    Cards，flowers，sales，TV specials，and a day off for someone who really deserves it--that's what probably comes to mind for many people when they think about Mother's Day．But there's certainly more to the story．

    Mother's Day hasn't been around as long as moms have，but the tradition does go way back．The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held in the springtime in ancient Greece．The celebrations honored Rhea，the Mother of the Gods．During the 1600's，England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday"，a day on which even servants were given the day off to spend with their families．A "mothering cake" was even served with the family meal．

    In the U．S．，Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe，who wrote the words to the famous song．"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"，suggested it as a day dedicated（献给）to peace．But it didn't really catch on until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign（战役）to honor her own mother．She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War（内战）．

    The U．S．isn't alone in devoting a day to its mothers．Many other countries including Denmark，Finland，Italy，Turkey，Australia，Japan and Belgium also celebrate their morns in May．Other countries honor their morns at different times of the year．

    Learning more about and celebrating Mother's Day is important，but probably not as important as understanding what your own mom，or grandmother，or aunt or anyone you choose to celebrate on this day has really done for you．And that will certainly be appreciated （感激）more than one day a year．

    1．It can be inferred that in England people celebrated "Mothering Sunday"______．

    A．in the springtime in ancient time

    B．more than 1，600 years ago

    C．with servants still working

    D．with a mothering cake served at dinner

    2．According to the passage，in the U．S．Mother's Day ______．

    A．has a history of about 100 years

    B．has become popular for almost 136 years

    C．was a day dedicated to mothers at the beginning

    D．was started by Julia Ward Howe

    3．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

    A．Celebrating Mother's Day is very important．

    B．Mother's Day should be celebrated all over the world．

    C．The most important is to appreciate mothers' love all the time．

    D．Doing something for your mother on Mother's Day is very important．

    阅读下面短文，根据文意，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当
    的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
        Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a bunch (束) of white flowers was put to my
    house. No cards came 1.            it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped
    trying to find 2.            sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flowers in soft pink paper.
        But I never stopped thinking 3.            the giver might be. Some of my 4.            (happy) moments
    were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged my thinking. She'd ask me 5.            
    there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. 6.            a girl, though, I had more fun thinking
    that it might be a boy I had run into.
        One month 7.            my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested
    in my graduation dance, 8.            I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own
    sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In 9.            (true), my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the flowers with perhaps a
    bit of mystery.
        My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the 10.            the white flowers
    stopped coming.
