the history of labor day
"labor day differs in every essential from the other holidays of the year in any country," said samuel gompers, founder and longtime president of
the american federation of labor. "all other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man\'s prowess over man, of
strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. labor day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation."
labor day, the first monday in september, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of american workers. it constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.
founder of labor day
more than 100 years after the first labor day observance, there is
still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
some records show that peter j. mcguire, general secretary of the brotherhood of carpenters and joiners and a co-founder of the american
federation of labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from
rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
but peter mcguire\'s place in labor day history has not gone unchallenged. many believe that matthew maguire, a machinist, not peter mcguire, founded the holiday. recent research seems to support the contention that matthew maguire, later the secretary of local 344 of the international association of machinists in paterson, n.j., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the central labor union in new york. what is clear is
that the central labor union adopted a labor day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
the first labor day
the first labor day holiday was celebrated on tuesday, september 5, 1882, in new york city, in accordance with the plans of the central labor union. the central labor union held its second labor day holiday just a year later, on september 5, l883.
in l884 the first monday in september was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the central labor union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of new york and celebrate a "workingmen\'s holiday" on that date. the idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in l885 labor day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
labor day legislation
through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to labor day. the first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. from them developed the movement to secure state legislation.
the first state bill was introduced into the new york legislature, but the
first to become law was passed by oregon on february 2l, l887. during the year four more states -- colorado, massachusetts, new jersey, and new york --
created the labor day holiday by legislative enactment. by the end of the decade connecticut, nebraska, and pennsylvania had followed suit. by 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on june 28 of
that year, congress passed an act making the first monday in september of each year a legal holiday in the district of columbia and the territories.
a nationwide holiday
the form that the observance and celebration of labor day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday -- a street parade to
exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. this became the pattern for the celebrations of labor day. speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. still later, by a resolution of the american federation of labor convention of 1909, the sunday preceding labor day was adopted as labor sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.
the character of the labor day celebration has undergone a change in recent years, especially in large industrial centers where mass displays and huge parades have proved a problem. this change, however, is more a shift in emphasis and medium of expression. labor day addresses by leading union officials, industrialists, educators, clerics and government officials are
given wide coverage in newspapers, radio and television.
the vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. it is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on labor day to the creator of so much of the nation\'s strength, freedom, and
leadership -- the american worker.
labor\'s day is on may 1st. labor\'s day is an international day for workers. working is glorious, and we should respect workers. the labor\'s day
is workers\' holiday and workers can enjoy themselves to their heart\'s content. many people choose to travel. and some others will go to the cinema. some will go to parks. and others will stay at home.
·第一篇：Youth 青春 Youth Youth is not a time of life; it's a state of mind; it's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it's a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it's the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for the adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than of grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear ,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

01 The Language of Music A pain ter hangs his or her fini shed pictures on a wall, and every one can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it un til it is performed. Professi on al sin gers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical stude nt n eeds to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dan cer. Sin gers practice breathi ng every day, as their vocal chords would be in adequate without con trolled muscular support. String players practice moving the fin gers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm —two entirely different moveme nts. Sin gers and in strume nts have to be able to get every n ote perfectly in tune. Pia ni sts are spared this particular an xiety, for the no tes are already there, wait ing for them, and it is the pia no tun er s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the stri ng have to be coaxed not to sound like percussi on, and each overlapp ing tone has to sound clear. This problem of gett ing clear texture is one that confronts stude nt con ductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at con trolli ng these sound with fanatical but selfless authority. Tech nique is of no use uni ess it is comb ined with musical kno wledge and un dersta nding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the Ianguage of music that they can enjoy perform ing works writte n in any cen tury. 02 Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Educati on is much more ope n-en ded and all-i nclusive tha n schooli ng. Educati on knows no boun ds. It can take place any where, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitche n or on a tractor. It in cludes both the formal lear ning that takes place in schools and the whole uni verse of in formal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, educati on quite ofte n produces surprises. A cha nee con versati on with a stra nger may lead a pers on to discover how little is known of other religi ons. People are en gaged in educati on from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an in tegral part of one Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be lear ned, whether they are the alphabet or an un dersta nding of the work ing of

关于圣诞节的英语手抄报资料 Christmas, annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25, and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well.

Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem, Israel), where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The official Christmas season, popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christm as, extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6. 圣诞节：2016年12月25日，农历十一月二十七日，星期天 圣诞节习俗中英文介绍 Christmas is one of the most beautiful holidays of all time.

有关圣诞节的英文资料 according to the bible, the holy book of christians, god decided to allow his only son, jesus christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand god better and learn to love god and each other more. "christmas"- meaning "celebration of christ "- honors the time when jesus was born to a young jewish woman mary. mary was engaged to be married to joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. because joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. but after he had considered this, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "do not be afraid to take mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the holy spirit. she will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 基督(jesus)是这天生的啊,基督出生在伯利恒(bethlehem) mary是他的妈妈.玛丽娅已和木匠约瑟夫订婚。可是，在他们同居之前，约瑟夫发现玛丽娅已怀孕。因为约瑟夫是个正派的人，又不想把这件事说出去让她丢脸，所以他想悄悄地和她分手。他正在考虑这事时，上帝的天使出现在他的梦中，对他说，“不要嘀咕了，把玛丽娅娶回家。她怀的孩子来自圣灵。她将生下个男孩子，你们给孩子起名叫耶稣，因为他将从罪恶中拯救人们。”

XX关于圣诞节英语手抄报内容资料 圣诞节资料 圣诞节是西方最重要的节日。“圣诞节 Christmas”原是“基督弥撒 Christmass”的缩写。传说记载，12月25日是耶稣的生日，在这一天，世界各地的天主教会都要举行弥撒纪念耶稣的生日。 而如今，圣诞节已经从一个宗教节日变成一个世界性的大众节日。人们在节日期间互相祝福，期盼欢乐的新年来临。圣诞节使得这个寒冷的冬日增添了一股暖意，也拉开了年底holiday season 的序幕。 但是你知道关于圣诞节的英语表述都有些什么吗? 让我们先来看一下跟圣诞有关的英语单词与短语: Christmas Eve：平安夜，也就是圣诞节的前一天。每年的12月24日。这跟我们的大年夜有点相似(New Year's Eve)。 Christmas Day：圣诞节当天，每年的12月25日。相当于中国的大年初一。Everybody goes for various parties to celebrate the festival on Christmas day.(在圣诞节那天，大家都去参加各种各样的派对来庆祝节日。) Boxing Day：圣诞节后的第一个工作日，即每年的12月26日，意即“重拳出击的那一天”。
尤其值得注意的是，在西方，还有一个Christmas season。它是指12月24日至翌年1月6日，我们称之为“圣诞节节期”。也就是经常说的holiday season，指的是一整段日子。 Christmas gift或者Christmas present：这两个词都可以表示圣诞礼物。我们经常会说：Here is a Christmas gift for you. 或者：I have a present for your Christmas Day.即表示要送对方圣诞礼物的意思。 Santa Claus：圣诞老人。他赶着驯鹿，拉着装满礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。 Bethlehem：伯利恒。耶路撒冷南方六英里一市镇，传说为耶稣诞生地。 Christmas tree：圣诞树。与之相关的还有Christmas decorations(圣诞装饰物);Christmas wreath或者Christmas garland(圣诞花环);Christmas crafts(圣诞工艺品)。这些美丽的装点都使得圣诞节变得熠熠生辉。 Christmas Waits：报佳音的人。圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教会组织一些圣诗班(或由信徒自发地组成)挨门挨户地在门口或窗下唱圣诞颂歌，叫作“报佳音”，意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。“报佳音”的人称为Christmas Waits，这项活动往往
