请哪位高手根据英语短文回答两个问题。

Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional of American holidays. The first thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the Pilgrim colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. It is a day of family reunion and it is customary to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are carnival parades for children. In other cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.

B befor the 17th century
问题2： thanksgicing day was originally_
A,a day to gice thanks to god
B,a day for family members to get together
我认为这两个都是选择A，可答案给的都是B，为什么？

Answer 1

1）根据短文不难找到第一题的答案The first thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621.
从历史，1601年至1700年的这一段期间被称为17世纪。所以第一题的正确答案应该是A。建议你再检查一遍正确答案。或者从老师那里确认下。

2）从短文中可以找到：After a year of great hardship, the Pilgrim colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. 你被误导了，所以A错误，thanksgiving day was to give thanks for their farvest. 只是在上帝面前做感谢而已。继续找， It is a day of family reunion and it is customary to invite friends to share the meal. 这是感恩节的纪念方，还包括很多活动。节日气氛跟中国的中秋节很相似，庆祝丰收，聚餐，节目等。很明显B正确。
