Check your calendar You will find the third Monday in February is Presidents＇ Day a holiday you may know to recognize the achievements of all past U．S presidents Do you know the history behind this holiday
After George Washington died in 1799 his supporters began recognizing his birthday February 22 as a day of remembrance for America＇s first president(At least those who used the Gregorian calendar did The Julian calendar said he was born on February 11) Washington＇s birthday became a federal (联邦) holiday for the District of Columbia in 1879 and for the rest of the country in 1885
Then in 1968 Congress (国会) introduced the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill (法案) which hoped to change certain federal holidays from special dates to Mondays creating more threeday weekends The idea was that more long weekends would make people work hard during shorter workdays
The bill also wanted to combine (结合) Washington＇s and Abraham Lincoln＇s birthdays into one holiday (some states like Illinois already celebrated Lincoln＇s birthday February 12) Illinois Senator Robert McClory suggested this holiday be called Presidents＇ Day In 1971 the bill passed and President Richard Nixon made an order that the third Monday in February should be now a holiday Here＇s the thing though According to the United States laws that holiday is still called Washington＇s Birthday The name never officially changed to Presidents＇ Day But since the laws allowed local governments and private businesses to name federal holidays whatever they want most states call it Presidents＇ Day Many stores also make use of this second name to boost February sales
Two other presidents celebrated birthdays in February William Henry Harrison (February 9) and Ronald Reagan (February 6)．

B．It is the official name for the holiday
C．Illinois was the first state to celebrate it
D．It＇s called Washington＇s Birthday officially
4．What does the underlined word boost in Paragraph 4 mean

B
The origins of the Christmas traditions are the most fascinating of any holiday All our favorite activities can be traced (追溯) back to specific points in history and knowing how these things came about just makes celebrating Christmas much more wonderful
The original Nicholas was born in 280 A．D in the small country of Lycia which is now part of modern Turkey Nicholas became first a priest (牧师) and then a bishop (教) in the early Christian church The first paintings of him show Nicholas wearing the clothes of a Christian bishop — red decorated with white When we see Santa＇s suit today we＇re still seeing the two kinds of colors
Nicholas became famous for giftgiving In the early fourth century a legend began to spread about Nicholas coming at night to the home of three poor girls who did not have money and therefore could not get married While the girls slept Nicholas left gold coins in their stockings which were drying by the fire That＇s how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start
In 1841 Santa first appeared at a department store in Philadelphia This Santa tried to climb down a chimney to impress the children who were watching but he got stuck halfway down In 1890 department store Santas began appearing all over America especially on the East Coast around Boston Parents in other countries joined together and hired passenger trains to take their families to see these Santas
At the same time Ralph E Morris of the New England Telephone Company suggested that strings of lights be hung on Christmas trees After all lights would be much safer than candles Our modernday image of Santa as a fat man is based on ads of the CocaCola company in the 1930s Artist Hans Sundblom used a retired salesman named Les Prentice as his model

B．tell of the origin of Santa filling stockings
C．show Christmas was set up mainly for the poor
D．describe a famous story in the early fourth century
4．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs

B．Candles have never been used on Christmas trees
C．The CocaCola company designed the image of Santa
D．Santa began giving gifts by climbing down chimneys in 1841

Check your calendar You will find the third Monday in February is Presidents＇ Day a holiday you may know to recognize the achievements of all past U．S presidents Do you know the history behind this holiday
After George Washington died in 1799 his supporters began recognizing his birthday February 22 as a day of remembrance for America＇s first president(At least those who used the Gregorian calendar did The Julian calendar said he was born on February 11) Washington＇s birthday became a federal (联邦) holiday for the District of Columbia in 1879 and for the rest of the country in 1885
Then in 1968 Congress (国会) introduced the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill (法案) which hoped to change certain federal holidays from special dates to Mondays creating more threeday weekends The idea was that more long weekends would make people work hard during shorter workdays
The bill also wanted to combine (结合) Washington＇s and Abraham Lincoln＇s birthdays into one holiday (some states like Illinois already celebrated Lincoln＇s birthday February 12) Illinois Senator Robert McClory suggested this holiday be called Presidents＇ Day In 1971 the bill passed and President Richard Nixon made an order that the third Monday in February should be now a holiday Here＇s the thing though According to the United States laws that holiday is still called Washington＇s Birthday The name never officially changed to Presidents＇ Day But since the laws allowed local governments and private businesses to name federal holidays whatever they want most states call it Presidents＇ Day Many stores also make use of this second name to boost February sales

The origins of the Christmas traditions are the most fascinating of any holiday All our favorite activities can be traced (追溯) back to specific points in history and knowing how these things came about just makes celebrating Christmas much more wonderful
The original Nicholas was born in 280 A．D in the small country of Lycia which is now part of modern Turkey Nicholas became first a priest (牧师) and then a bishop (教) in the early Christian church The first paintings of him show Nicholas wearing the clothes of a Christian bishop — red decorated with white When we see Santa＇s suit today we＇re still seeing the two kinds of colors
Nicholas became famous for giftgiving In the early fourth century a legend began to spread about Nicholas coming at night to the home of three poor girls who did not have money and therefore could not get married While the girls slept Nicholas left gold coins in their stockings which were drying by the fire That＇s how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start
In 1841 Santa first appeared at a department store in Philadelphia This Santa tried to climb down a chimney to impress the children who were watching but he got stuck halfway down In 1890 department store Santas began appearing all over America especially on the East Coast around Boston Parents in other countries joined together and hired passenger trains to take their families to see these Santas
At the same time Ralph E Morris of the New England Telephone Company suggested that strings of lights be hung on Christmas trees After all lights would be much safer than candles Our modernday image of Santa as a fat man is based on ads of the CocaCola company in the 1930s Artist Hans Sundblom used a retired salesman named Les Prentice as his model
