BLACK FRIDAY
Why is the day after Thanksgiving called ‘Black Friday’? Most people know Black Friday as
the day when stores open much (0)
___earlier___
(early) and offer various sales. Many people
believe we call it ‘Black Friday’ because many stores become profitable on the huge
(1)
(shop) day and go ‘into the black’. ‘Black’ refers to stores moving from the ‘red’
to the ‘black’, as in the old times records were kept by hand, and the (2)
(mean) of
red ink was a loss, while black meant a profit.
But the true story of Black Friday is (3)
(little) well-known. The expression ‘Black
Friday’ was first used to describe 24 September, 1869, when two (4)
(talent)
investors, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, manipulated the price of gold and caused a crash. The stock
market (5)
(fall) 20% and foreign trade stopped.
In the 1950s, Philadelphia police used the term ‘Black Friday’ to refer to the day between
Thanksgiving and the Army-Navy college football game. Huge crowds of shoppers and tourists
went to the city that Friday, and cops had to work (6)
(extreme) long hours to control
the crowds. Shop (7)
(own) tried to change the name to ‘Big Friday’, but the
alternative name never got (8)
(accept).
By the late 1980s, "Black Friday" had become known with the more positive message of
“from red to black”.

FAIRY TALES – SCARY TALES
Many generations are familiar with the characters from Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast
thanks (0)
__to__
Disney’s hit adaptations of the original fairy tales.
Pictures of big-eyed beautiful females and charming males are among the first details a lot
(18)
viewers mention when asked about the movies. But (19)
truth is that
the Disneyfied tales are often very different from the original story.
While we often associate fairy tales with children’s bedtime stories, their original purpose was
(20)
else. The original tales suggested the idea that people (21)
do morally
wrong things will (22)
punished. Some fairy tales started out as oral stories, passed
down from generation to generation, as a warning to little children (and adults) (23)
be good. The most famous versions of these tales (24)
written down by the Grimm
brothers and Hans Christian Andersen.
While some level of morality still exists in the Disney tales and stories, most of their original,
darker details and endings (25)
been removed. Did you know that in the Grimm
brothers’ version of Cinderella there is enough blood for a modern thriller?
