Boxing Day is an institution in the British calendar,but there is no common consensus as to how it got its name.According to some,it can be traced back to the Victorian era when churches often displayed a box into which their parishioners (教区居民) put donations.
However,according to historian Dr Neil Armstrong,the naming of Boxing Day dates back to the 17th century.This was the day,he said,when apprentices would have a box for their employers to tip them a coin or two.While the boxes may have disappeared,the custom of tipping has remained.
In the Victorian age,the custom evolved.On Boxing Day,most tradespeople would give their clients a gift to ensure their custom.There were concerns,said Dr Armstrong,that this was a form of bribery (行贿).This custom declined in the 20th century as fewer people had relationships with their local businesses and shops following the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres.
“It may not be the reason why Boxing Day got its name,but charitable giving was closely associated with Boxing Day in the Victorian era,”said Dr Armstrong.“In the mid-19th century there began to be indiscriminate (随意的) charitable giving.This would often be begging,and children were usually sent out to do this job.” Nevertheless,the habit of generous charitable giving has continued to be associated with the festive period up to the present day.
Boxing Day continued,however,to be a normal working day until 1871,when it was finally classed as a public holiday.“They would often be working until very late on Christmas Eve,so they wanted a break on Boxing Day,”Dr Armstrong said.Then it became known as a day of leisure.Organised sporting events such as football matches became popular—a tradition which has carried on until today.
Boxing Day is observed in the United Kingdom,Canada,Australia,New Zealand,South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations.In America,December 26 is known as the Day after Christmas Day,and is observed as a holiday in only a few states.
4.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “institution” in the first paragraph

C.Local organization.
D.Social convention.
5.How is the passage mainly developed
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By making classification.
6.According to the passage,why did the Boxing Day custom of giving gifts decline in the 20th century
A.Because of the indifferent relationships between people.
B.Because of the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres.
C.Because of a strict policy,which banned this form of bribery.
D.Because of the decrease in the number of tradespeople.
7.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage
A.To explain the origin of Boxing Day.
B.To explain how people celebrate Boxing Day.
C.To show that Boxing Day is named after a church donation box.
D.To advise people to celebrate Boxing Day.
