Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job else where, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.
For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friend ship is possible.
The word "friend" can be applied to a wide range of relationships--to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant(知己).
Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except ______.
Some time ago, a store advertised rebuilt vacuum cleaners of a nationally known brand at the absurdly (荒谬地) low price of $ 12.50. Why was this done？ Surely the store could not【36】to sell good vacuum cleaners【37】this price. As a matter of fact, any customer who tried to buy one would find it was"【38】". He would be told that the one in the window was "the only one left" and had to remain on【39】, or that "it had been sold" before he entered the store.

In【43】the $12.50 vacuum cleaners, the manufacturer whose name was used went to【44】and obtained an order【45】the store to employ the brand name for that purpose.
Why did the managers of the manufacturing【46】go to such lengths to【47】this abuse (恶习) in advertising？ They realized that misrepresentation of their firm's name was sure to【48】public confidence in their products. The honest businessman wants to keep his customers【49】so that they will return to buy again and again. He builds good【50】by conducting his business on a【51】of trust and confidence.【52】, he wants other businessmen's advertising, as well as his own, to【53】the public's respect because he realizes that anything that【54】confidence in advertising tends to injure honest advertisers as well as the fraudulent (欺诈的)【55】. That is why businessmen have set up their own agencies to police advertising.

The traditional American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In that year a special feast was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colonists who had settled there had left England because they were denied of religious freedom. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean.
The ship that carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. They were assisted in learning to live in the land by the Indians who lived in the region. The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil.
When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving Celebration, they invited their neighbors, the Indians, to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude for the new life. They recalled the group of 102 men, women and children who left England. They remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts. They reflected on the 65 days journey that tested their strength.
The tradition of Thanksgiving Day is ______.
