    　　In the United States, most cities have two kinds of telephone books, each providing a special list of telephone numbers. Copies of these books can be found at all public telephones and in most hotel and motel rooms.

The names are listed alphabetically with the last or surname(姓氏) first. The second book is called the “classified(分类)” or “Yellow Pages” and lists all of the business, hotels, restaurants, shops, theaters and services in the area. This listing is arranged according to the type of establishment. You can learn much about the city and what it has to offer by looking through the “Yellow Pages”, for example, under the heading of “schools”, “repairs” or “special food”.

    　　In many countries around the world May 1 is a holiday．Labour Day, or Workers' Day, is an international holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do．
