In many countries around the world May l is a holiday Labour Day or Workers Day is an international 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

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 doesn t 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 I m 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 don t 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 mother s 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 A He is selling some fashionable clothes B He is buying the coolest school uniforms C He is making a speech to the fellow students D He is travelling to London with his parents 58 According to the passage the author showed all these objects EXCEPT A the blonde wig B the expensive blouse C the cool trousers D the school uniform 59 What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph A Wigs were always popular in the past B People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs C Fashion is actually a business D Business often depends on the production of wigs

off the meter 计价器 For the next two hours we drove through the city She showed me the building where she had once worked the neighborhood where she had lived and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl Sometimes she d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness saying nothing At dawn she suddenly said I m tired Let s go now We drove in silence Lo the address she had given me How much do I owe you she asked Nothing I said You have to make a living she answered Oh there are other passengers I answered
