a threat to their way of life in the South, so many southerners decided to secede from the Union. Civil war broke out.
White Americans pushed westward for settlement and expansion. As a result, native Indian land was taken away and their culture destroyed.
You can see the portrayal of Indians in ‘cowboy and Indian films’, often as scary warriors riding on horses!

1.Paralysis： is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscles. Paralysis can be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area, if there is sensory damage as well as motor. Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. Drugs that interfere with nerve function, such as curare, can also cause paralysis. There are many known causes for paralysis. And perhaps more yet to be discovered.
