　　District of Columbia and for the federal government beginning at __7__ 1971. The law also provided begun in 1971 federal employees __8__ would be granted three-days weekends by observing Washington’s __9__ Birthday on the third Monday in February, Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, Columbus Day on the second Monday in October, and Veteran Day on the forth Monday on October. By 1971, most of the states also adopted the new dates. __10__

　　答案：

　　1.strict改为strictly

　　2.holiday改为holidays。因为原句的谓语动词为复数are，所以holiday必须使用复数。另外no后面可以用复数也可以用单数。

　　3.which前面加上on。因为先行词the day在关系从句钟做状语，还原回去应为：each holiday is celebrated on the day，所以必须加on。

　　4.obsevation改为observance。observation意思为“观察，观测”，observance则表示“遵守，庆祝”。

　　5.Independent改为Independence。独立日的说法是“Independence Day”。

　　6.apart改为aside。set apart 指“使分离，使分开”，语义不同，set aside表示“留出，保留”的意思。

　　7.at改为in

　　8.begun改为beginning。动词begin和分句的主语federal employees的关系是主动的，应此要用beginning。

　　9.three-days 改为three-day。用连字符连接起来的表示数量的'名词的前置修饰语的复数概念仍然是单数，如：a million-pound banknote。

　　10.also前面加had。如果一个句子里面有by引导的时间状语从句则动词一般用完成体。
