The first Monday in September is Labor Day in the United States.It marks the unofficial end of summer and a traditional signal that school is about to start.
But now public schools often begin sometime during August.They have different reasons for starting early.
The Tucson Unified School District in Arizona began classes on August eleventh.Communications Director Chyrl Hill Lander says the earlier start time makes it possible for students to take semester（学期） exams before winter vacation in December.She says the school district also wants to follow a calendar similar to that of the nearby University of Arizona.
Many schools in Virginia still open the day after Labor Day.But the public schools in Montgomery County,in the southwestern part of Virginia,began classes on August twentieth.Human Resources Director Mark Pashier says his county has been opening schools in August for at least the past eight years.
The main reason,he says,is the tests that schoolchildren in Virginia take every spring.School officials want the students to have the most time to prepare for them -- which means starting the year before Labor Day

第一题显然是A,原文写得清清楚楚,而且其他答案都可以排除.
第二题显然是A,因为根据原文“But now public schools often begin sometime during August.”可知,现在的公立学校常常是在劳动日前开学的.其他选项都是正确的.
第三题就不是那么明显客观了.不过首先可以排除掉A和B,因为文章并不是介绍劳动日的,也不是介绍美国公立学校的,重点是美国公立学校的开学时间是在劳动日前还是后.但C和D很难确定,我更倾向选C,但C没有提到劳动日,似乎不是非常好,而D确实提到了劳动日,但没提到开学时间,所以权衡起来还是C.但不排除参考答案会选D,都说了,这不是一道真正的客观题,不要盲目相信参考答案,关键是给出自己的理由.
既然这么短,就帮你翻译一下吧,不是专业翻译,大概把大意翻译出来,问题就不翻了.
9月的第一个星期一是美国的劳动日,它标志着夏天的非官方结束,也是学校即将开学的一个传统信号.
但现在公立学校常常在八月开学,对于为什么要提前开学,它们有不同的理由.
亚利桑那州的图森联合学区在八月十一日开学.沟通主管Chyrl Hill Lander说,更早的开学能使学生在十二月的寒假之前完成期末考试.她说学区还想采用一个类似于旁边的亚利桑那大学的日程表.
在弗吉尼亚州,很多学校还是在劳动日之后开学.但弗吉尼亚州南部的蒙哥利马县的很多公立学校在八月二十日开学.人力资源主管Mark Pashier说他的县在八月开学这种情况至少已经有八年了.
他说,主要的原因是弗吉尼亚州的学生在每年春天的考试.学校管理人员希望学生有足够的时间来准备这些考试,这就意味着要在劳动日后开学.
