Labor Day, or Workers Day, is an international holiday that honors 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. The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher pays, but many of them dismissed the 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 1 to honor 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 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the United States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family.

The passengers were three animals and the balloon stayed in the air for about 15 minutes before hitting back to the ground. The first manned(载人的)flight was about 2 months later, with a balloon made by 2 French brothers. The balloon flew for a period of 20 minutes. Sailing through the sky in the balloon, high above buildings and trees, you cant feel or hear the wind because youre traveling in the same direction and at the same speed as it is.A hot air balloon has three main parts: the balloon, called an envelope; a basket, where passengers ride; and a burner system, which supplies the hot air. Most balloon envelopes are made of strong, lightweight nylon(尼龙). They are different in size and shape, but they have to be really, really big to lift even one person. Most weigh more than an adult man.The basket is usually made of wicker(柳条), which is strong but not too hard. It needs to bend a bit for a soft landing, just like a good jumper bends her legs instead of keeping them straight when she lands.The hot air balloon works on the theory that hot air rises faster than cooler air. When the burner system is turned on, it makes a noisy sound, but once the balloon is flying, the burner can be turned off. The air in the envelope will then cool, and the balloon will slowly go down unless the pilot starts the burner system again.To control a hot air balloon, a pilot adds hot air to it to go up or lets the air out to go down until he finds a wind blowing in the direction he wants to fly. But no matter which way the wind blows, the passengers have an amazing birds-eye view of the world.64. Who were the passengers on the first hot air balloon?65. Did the first manned balloon fly for 20 minutes?66. Why is the basket usually made of wicker?67. How does a pilot control the hot air balloon?68. What are the main points in this passage?答案:64. Three animals.65. Yes, it did.66. Because wicker is strong but not too hard.67. The pilot adds hot air to the balloon to go up or lets the air out to go down.68. The history of the hot air balloon, the main parts of it and how it works.八、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion(冠军).
