文章大意：本文主要讲述了感恩节要到了，到处弥漫着节日的气氛，我也想象着各种美食与美好。在感恩节前夕，爸爸召开了一个家庭会议，他说感恩节那天要去收容所帮忙，给无家可归的人过感恩节，这使我心情很低落。但是一天的经历下来，我体悟到给予比得到更重要，而且那个感恩节变成了一次难忘的经历。

1.句意：一切似乎都是那么完美。

wait等待；nervous紧张的；understand理解；thankful感谢的。根据上文Pictures of different pies, fruit and vegetables came into my mind. 各种各样的馅饼、水果和蔬菜的图片浮现在我的脑海里。可知这句话的意思是“我迫不及待了!”couldn't wait是固定搭配，意思是“等不及了”，故答案选A。

3.句意：他说我们需要去练习一下感恩。

creative有创造力的；nervous紧张的；powerful强大的；thankful感激的。根据上文The day before Thanksgiving, my dad called a family meeting. 感恩节的前一天，我爸爸召开了一次家庭会议。可知这句话的意思是“他说我们需要去练习一下感恩。”故答案选D。
