In the late 1860’s, industry in America grew rapidly. More factories meant more jobs, but working conditions were dangerous. Employees were forced to work as many as 16 hours a day in hot dirty rooms. Children of ten worked alongside adults. Wages were usually very low.
Workers tired to improved conditions by forming unions. One of the first important unions was the Knights of Labor wanted an 8-hour workday, high wages, and better working conditions. The union called for an end to the employment of children under age of 14.
Together with other unions, the Knights of Labor tried to make changes through collective bargaining(協商). Union leaders would meet with employers and talk. When collective bargaining failed, the unions resorted to strikes. When some strikes that the unions held turned violent, public opinion turned against them. Many members left the Knights of Labor, and by 1890 the union died out.
Other unions survived. The AFL, American Federation of Labor, was formed in 1881. It continued to push for the goals set by the Knights of Labor. However, most federal laws protecting workers and outlawing child labor were not passed until the 1930’s.

The CBS -- TV “National Drivers Test” showed that many U.S. drivers have a lot to learn. Here’s why:
CBS picked 1700 drivers to take the test in TV studios in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles. More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test. And the average score was the lowest passing mark 51 points out of a possible 80.
Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points. Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points. New York and Philadelphia drivers tied with 50 points --- 2 failing score. Drivers with 50 points or less were rated “poorly informed” by the judges.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict (有癮的人),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled (皺起來).” Today David wears casual clothes (休閑服) – khaki pants and a sports shirt – to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become and everyday thing,” said business expert Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee marale (state of spirit). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact (碰撞) on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
9. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ____.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt.
B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance.
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time.
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
10. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes.
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer woks for any company
11. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?
A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.
12. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
13. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned except____.
A. saving employees’ money
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ high spirit
D. making employees happier

Considered as a continuous body of fluid(流體 ), the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume（體積） of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere, where weather events take place, is roughly four times the volume of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form of vapor(蒸汽), some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? The answer is that rain-producing air masses are always moving, and as the driving air moves on, new damp air takes its place.
The basic source of most water vapor is the ocean. Evaporation(蒸發), vapor transport, and rainfall make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water to the sea. In the underground, flowing bodies of water send out some water directly into rivers and some directly to the sea.
14. What might have been discussed in the preceding paragraphs?
A. The ocean. B. The earth. C. The rainfall. D. The atmosphere.
15. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the atmosphere has a lot of water in it when it goes around
B. the water in the atmosphere is purer than that in the world’s ocean
C. the amount of water in the atmosphere is greater than that in the oceans in the world
D. the small amount of water in the atmosphere plays an important part in the rainfall on the earth
16. Which fact does this passage lead us to believe?
A. The volume of the atmosphere is four times that of the world’s oceans.
B. The water in the oceans is the main source of rain and snow on land areas.
C. The atmosphere is mainly made up of the vapor carried over land by air currents.
D. The earth cannot support the water in the atmosphere if it falls down onto the
earth suddenly.
