Read the passage and answer the questions A.May Day or International $Workers^{\prime} Day is observed on May 1 all over the world today \to commemorate the historical struggle and sacrifices of the working people \to establish an eight-hour$ workday. It is a public holiday in almost all the countries of the world. Since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and the US, the workers in mills and factories had been working a long shift, fourteen or even more hours a day. On May 1st in 1886, inspired by the trade unions, half of the workers at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company in Chicago went on strike demanding an eight-hour workday. Two days later, a $workers^{\prime} rally was held near the McCormick Harvester Machine Company and about 6000 workers joined$ it. The rally was addressed by the labor leaders. They urged the workers $\to stand$ together, $\to go on with their struggle and not \to give in \to their$ bosses. At one point of the rally, some strike breakers started leaving the meeting place. The strikers went down the street $\to bring them$ back. Suddenly about 200 policemen attacked them with clubs and revolvers. One striker was killed instantly, five or six others were seriously wounded and many others were injured. The events of May 1, 1886 are a reminder that workers will continue $\to be exploited until they stand up and speak out \to gain better working$ conditions, better pay and better lives.[Unit-4; Lesson-2(B)][২০২৬ সালের সিলেবাস বহির্ভূত]A.

7.Read the following text carefully and answer the questions no. 1 : Traditional childhood pastimes of climbing trees and playing conkers are in decline, according $\to a survey by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of$ Birds). It's a charitable organization registered in England and Wales. The survey shows that people under 34 recall far fewer such childhood outdoor experiences than people over 55, according $\to a survey by$ RSPB. People were asked which of the twelve childhood outdoor experiences they could remember. The answer included making dens, daisy chains, climbing trees, playing conkers and feeding birds. Four out of five boys climbed trees and the same number of girls made daisy chains. But the survey showed the numbers declining among the newer generations. Some 15% more of those aged over 55 had these outdoor experiences in their childhood, compared with those between 15-34 years old. Some 92% of the public agreed that experiences of nature were still important $\to$ children, and 82% agreed that schools should play a role in providing them $\to all$ children. The survey has highlighted the positive impact of contact with nature on a child's education, health, wellbeing and social skills. At the same time, there has been a decline in these opportunities, with negative consequences for children, families and society a condition now known as nature deficit disorder. Mike Clarke, chief executive of the RSPB, will meet parliament members $\to urge the government \to join other organizations in providing children with first-hand experiences of the natural environment \ldots\ldots\ldots.$ "We believe this guidance should include the many positive impacts $\to children of having contact with nature and learning outside the$ classroom." 1.
