【解析】

这篇短文告诉大家母亲节的来历。提醒大家：这一天是母亲的节日，希望大家爱自己的母亲。现在许多国家的人们在这一天给母亲寄礼物或者给母亲点一首歌以表示对母亲的爱，爱是无价的。

【1】句意：这也是一些其他国家的节日。A. the others“其他东西，其余的人”。特指某一范围内的 “其他的（人或物）”。B. another“别的，另一个”，泛指众多中一个。一般后面接单数名词，前面不能加定冠词。C. others泛指 “另外几个”，“其余的”，是other的复数形式；D. other“别的，其他”，泛指 “其他的（人或物）”。other+名词＝others。结合以上分析D正确。

【2】句意：它是向母亲致谢的日子。A. fathers“父亲”；B. teachers“老师”；C. mothers“母亲”； D. parents“父母”。由短文内容可知，母亲节是为了感谢母亲而设定的节日。故选C。

【3】句意：在那一天，母亲们通常收到鲜花和卡片。A. buy“买”；B. get“得到”；C. send“寄送”；D. give“给”。结合句意可知B正确。

【4】句意：这个节日的想法是从哪里来的？A. be from B. is from C. come from D. came from

这四个选项都有来自于的意思。句子Where does the idea for the holiday ____4____? 是由助动词does构成的句式。因此后面用动词短语做谓语。排除A/B。does为一般现在时，因此后面用动词原形。故选C。

【5】句意：她的母亲于1905年五月8号去世。在具体的日期前用介词on。故选A。

【6】句意：她爱她的母亲。A. didn't love“不爱”；B. forgot “忘记”；C. hated “讨厌”；D. loved“热爱”。由句意可知贾维斯很喜欢她的母亲。故选D。

【7】句意：她在信中要求他们给所有的母亲设立一天来庆祝。A. both“两者都”；B. all“所有的，全部”；C. their “他们的”；D. every“每一个”。 因为mothers为复数，用all修饰。

【8】句意：母亲节，孩子们送礼物给他们的母亲。give sth. to sb. “送给某人某物”，结合句意可知A正确。

【9】句意：或者全家都出去。A. but “但是”；B. or“或者”；C. than“比”；D. because“因为”。

由句子内容可知，母亲节这天除了给母亲礼物还可以出去游玩。故选B。

【10】句意：尽力为母亲做些好事让他们快乐。A. nice“好的”；B. new “新的”；C. bad“坏的”；D. important“重要的”。由句意可知A正确。
