the day just after Thanksgivingin the US. Because so many companies
have a fourday weekend, many people begin their Christmasshopping
on this day. (Thanksgiving always falls on aThursday in the US, and
then people have Friday,Saturday, and Sunday off from work.) Black
Friday is often reported as one of the busiestshopping days of the
year. Shopping malls arepacked with people, parking lots are
crowded, andlines at stores are very, very long. Some stores even
open at five or six in the morningbecause there are so many people.
Other storeshave discounts and sales to draw even morecustomers.
25. Black Friday Article: (2 of 4) The word "black" to describe the
Friday likelybegan in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Trafficjams
filled the roads into the downtown areaevery year. The stores and
sidewalks wereoverflowing with shoppers. The experience for so many
of the people whoventured downtown was stressful and chaotic. Itwas
a terrible, or black, day. Because other citiesaround the country
similarly experienced trafficjams, busy stores, and too many
shoppers on theday after Thanksgiving, the term spread. BlackFriday
became a common idiom in AmericanEnglish. 26. Black Friday Article:
(3 of 4) Although many people may see the day afterThanksgiving
negatively, retailers have a verydifferent opinion. Its their best
opportunity toimprove earnings for the year, and take thebusiness
out of the red (loss) and into the black(profit). For example, if
sales were slow in the spring,summer, and fall, then the store must
attractmany customers and make many sales betweenThanksgiving and
Christmas. The first and mostimportant day of this last chance
shoppingseason is Black Friday. 27. Black Friday Article: (4 of 4)
Of course, there are some people who dislikeBlack Friday. There are
some people who hatethe day and its crowds very much. But there
arealso some people who strongly oppose theshopping day because
they believe it harmssociety. They think that people should consume
less andreuse resources more, and so have created a daycalled "Buy
Nothing Day." It falls on the sameday as Black Friday, and it
encourages people tobuy nothing, of course. However, for most
people, Black Friday justpresents one more opportunity to
goshopping. For those who dont like shopping, 28. Comprehension
