【答案解析】[解析] 21-22 [21]French public sector workers are holding a day-long nationwide strike to protest against the government's social and economic policies. Tens of thousands of people rallied in Pads and other cities. Transport, schools and other services were disrupted by the strike, which was supported by all the major unions. The protest comes two days after regional elections in which President Nicolas Sarkozy's centre-fight UMP party suffered a heavy defeat. Resistance to Mr. Sarkozy's economic reform program was widely thought to have contributed to the loss. [22]On Monday, the French pres- ident reacted by reshuffling his cabinet. Mr. Sarkozy has also suggested he may slow the pace of unpopular reforms.
