Polish President Andrzej Duda has signed a bill into law that largely limits trade on Sundays,saying it will benefit family life.
The legislation (立法),worked out by the government and the Polish trade union,is expected to draw protests from large western supermarket chains that are the main target of the law.A large part of their profit is earned on weekends.
As of March 1,shops and markets are closed on two Sundays per month,in 2019 only one Sunday a month will be open for shopping;and starting in 2020,there will be no Sunday shopping with a few exceptions.
Duda praised the law as giving children a chance to be with parents and giving shop workers some needed time off.He also said big traders will need to adjust their practices to the new system and asked them for "understanding".But critics say some of them make employees work long hours for modest pay.
"A family should be together on Sundays," Olszewska said after buying some food at a local Biedronka,a large discount supermarket chain.She said that before she retired she served cold cuts in a grocery store,and was grateful she never had to work on Sundays.
There are some exceptions to the ban.For instance,gas stations,cafes,pharmacies and some other businesses are allowed to keep operating on Sundays.
Anyone breaking the new rules faces a fine of up to 100,000 zlotys ($29,500),while repeat offenders may face a prison sentence.Polish trade union appealed to people to report any violators to the National Labor Inspectorate,a state body.

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門(mén)廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

(3)Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.
