M: The jazz musician s of the 1920＇s are responsible for the name. When they played a concert in a big city, they called that city ＂an apple＂. Of course New York was the biggest city in the country and the best place for a jazz concert. So the musicians called it ＂The Big Apple＂.

M: I know. But what can I do now?
W: Actually, there is something you can do. I heard that there's a weather hotline you can call in the morning that will tell you the temperature for the day.
M: Yes. I think I've heard of that hotline.

On the fourth Thursday of November every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our Blessings.
Legend has it that the first English settlers in Massachusetts started the custom. According to the story, the Pilgrims---as they are called ---gave thanks for having survived the terrible winter of 1621 and for having harvested their first summer crop. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties of the land.
The traditional foods of the big Thanksgiving Day meal include roast turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and Indian bread pudding.
Since the day is set aside for giving thanks, it has also become a traditional family day. Large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special day.

16. Who first started the custom according to legend?

How did the first people on earth communicate with each other? They didn't talk to each other. They didn't use words at all. They probably used signs or pointed to things they wanted. For example, perhaps they rebbed their stomachs to show that they were hungry. These early people had thoughts and ideas, but they didn't communicate them in words.
Nobody knows for certain when people first began to use words, but according to some scientists language may be about one million years old. What were the first words in the human vocabulary? They probably named things that were common and important. Perhaps the first words were short, simple sounds for things that humans saw or touched such as the sun, the moon, a tree, a stone, rain, water, and so on. Words for basic human emotion such as love, dislike, fear, and pain were probably part of the earliest vocabulary.
