http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201302/201302010928003085382.mp3Many Americans celebrated Halloweenby placing pumpkins outside their homes.A Halloween tradition is to cut a face into the big, round squash.
Pumpkins are also an important part of the Thanksgiving holiday in late November.Tradition says early settlers ate pumpkin pie, or something similar to it, with the Native Americans during the first celebration.
Pumpkins are members of the gourd family.They are related to melons, cucumbers and squashes.They are, like all of their relatives, fruit, not vegetables.Pumpkins have firm flesh, seeds in the center and a shell that is usually orange.And they contain more vitamin A than almost any other fruit.
Pumpkins have been grown for thousands of years in North and Central America.They grow on vines or bushes.
