Most people like having a picnic. But what does the word mean? Where does it come from? What is a picnic?

For most people a picnic is a meal they eat outside the home, usually in a park, by a river, or even sitting in a car if the weather is cold and wet. At one time, however, (66)people had picnics at home at their own dinner tables.

The word picnic comes from the French words piquer which means “to pick” or “take” and pique-nipue which means “a small coin”. (67)Everyone who came to a picnic brought something to eat. They took or picked small pieces of food from each plate. They had a pique-nique. This kind of meal was popular in Britain, The British used the French words for it but changed the letters to make “picnic”. This is the way we write it today.

(68)In some countries there are big picnics on special days. Lots of people go to parks on these picnics. For most people, however, a picnic is a family party. The family puts some food and drink in a basket, gets in the car and goes off to a nice place in the country or by the sea.

Answer

1.People didn’t have picnics at home at their own dinner tables.

2.每个来参加野餐的人都会带些吃的。

3.Are there big picnics on special days in some countries?

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲述了很多人喜欢野餐，但是很少人知到“野餐”这两个字的来历。

1.根据文中people had picnics at home at their own dinner tables.本句是一个一般过去时态的陈述句，改为否定句要借助主动词did+not，来构成。根据题意可知答案为People didn’t have picnics at home at their own dinner tables.

2.Everyone who came to a picnic brought something to eat.对句子的分析who came to a picnic在这里是定语从句，修饰Everyone意思是来参加野餐的每一个人；something to eat.表示一些吃的东西。故填每个来参加野餐的人都会带些吃的。

3.Are there big picnics on special days in some countries?
