On the third Sunday of June every year, we admire(钦佩) the person in our lives who taught you how to ride your bike or read a book and who offers helps to the whole family. Yes, I mean dad, daddy, father. Father’s Day is the time to show him thanks for everything he does for you.

Oh! Write me a song of my father. And tell me the reason. You ever write songs about mother. Not a word of dear father you say? These words from C. Henry’s song, Oh! Write Me a Song of My Father, have been written by Sonora Dodd, a young girl who, along with her five younger brothers, was raised by her father.

On a Mother’s Day, Sonora spoke to the government and suggested(建议) her own father’s birthday, of June 5, as the day to thank fathers. The government chose the third Sunday in June instead and the very first Father’s day was celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington.

It took some time before Father’s Day became the national holiday we know today. At the time, people disagree with the idea of this holiday because they didn’t like the idea that men would get flowers and other gifts. Finally, President Lyndon B. Johnson made the decision(决定) that the third Sunday of June would be Father’s Day.

A. Fathers B. Mothers C. Teachers D. Children.

Starting a book club is easy- all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start. When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through all kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.

Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet--- usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder(提醒). Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.

Then, you need a good place, such as Libraries, parks and restaurants-- all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.

Please don’t forget the most important thing---the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend(推荐) books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.

After all this has been decided(决定), your book club is ready. Now, it is time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.
