Beyond the
Child Labor in the Cities
At the beginning of the nineteenth century， factory owners faced few restrictions on the way they ran their businesses. About one-third of their workers were children between the ages of 7 and 12. Gradually laws intended to develop standards for working children came into being.
The first child-labor laws were enacted at the state level and usually focused on both compulsory education and determining a minimum age for employment. Subsequent laws limited the length of the workday for children. Pennsylvania， for example， limited the work- day to 10 hours for children under 12. However， government officials expended negligible （微不足道的） energy on ensuring that businesses compiled with the law. In fact one group of children was left entirely unprotected by labor laws —— the children of immigrant families.
By the beginning of the twentieth century， finishing work provided employment for sig- nificant numbers of women， particularly those who had recently arrived in the United States. This type of work， also called piecework， was predominandy womens work and a mainstay of the garment industry. Women sewed baby dresses or mens neckties from precut pieces of fabric and made the artificial flowers used to decorate hats. Piecework turned homes into fac- tories that were exempt from the law， and countess children worked long hours alongside their mothers and older sisters.
Manufacturers exploited the system shamelessly and paid the lowest wages they could. Embroidering a silk dress， which was a 10-day job， might generate a five-dollar payment. There was also the activity called "willowing，" in which workers added more strands to os- trich feathers used on hats to make them longer， fuller， and more graceful. The first willow- ers were paid 15 cents per inch， but a few months later， the pay was reduced to 13 cents. Within three years， wiUowers were earning only three cents per inch.
In order to survive under these circumstances， pieceworkers had even their youngest children help them. In one Italian neighborhood， a three-year-old girl helped her mother sew clothes， and a pair of sisters left school at three oclock in the afternoon， only to make artifi- cial flowers at home until nine or ten oclock at night. In another instance， a child of eight who had lived in New York for three years had never been to school at all and could speak almost no English because all she did was work.

前言/序言

　　閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一，又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中，閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此，我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”（Timed Readings Plus）。本叢書含有以下3個子係列：社會科學（Social．Studies）、自然科學（．Science）及數學（Mathematics），由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊，社會科學每冊有24課，自然科學每冊有25課，每課兩篇閱讀材料；數學有5個分冊，每冊有15課，每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道，知識麵廣，信息量大，能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力，提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右，側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力；閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短，著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧，如：從上下文中猜測生詞的含義，找齣作者的觀點，得齣中心思想，排列事件順序，推斷作者的論點等。因此，我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書，適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
　　怎樣使用本係列叢書呢？我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
　　1．閱讀時，要集中注意力。
　　2．用一分鍾閱讀標題，並思考以下問題：我是否瞭解這一話題？我從這個話題中能學到什麼？這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考？
　　3．重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句，因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
　　4．快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容，你應該放慢速度，以便記住這些內容。
　　怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者？
