On Monday, the nation celebrates Presidents’ Day. Is it George Washington’s birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Confused yet? Everyone agrees that Monday is a holiday, but what should we call it?
The history behind Presidents’ Day?
George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday.
Presidential historians say the real date of George Washington’s birth is February 11, 1732. A change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates 11 days ahead(向前), making Washington’s birthday February 22. In 1879, Congress (美国国会) made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birth date.
In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holiday’s name. It was still called Washington’s Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s actual birthday is February 12.
The great presidential debate?
Many people agree that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents’ birthdays. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country’s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term “George Washington’s Birthday”, but none of those laws have passed. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term “Presidents’ Day”. Many stores also use it to promote holiday sales.

七、任务型阅读 (共5小题; 每小题1分，满分5分)
请认真阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的单词。注意：每空一个单词。
Space is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, many astronauts have to stay alone for a long time. It stands to reason that, once in a while, they need to have a good cry. But this is more difficult than it sounds.
We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity. In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the skies (and beyond). As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when a person normally cries, gravity makes their tears move downwards. But in a spacecraft, this is not the case. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around. This means that, strangely, when you cry, your tears have nowhere to go. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this, “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off your eye… they just kind of stay there.” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture is irritating(气人的). Sometimes, things get even weirder(更怪异的).” The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they “break free of the eye and float around”.
No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is a very strange thing indeed, and now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just gets even stranger.
Crying In Space
Life in space Astronauts feel (71) . As a result, they may cry sometimes.
Why is crying
(72) in space? Because of zero gravity, tears have nowhere to go, just stick to eyes.
Crying experience in space ●Andrew Feustel: Crying can be (73) ________.
●Ron Parise: Tears won’t break free of the eye (74) they are big enough.
Conclusion Crying in space is even (75) than that on earth.
