It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs. But do you know how it started? During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money.

The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries（工资）, but many of the bosses ________. On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day.

By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries. However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st 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.

It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs. But do you know how it started? During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money. Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions（工会）. The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries（工资）, but many of the bosses ________. On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries. However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st 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 it by having picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the United States, Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and students return to school the next day. 36．How long did people work a day in factories in the late 1880s?

D．By having a big ceremony. 36．D 37．A 38．B 39．D 40．C 【导语】本文介绍了劳动节的由来。 36．细节理解题。根据“During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money.”可知，在19世纪80年代末，人们在工厂一天工作14到16个小时。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries（工资）, but many of the bosses …”可知，工会领导人要求工厂老板缩短工作时间，提高工资，但许多老板肯定是拒绝了。故选A。 38．词句猜测题。根据“They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day.”可知，他们穿过城镇，应是迫使老板让他们一天工作8个小时。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据“Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions（工会）.”可知，在美国、加拿大，工人们建立了工会；根据“They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day.
