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 Year’s 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 you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s 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. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a _______ weekend almost once a month.A) 1-day B) 2-day C) 3-day D) 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from ________.A) Monday to Saturday B) Tuesday to SundayC) Thursday to Friday D) Tuesday to Friday3. Which statement is NOT true according to this passage?A) Only a few shops remain open on New Year’s Day._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 country ’s 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 couldn ’t 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) a law was passed B) the Equal Pay Act was passed C) they can vote D) they do the same jobs as men 3. Paragraph 3 gives examples of ________.

A) women were happy in the 19th century B) people thought that women were unhappy in the 19th centuryC) women were worse off than todayD) women were better off than today5.
