1．Columbus Day is on the second Monday of October in the United States and some other countries around the world.For a long time，it was on October 12^th.It is named after Christopher Columbus，the Italian sailor who led the Spanish ships to discover new lands in 1492.There is even a child's poem remembering the date.It reads， "In 1492 Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue." Some people say Columbus "discovered" America，although not everyone agrees with this.
   Columbus Day has been a federal holiday（聯(lián)邦假日）since 1937.Government offices，schools，and post offices are closed on this day.Many Italians take the day as a day to celebrate their own ethnic heritage（民族文化遺產(chǎn)）.Major cities，like New York City and San Francisco，host large parades.
   Not everyone thinks Christopher Columbus should be honored.Some states like South Dakota do not like the holiday at all.Instead，they call the day Native American Day.In Hawaii the holiday is also known as Discoverer's Day.This is because European arrival in North America meant the loss of land and lives for many native people.Many people hold protests （抗議）on this day to remember the Native Americans that were killed as a result of the European arrival.
