The picnics, speeches, and parades of today’ s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish - American labor leader named Peter J. Mcgurie. A carpenter by trade, Mcguire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners(UBCJ). Approaching the City’ s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud(~)"the industrial spirit--the great vital force of every nation," On September 5th his suggestion bore fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses’ warnings ,left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.
The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of "progress and poverty." In a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti - capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to "wage, slavery" and anarchists(无政府主义)singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite(炸药), middle -of- the roaders like Samuel. Gompers and Mcguire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages. [br] We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march ______.
选项
A、immediately won nationwide support
B、involved workers from 30 states
C、was opposed by many factory owners
D、was organized by the UBCJ
答案
C
解析
具体细节题。问题问的是;从第—段中我们可以看出第一次劳动节旅行 ______。根据文章第一段倒数第二句“…many of them ignoring their bosses’warnings,left work to march…”可知,游行遭到很多工厂老板的反对,所以C为正确选项。选项A“立刻得到全国的支持”不对,从许多工厂主反对游行这一点来说就不是“全国的支持”。选项B“有来自30个州的工人参加”和选项D“由UBCJ”组织,在文章中都没有提及。
