A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting at a crossroad in the city of Khon Kaen in Thailand as if waiting for someone.

On the last Monday in May, people in the United States celebrate Memorial Day. This federal holiday honors members of the American military who died at war. Schools and government offices close. Most people in the US have this day off from work. People celebrate Memorial Day with outdoor parades.
Most Americans consider it the start of summer though the season really begins in June. With so many people off work, Memorial Day has also become a popular shopping day. However, on most occasions Memorial Day is a serious and even sorrowful holiday. Those who have lost family members at war visit burial sites to decorate the graves. They place flowers, wreaths and US flags on the graves.
Memorial Day comes from a tradition that began after the American Civil War called Decoration Day. The Civil War was a very dark time in the US history. Historians have long thought that about 620,000 soldiers died in the fighting. However, new research suggests that the dead numbered about 750,000.
In 1868, about 5,000 people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery on the edge of Washington, D.C. They decorated more than 10,000 graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. They called it Decoration Day.
The tradition spread to other areas of the country. In 1873, New York State called it Memorial Day and was the first to make it a legal holiday. Other states followed, but not all. Some southern states had (and still have) separate celebrations that honor only dead Confederate soldiers.
After World War Ⅰ ended in 1918, Memorial Day became a day to honor all American soldiers killed at war. In 1971, Congress passed a law making it an official federal holiday all over America.
5.What's the purpose of Memorial Day in America
A.To mark the start of summer.
B.To let people enjoy themselves.
C.To show respect for dead soldiers.
D.To establish a holiday to encourage soldiers.
6.What's the atmosphere of American Memorial Day like on most occasions
A.Sad. B.Casual.
C.Pleasant. D.Relaxing.
7.When did Memorial Day become a legal holiday throughout the US
A.In 1971. B.In 1873.
C.In 1918. D.In 1868.
8.What is the best title for the text
A.Celebration Activities of Memorial Day in the US
B.The Prospect of American Memorial Day
C.Members Honored on American Memorial Day
D.The Evolution of Memorial Day in the US
