This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Con duct, a promise to serf-regulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of the nation's largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $1 billion garment business that would make it the country's 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections. Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the cede, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer financed contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. "I just assume that they are adhering to safety and health requirements," she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years.
What is this passage mainly concerned with?

A. The functions of the Department of Labor in America.
B. A serious problem threatening American economy.
C. The successful attempt of regulating sweatshops in America.
D. The seriousness of the problem of sweatshops in America.

Juan Ponce de Leon was the first Spaniard to touch the shores of the present United States. Just as Columbus had not remotely realized the extent of his momentous discovery, de Leon never dreamed that his "island" of Florida was a peninsular extension of the vast North American continent. After coming to the New World with Columbus in 1493, he had led the occupation of Puerto Rico in 1508 and governed it from 1509 to 1512. In 1509, de Leon started a colony at Caparra, later abandoned in favor of San Juan. He was one of the first adelantados -- men who "advanced" the Spanish Empire by conquest, subjugation of the Indians and establishment of a semi-military government.
In Puerto Rico he heard a legend about an island called Bikini, where there was said to be a spring that restored youth to all who bathed in it. It is said he was seeking this spring when he discovered Florida.
He sailed from Puerto Rico in March 15i3. On Easter Sunday he sight ed the coast. A few days later he landed on Florida's east coast, near what is now St. Augustine. He named the place La Florida after the Spanish term for Easter Sunday -- Pascua Florida, or "flowery feast." He then sailed around the peninsular and up the west coast. He returned to Florida in 1521.
In what year did de Leon discover Florida ?

A. 1508.
B. 1513.
