Thank You for Making May Day 2014 a Great Success!
May Day 2014 on the New Haven Green was a wonderful day!
It was a significant cultural event of great artists on stage and off providing inspiring music, creating art,
including a huge mural and of course our May Pole Dance.
May Day brings a large segment of the local social justice,
social service and labor organizations out to the Green to provide information.
May Day prides itself not only on the wealth of information provided to the public, but also on the productive networking
that takes place and the intellectual discourse on important issues.
For all this, May Day is the result of the work of volunteers and the generosity of the groups and individuals
whose financial contributions help to make May Day New Haven possible.
About May Day New Haven
Twenty-nine years ago a group of friends decided they wanted to create a
May Day Festival on the Green in New Haven, CT. We formed the May Day Celebration Committee.
We are all volunteers and the group is open to anyone who wants to help.
Our vision 28 years ago remains the same - to organize a multi-cultural festival that
honors and celebrates our labor history and the labor, peace, social service
and social justice groups that today continue the struggle for peace and human rights.

历史文化类阅读
历史文化类阅读：本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。切记：一想当然，就会出错。
