a. a famous magician b. a visit to china c. lucky chinese people d. thirty - eight shows b in many countries around the world may l is a holiday. labour day, or workers day, is aninternational holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do. during the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. in the united states and canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. these groups of people formed unions (团体). the union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资) , but many of them refused to accept their ideas. on may 1, 1886, men and women in the united states and canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight - hour day. in the city of chicago, several people died in fights with the police. over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every may l to honour workers everywhere. by the early twentieth century, the first of may was a national holiday in many countries. in the united states and canada, may l is not a holiday. north americans celebrate labour day on the first monday in september. today in the unites states, labour day is mostly about having fun. people enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. in many parts of the unites states, labour day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.54. people celebrate labour day to honour _. a. union leaders b. working people c. people who died in fights d. workers and their jobs55. in paragraph 2, the underlined word them refers to (所指) _ a. workers b. union leaders c. company directors d. policemen56. workers in usa and canada stopped work for _on may l, 1886. a. shorter work days b. higher salaries c. better workplaces d. an eight - hour working day c my topic is fashion, and to make my talk more lively, i have brought along five objects. fashion is important to all of us. now we are all wearing school uniforms. when we go home, what do we do? we change into other clothes. if we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. so my first object is this blouse. it looks beautiful, doesnt it? it is my most expensive piece of clothing, and i love it. it costs over $ 600. you may say that it is too expensive, but luckily i can pay for it. the more you spend, the better the quality is. so you see, fashion is quite important to me, i admit it. however, im not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. last summer, my parents took us both to london. they wanted to show us some fashion sights. but my brother gary did not enjoy the old buildings. he just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping malls, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! for him, fashion was more important than culture. these are the trousers he bought. were they worth the cost of a trip to london to buy these? i dont think so. i think it was a waste, of time and money. we must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. as an example, i have brought this blonde wig (假发) to show you. do you like it? it belongs to one of my mothers friends. she told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. but a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.57. what is the writer doing at the moment?
