First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.

　　But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.

　　Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.

　　36. The purpose of the text is to ___.

　　A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day

　　B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Day

　　C. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Day

　　D. introduce the American Thanksgiving Day

　　37. On Thanksgiving Day the author’s family do the following except ___.

　　A. watching a movie

　　B. making visits

　　C. having a big meal

　　D. watching football

　　38. Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?
