It represents a very important victory for laborers everywhereThe holiday is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers More than a century ago，workers were forced to deal with harsh conditionsThey were paid very little, and they often worked 10-to l2-hour daysMen, women and even small children were forced to work even when they were sickTired of long hours and dangerous conditions，workers began organizing themselves into labor unionsOn top of fighting for higher pay and shorter workdays，they also fought for the rights of childrenThe workers wanted employers to place limits on the age of their workers so that small children were not overworked or hurt in factories A New York City carpenter named Peter McGuire is credited for coming up with the idea for Labor DayIn 1872，after working many hours under poor conditions, McGuire rallied 100,000 workers to go on strikeThe workers marched through the streets of New York City，demanding a better work environmentMcGuire spent a decade fighting for workers rightsIn 1882，he proposed the idea to create a special holiday for workersOn Tuesday，September 5，1882more than 10,000 workers hit the streets of New York City for the first ever Labor Day paradeTwo years later the celebration was moved to the first Monday in SeptemberAnd in 1894，Congress passed a law making Labor Day a national holiday Americans celebrated the first Labor Day holiday with a parade，picnics and fireworksToday，many people hit the road to enjoy the last of their summer vacationOthers enjoy the long weekend with picnics，backyard barbecues or just rest and relaxationHowever you spend Labor Day，remember that the holiday is a time to pay tribute (致敬)to the workers who have made America what it is today61What do we know from Paragraph 1 ?

But it can still be your best friend foreverThats one of the surprising findings in a new research paper, “The Power of Money”，published in me journal Psychological Science Like any best friend forever，money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us，reduce our sense of social exclusion and even reduce lifes painful moments “I was surprised” says Katherine Vohs，one of the researchers and professor at the University of Minnesotas Carlson School of Management“The findings were surprising because no one had connected the meaning of money to painThe money wasnt buying the subjects more friends；it was only psychologically helpful.” In the research ,students were told they would be participating in a test of finger dexterity(敏捷度)One group was given some paper money to count，while the other group was given blank pieces of paperOnce the counting was complete, all the test subjects were asked to dip their fingers into bowls of water heated to 122 degreesroughly the temperature of a very hot bath Result? Those who had been counting money reported less pain than those who had notSubjects also were asked about their feelingsThose who handled actual money reported feeling stronger even 10 minutes after they put down the cash Combined with previous experiments，the findings confirmed what researchers have long doubted，that money acts as a general panacea(万能药)in the brain，giving us social self-confidence and reducing physical pain without having to spend a dime on aspirin But can we get the same effect by using credit cards? “No，credit cards do not have the same effect，” Vohs says“They are scary for most people，and they in fact represent debt m many ways”The findings could have an interesting effect in the business world, where recent trends have been to issue non-monetary rewards and bonuses instead of what was thought of as “cold, hard cash”66The underlined word “soothe” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“_” . Aencourage Bremind Ccalm Dtrust67Whats Katherine Vohss attitude towards the result of the study? AHe found it totally unexpected BHe had no doubt about it CHe thought it needed further experiments DHe thought it was not convincing68What do we know about the students involved in the study? AThey were divided into two groups according to their ages BOne group was given paper money while the other was given coins CThey were holding the money while dipping fingers into hot water DBoth groups were asked to dip fingers into hot water69We can 1earn from the passage that_ Athe effect of money can only last until we put it down Bmoney is both psychologically and socially helpful to us Cthe result of the research hasnt been confirmed（证实） by experts Dcredit cards have the same effect on us as money70The last paragraph suggests that_ Athe recent trend in the business world is to give cash as rewards Bemployers should give non-monetary rewards to employees Ccash is a better way to reward employees than credit cards Dmore and more employees prefer non-monetary rewards to cashDForty-two of the fifty American states offered some kind of public online learning this past school yearOne state，Michigan，now requires all students to have an online learning experience before they finish high schoolEven the idea of a school has changed since the rise of the Internet in the 1990s A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University says eighteen states have full-time virtual schoolsThere are no buildingsAll classes are online Florida started the first statewide public virtual school in the United States in 1997Today，the Florida Virtual School offers more man ninety courses56,000 students were enrolled as of DecemberAlmost sixty percent were femaleThe schools website says each student was enrolledin an average of two classes Florida Virtual School has now opened the Florida Virtual Global SchoolStudents in other countries pay for classesJanet Heiking teaches an English classShe lives in Indianapolis, IndianaHer students live as far away as Africa and JapanShe says they are taking her Advanced Placement class to prepare for attending an American collegeThey can earn college credits by passing the AP test So how good are virtual schools? Studies have shown mixed results, as a new report from Indiana University notesFor example, students at Florida Virtual School earned higher grades than those taking the same courses the traditional wayAnd they scored higher on a statewidetestBut virtual school students in Kansas and Colorado had lower test scores or performed at a lower level than traditional learnersStudies also find that virtual schools may not save much in operating costs Education experts say the mixed results suggest the need for more research to find the best ways to teach in virtual schoolsA1so, they say schools of education need to train more teachers to work in both real and virtual classrooms71A virtual school is one that_ Ais set up after the rise of the Internet Buses textbooks as a main teaching resource Cuses computer-based resources and has no teachers Dhas online classes and no real classrooms72The first statewide public virtual school in the USA was started in _ AFlorida BIndiana CMichigan DColorado73Florida Virtual School is open to _ Astudents in Indiana Bstudents only around the USA Cstudents acr
