Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

The idea of the weekend is a recent invention. In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people, however, the workday was six days long. It ended at about noon or later on Saturday.

Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy.

By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.

Anything and everything can happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having parties. They drink too much alcohol. They get killed or kill other people. They sleep, watch television, and sometimes fall in love. People do these things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more often and with more emotion and purpose on Saturday night.

On Saturday night movie theatres sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sell alcoholic drinks. That is one reason why Saturday night sees most murders, fights and deadly car accidents.

14. When did people begin to have the idea of the weekend?

15. Why did Henry Ford establish a workweek of five days?

16. Why do murders, fights and car accidents occur mostly on Saturday nights?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Hey Joy, I forgot to register for the courses. I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full.

You know, everybody is supposed to register at least one selective course every school term to graduate. What do you think I should do?

W: Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that. I’m really sorry for you.

M: Well, Do you think going to the registration office will help now?

W: No, they will tell you the same thing, perhaps in a worse way.

M: By the way, did you register yet?

W: Of course, I’ve registered three courses yesterday. And it wasn’t easy for me to register for International Trade. It’s so popular these days.

M: What classes do you think are still open today?

W: Maybe Modern History, and Chemistry. It was said these two courses were not that popular last year.
