　　I have been very fortunate to travel extensively throughout the world while still young.Based on my experience，I recommend every young person to get out of their hometown and see what's out there.Here are several ways that traveling has changed me forever.

　　1．________

　　Unfortunately，the area I grew up in didn't have much diversity.Everyone looked and acted basically the same.When I traveled，I learned about other cultures and enriched my life by developing friendships with people who were nothing like me，but were exactly what I needed.This taught me to embrace，not to fear，the experiences and the relationships that were outside my comfort zone.It also taught me the importance of communication skills.

　　2．________

　　The older I become，the more I realize I actually know very little about life.Traveling sometimes puts you in tough situations.You see that the world is so much bigger than your perspective on it.You soon realize the world doesn't circle around you.You learn that you really weren't the big fish in the ocean，but just a tiny minnow in a pothole.

　　3．________

　　Traveling makes you realize you can do things you never thought possible.For example，I have always enjoyed driving on the right side of nicely paved roads of the U．S.But here，in West Indies，I was thrown into driving on the left side of the road on twisty mountain passes down broken roads that aren't much bigger than a one－lane driveway.No pressure！Yets.Conquering this fear helped me learn that I could adapt to more than I felt I was capable of conquering.

　　4．________

　　When you travel，you learn how much you truly have that you take for granted.Many people live in poverty that is unbelievable to those who have never walked their streets and heard their stories.Watching the wars and famines(饑荒) on the news takes on a whole new meaning when you have a personal connection with the people there.You lose the cold and self－centered attitude towards all those misfortunes.And，it pushes you to help others and give back.

　　5．________

　　I never liked history in school.Just reading the stories in books seemed so boring to me.However，when I visited the Palace of Versailles in France，amazed at the architecture of churches in Africa，climbed the ruins of castles in Ireland，and walked the halls of the Louvre，I couldn't help but get a new appreciation for history.Traveling makes history come alive.The stories are no longer pictures in a book，but vivid memories you remember much longer than you could study in school.

　　F．Time for prayers and paying back

　　When it comes to Thanksgiving，turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind.It's the right picture，but it's not complete.Celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year，Nov.28 this year，Thanksgiving Day is about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much fervor and maintain many traditional customs.Here we introduce a few of the rituals Americans typically follow on this day.

　　1．________

　　Thanksgiving Day has been associated with communal prayers in church and in homes for centuries.Attending church services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day.The churches provide worship services and organize special events for the occasion.Before Thanksgiving meals，some families gather together and thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon them in the form of friends and family.Some people also do voluntary community work on this day，as a way of contribution.

　　2．________

　　Like China's Spring Festival，preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long－standing tradition of Thanksgiving.Distances don't really matter as relatives return home to be with their family

　　Undoubtedly，turkey is the main course of Thanksgiving dinner.Though there is no evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner，most agree that the dinner would be incomplete without it.Other dishes typically found on dinner tables in almost every house are pumpkin pies，corn，fall vegetables，olives，cranberry sauce，stuffing and mashed potatoes.At the meal，many families observe the ritual of taking turns to express what each member is thankful for.

　　3．________

　　While feasts make Thanksgiving a festival for individual families，parades make it a carnival for the whole nation.Various parades are held in many cities to honor Thanksgiving.One of the largest is New York's Thanksgiving Day Parade，which is currently called Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.Started in 1924，more than 2 million people attend the parade every year.

　　Important features of the parade are themed floats，scenes from Broadway plays，large balloons of cartoon characters and TV personalities，and high school marching bands.The parade traditionally ends with a Santa Claus float，which marks the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season.

　　4．________

　　After－dinner rituals are just as important as the meal itself－dinner ritual is more important than the football game.The US' National Football League has played a special game on Thanksgiving every year since its creation in 1920 (with the exception of 1939－1944 due to World War II)．It's referred to as the Thanksgiving Classic，and thousands of fans watch it with popcorn and chips in hand，either in stadiums or on television.

　　In 1863，a reporter jokingly said，“Thanksgiving is a holiday granted by the Nation to see a game of football.” It's absolutely true.

　　5．________

　　While Chinese citizens enjoy an online shopping spree on Nov 11，Americans flock to physical stores just after Thanksgiving.The Friday after Thanksgiving Day is famously known as “Black Friday” because of the standard accounting practice of writing profits in black.

　　Many employers give their employees the day off as part of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend，so retailers seize the opportunity to offer discounts and put items on sale.Hundreds of thousands of people take advantage of the opportunity to hunt for bargains.The sight of people waiting in long lines for shops to open on the morning after Thanksgiving Day is quite normal.
