My teacher was then 59 years old. But her fellow teacher said that we were celebrating her 39th birthday! We were all surprised and puzzled.After the party I was told by the fellow teacher that American women have a special saying about birthdays. If a woman is over 40, or even if she is 80, her birthday is always the 39th. If she is in her thirties, her birthday will be the 29th. And in her twenties, its the 19th. They usually have their “real” birthday when they are below 20. This shows that American women, especially elderly women, are very sensitive about their ages. But my teacher always says, “We want to be younger,” so about the age of Western women, my advice is that if you dont know it, dont ask about it; if you really know it, dont mention it. 11.

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States include New Years Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day. In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families. Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.
