32．（5分）In many countries around the world，May 1st is a holiday which is called Labor Day or

Workers' Day．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 he 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．

33．（5分）People send birthday greetings by using cards in both eastern and western countries．It

is not known when and where exactly the tradition of sending birthday cards began．It is

believed that it began in England in the early nineteenth century．In those days people sent

birthday cards when they couldn't wish somebody a happy birthday in person．

In 1840 the first stamp was used in Britain and sending birthday cards became easier，cheaper and more popular．The development of color printing processes（工艺流程）in the

1930s also helped to increase sales of birthday cards．

Today cards are often given with a present， even when people can express their wishes

face to face． In recent times e﹣cards have also become popular． Many people are starting to

use e﹣cards instead of traditional cards because they are free， environmentally friendly and

easy to arrive． So will e﹣cards take place of paper cards completely in ten or twenty years？

Probably not． For example， for kids and old people， they don't use e﹣cads very often．

If our birthday is coming soon， do you wish that at least one person could congratulate

you with a beautiful card then？
