In 1870s rich people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people back then, however, the workday was six days long.
Car maker Henry Ford was the first person in the United States to start a workweek of 5 days. He did that in 1926. By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. For many people Saturday night is the happiest time of the weekend and the week.
Anything and everything can happen(发生)on Saturday night. People go dancing: they visit friends and have parties. They drink much alcohol(酒精饮料). They sleep, and watch television. People do the same things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more often on Saturday night.
On Saturday night cinemas sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sell alcoholic drinks. That is one reason why most fights and car accidents(事故)are on Saturday night. Is there anything people do not like about the Weekend? A study of 1,000 Americans found that half would gladly have a more day of free time. The only thing wrong with the weekend, they think, is that it does not last longer.
What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、Henry Ford first started a workweek of 5 days.
B、Most people have a weekend of 2 days in 1926.
C、On Saturday night people do what they don’t do on other nights.
答案
A
解析
选项A说福特开始了五天工作周,这是正确的。选项B说1926年大多数人就已经有了两天周末,应该是要到1940年,错误。选项C说人们在周六晚上做其他晚上不做的事情,参考原文“People dothe same things on other nights of the week too,but they do them moreoften on Saturday night。”可知错误.
