In England, Christmas Day and Good Friday have been holidays for religious reasons since the establishment of Christianity in the country. Christmas is celebrated on December 25, not Christmas Eve as in several other European countries. The other public holidays (or "Bank Holidays") are Easter Monday, May Day (May 1st), the Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), December 26th (Boxing Day), and New Year's Day. The term "Bank Holiday" goes back to the Bank Holidays Act of 1871, which owes its name to the fact that banks are closed on the days specified.
Boxing Day takes its name from the old custom of giving employees or tradesmen (such as milkman) an annual present or "Christmas box" on that day
Easter Monday is generally regarded as an unofficial consecration (祭祀) of Spring. It used to be the day on which the ladies would parade in the parks, wearing new dresses and hats. Although this custom is dying out, the tradition still provides the ladies with a pretext for buying spring clothes.
The August Bank Holiday is probably the most popular one of the year, partly because it comes at a time when children are not at school In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) is also a Bank Holiday. St Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. It is curious that St. George's Day (April 23rd) not a public holiday in England though St. George is the Patron Saint of England. However, the flag of St George (a red cross on a white background) or the Union Jack is flown on that day, particularly by churches of the Church of England.

听力原文: Education is required and flee for every child in the United States. Most children start by the age of six. They attend eight years of elementary school and four years of high school (or secondary school). The money for free public schools comes from taxes, and each state is responsible for its own educational system. State legislatures set the educational requirements but leave the management of the schools in the hands of the local communities. Most states require their children to go to school until a certain age. This age varies from 16 to 18 according to the laws of the individual states, The Federal Government contributes funds to the states for additional school services.
After graduation from the high school, a student can start his higher education in a two-year college, a four-year college, a university, or a specialized professional school--either public or private. Most colleges admit students on the basis of their high school records. The cost of the college education is great in private universities, but it is much less in those supported by states and cities. Many students receive scholarships from the schools, the Government, or private foundations and organizations. More than 50% of the college students work to help pay their college expenses. Only 2 % of the population of the country cannot read and write.

M: No, I don' t. do you have any final suggestions?

M: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
F: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make use of them instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.
