Many countries have a holiday to celebrate workers’ rights on or around May 1, but Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September.
Canada’ s Labour Day was【C1】______celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894. The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canada’s first significant【C2】______for worker’s rights. The aim of the demonstration was to release the 24 leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union who were imprisoned for【C3】______to campaign for a nine-hour working day. At this time, trade unions were still illegal and what they did was seen as a criminal conspiracy to【C4】______trade. In spite of this, the Toronto Trades Assembly was already a significant organization and encouraged workers to form trade unions,【C5】______in disputes between employers and employees and signalled the【C6】______of workers.
There was【C7】______public support for the parade and the authorities could no longer deny the important role that the trade unions had to play in the【C8】______Canadian society. A few months later, a similar parade was organized in Ottawa and passed the house of Canada’ s first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before the gathering and promised to【C9】______all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and【C10】______led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883.
A similar holiday, Labour Day is held on the same day in the United States of America. Canadian trade unions are proud that this holiday was inspired by their efforts to improve workers’ rights.
A)disrupt B)enormous C)lashed D)muttering
E)striking F)mediated G)originally H)perpetual
I)eventually J)emerging K)gesture L)mistreatment
M)repeal N)parade O)practically
【C2】
选项
答案
N
解析
此处应填名词。根据句意分析,贸易联合会组织了一场运动,其目的是要求政府释放工人领袖,且这场运动和下一句demonstration表达的意思应相近.巧合的是,第三段第一、二句中反复出现的一词parade本身即为选项,因此选parade“游行”。
