Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table, and then
before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.
The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.

apart from除了
根据上下文可与except和besides替换。
civil rights公民的权力

new/ early/ late arrivals
一、except与except for区别
(1) 在意义上的区别
except主要用来谈论同类的东西，而except for则主要用来谈论不同类的东西,在说明情况后作细节上的修正,有时含有惋惜之意。
He gets up early everyday _________ Sunday.
The room was very cold and, _________Jack, entirely empty.
这个房间很阴冷，而且除了杰克，完全是空荡荡的。
Nobody like him, _______ his mother. 除了他妈妈，没有人喜欢他.
His novel is good ________ a few spelling mistakes.
We had a pleasant time, _________ the weather.
except
except for
except
except for
except for
(2) 用于句首时的区别此时只用except for，不用except。如：
_________ Jim, everyone went there. 除吉姆外，大家都去了。
Except for
(3) 两者可以互换的场合
当用于all, every, no, everything, anybody, nobody, nowhere, whole等表示概括性的词语后面时，两者可互换。如：
Except for(=except) John, the whole class passed the test.全班同学除约翰外，全都通过了考试。(可互换)
You couldn’t hear anything except (for) the noise of Louise typing. 除了路易丝打字的声音外，你什么也听不到。（可互换）
但是下面一句要用except for，因为其前没有上面提到的概括性的词语：
The house was quiet except for the noise of Louise typing. 除了路易丝打字的声音外，房里安安静静的。
二、 besides 表示一种累加的除外关系，意思是“除了什么之外，还有……”.虽然含有“除了”之意，但是重点是“还有”，所以 besides 后面的名词也是包括其中的。强调'除此之外，还包括'
_________ his mother, all his family went to see the movie.
全家人包过妈妈都去看了电影。
_________his mother, all his family went to see the movie.
除了他的妈妈，全家人去看了这个电影。
_________ me, everyone is tired.
译为：除了我很累之外,大家都很累。即我和大家都很累。
_________ me, everyone is tired.
翻译为：除了我之外，所有人都累了。即只有我不累。
