听力原文：Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in America. Every family comes to

听力原文： Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in America. Every family comes together at their parents' house, and talks about their lives. They also have a big party. Usually, they cook a big turkey and many side dishes such as pumpkin pie. And they have a nice holiday with their family.

It originated in the 1600's. The Pilgrims, who were a group of people from England, arrived in America and some Indians helped them. The Indians taught them how to plant grain such as corn, vegetables and pumpkins. So, after that, the Pilgrims had a party for their Indian friends every year.

During this holiday, many shops have promotions and big sales. The day after Thanksgiving Day, which is called "Black Friday", almost every store displays their cheapest prices. Almost every American goes shopping to catch the cheapest goods before others. It should be described as a "Shopping War". If you wait and go shopping on Sunday, it will be too late! You won't be able to buy many things, because many goods will be sold out already. But, sometimes window shopping is a nice experience on Thanksgiving holiday.

In Korea, there is a very similar holiday, which is called "Chu-suk". This holiday also expresses thankfulness for ancestors. People will give thanks for the plentiful harvest that year. Almost all Koreans come together with their family, see relatives who live far away and have an ancestor-memorial service with many kinds of food. Chu-suk is almost the same as Thanksgiving Day.

Every human seems to feel thankfulness for their ancestors, and once a year, they celebrate their good harvest and health. The styles of these two holidays are a little different but the feelings and emotions are the same.

(33)

A．England.

B．Korea.

C．France.

D．America.

听力原文： Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good child memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both work and our three children are busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we try setting three fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son has the idea that every one told me his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while, the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see these evenings together as interesting, and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other's problems. After a couple of months, anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel that we have been able to build much stronger relations within the family than we had before

How many people are there in the woman's family？
