Read the following passage about Thanksgiving and the answer the questions below. There could be more than one choice for each question.
Today’s Thanksgiving holiday was inspired by a harvest festival in Plymouth, Massachusetts, almost 400 years ago. The small group of colonists, residents of the second permanent English settlement in the New World, had very little by today’s standards, but they were thankful for receiving what they valued most—a good harvest and the freedom to live and worship as they pleased.
The Plymouth colonists began their journey to America in September of 1620 on a ship called the Mayflower. Some of the passengers were members of a persecuted religious sect. They were called Separatists because they had separated from the Church of England in order to practice their religion in ways they considered closer to the message of the Bible. In search of greater religious freedom, some members of this group went to live in Holland for several years, but they were unhappy there, too. So they made plans to come to America, where they would be free to live as they chose. They returned to England to prepare for the journey. Many years later, the Separatists came to be called Pilgrims because of their travels in search of religious freedom. Today, Americans commonly refer to all of the Plymouth residents as Pilgrims, but only about half of the colonists were Separatists. The others came to America, not for religious reasons, but for adventure or new opportunity.
The journey to the New World was paid for by English businessmen in return for furs and other goods to be sent back to England from the new colony. The Mayflower was very crowded with 102 passengers (men, women, and children), about 25 sailors, two dogs and probably some chickens, cats, and pigs. At times, the trip was very rough. Yet, during the voyage, the travelers suffered only one death. Since there was also one birth aboard ship, the Mayflower was still carrying 102 passengers when, after 65 days at sea, it landed in Provincetown Harbor, on the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Mayflower passengers had planned to settle near Jamestown, Virginia, where the first permanent English colony in America had been established in 1607. However, winds pushed the Mayflower farther north, where the climate was much colder.
The Pilgrim leaders knew that in order to survive, every society needed rules for proper behavior, so 41 men aboard the Mayflower held a meeting. They chose their first governor and signed the Mayflower Compact, an agreement to make laws for their colony and to obey them. It was the first formal agreement for self-government in America.
For about a month, the Pilgrims lived aboard ship and sent out a few men to explore the coastline at Plymouth, the men found a harbor with some cleared land and fresh water. The men went back to the Mayflower and reported their discovery. A few days later the Mayflower sailed across Cape Cod Bay to Plymouth Harbor. According to a traditional story, when the Mayflower passengers came ashore in their small boat, they landed on a large rock later named Plymouth Rack. In Plymouth, that rock is still on display for tourists to see.
The Pilgrims were not trained and equipped to cope with life in the wilderness. During their first winter, they suffered tremendously. Diseases, cold weather, and insufficient food killed about half of them. Still, from this small group of about 50 colonists there are thousands of descendants alive today. Among them is former American president George Bush.
One spring morning in 1621, a friendly Native American walked into the little village of Plymouth and introduced himself. Later he brought the chief (Massasoit). The colonists gave gifts to their new friends. The members of Massasoit’s tribe taught the Pilgrims how to hunt and fish, how to plant pumpkins, beans, and corn, and how to fertilize the corn with fish. Because of this help, that fall the colonists had a good harvest. To celebrate, they decided to have a harvest festival Massasoit and about 90 of his men came to share the celebration.
The Indians sent hunters out to bring back deer meat for the feast. Some of the Pilgrim men also went hunting and returned with wild birds such as ducks, geese, and turkeys. The women of Plymouth prepared dishes from corn, squash, and pumpkins. The meal was cooked and served out-of-doors. The holiday combined feasting and entertainment. The colonists performed a military display with their guns, and the Indians probably danced. The celebration lasted three days and was a great success.
