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 such as New Years Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their families. Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depend on how long youve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and its difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more you may get for a vacation.1.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century women seemed to have had almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign contracts. Their marriages were arranged by their parents, and once they were married they could not own property. Most of the time they were kept at home, and even when they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with this situation. Today the position is quite different. Women can now vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970 a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to equal pay with men for work of equal value. Yet despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great difference between men and women. Many employers maybe even the majority seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act, and the average working women is likely to earn only about half what a man earns for the same job. Most women who do work still do unskilled jobs, while only a small proportion of the countrys workers, possibly one third, are in fact women. There is also great inequality in education. Only a quarter of all university students are women, and, at present boys schools are undoubtedly much better than girls schools.1. Which of the following couldnt a woman probably be in the 19th century? A) A nurse. B) A manager. C) A shop-keeper. D) A land-lady.2. Women have the right to equal pay because _.

A) women should be treated equally as men B) women should not do unskilled jobs C) women should not be nurses D) women should not go to school（三） ACDBB At Harton College an English boarding school for boys there are many rules.

They come to watch the “Indy 500.” This 500-mile race is the most famous of all auto races. The motor race track is on the spot where an old farm once stood. A man named Carl Fisher bought the land in 1909. The car was a new invention at that time. Hardly anyone took the idea of car racing seriously. Yet Fisher pushed ahead with his plan to build a track. In two years the track was finished. It took 450 workers, 300 mules, and seven giant steamrollers to do the job. First, the ground was made perfectly flat. Then gravel was spread over the two-and-a-half-mile track. The top layer was made of crushed stone and tar. Grandstands to hold 15,000 people were build. The first races at the track were a disaster.
