30、as.But groups such as Episcopalians and Moravians honored the day with religious services and seasonal decorations. By mid-century,Christian groups began to ignore their religious diffrences over the meaning of Christmas and honored the day in special ways. Christmas became an important time for fam
31、ilies to celebrate at home.

36、no power in a square. You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.

37、 nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it.

41、ng, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us.

46、f the four quarters nursed it”以及最后一句话可以推测出答案： 【小题 4】细节查找题。根据文章最后一段中 : Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age.以及最后一句中的 but now 关键词，由此可知印第安人 的遭遇。尤其是孩子们艰辛的成长历程。 The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health.
