XI. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.

New Year’s Day is a public holiday in the United Kingdom (UK). It is on January 1st. People in the UK usually celebrate New Year from the evening of December 31st to January 1st.

On New Year’s Eve, at midnight, when the Big Ben clock strikes to mark the coming of New Year, people welcome New Year and sing the traditional song “Auld-Lang-Syne”. They open the back door to let the old year out and ask the first dark-haired man to come through the front door carrying bread, salt, and coal. This means that in the following year everyone in the house will have enough food (bread), earn enough money (salt), and be warm enough (coal).

Many people have parties at home or go out. There is also a popular tradition of exchanging New Year gifts while wishing each other well. New Year parades are the biggest attraction of New Year celebrations in the UK. They are organised in almost all major cities of the UK.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Public holidays in the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as bank holidays, are days where most businesses and non – essential services are closed although an increasing number of retail businesses (especially the larger ones) do open on some of the public holidays. There are restrictions on trading on Sundays and Christmas Day. Four public holidays are common to all countries of the United Kingdom. These are: New Year's Day, the first Monday in May, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Some banks open on some bank holidays. In Scotland, while New Year's Day and Christmas Day are national holidays, other bank holidays are not necessarily public holidays, since the Scots instead observe traditional local customs and practice for their public holidays. In Northern Ireland, once again, bank holidays other than New Year's

Day and Christmas Day are not necessarily public holidays. Good Friday and Christmas Day are common law holidays, except in Scotland, where they are bank holidays. In Scotland the holiday on 1 January (or 2 January if 1 January is Sunday) is statutory, and 25 December is also a statutory holiday (or 26 December if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. And 28 December only is given if Boxing Day is Saturday.

Like Denmark, the United Kingdom has no national day holiday marked or celebrated for its formal founding date. Increasingly, there are calls for public holidays on the patron saints' days in England, Scotland and Wales. An online petition sent to the Prime Minister received 11,000 signatures for a public holiday in Wales on St. David's Day; the Scottish Parliament has passed a bill creating a public holiday on St. Andrew's Day although it must be taken in place of another public holiday; campaigners in England are calling for a bank holiday on St. George's Day; and in Cornwall, there are calls for a public holiday on St. Piran's Day.

The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.

A. traditions’

B. the Scots’

C. holidays’

D. the UK’s
