Father's Day
The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.

A.Sonora honored her father on her father's birthday
B.Sonora's birthday was June 19
C.it was decided by the president at that time
D.her mother died on June 19
（2）How many years has passed before Father's Day became an official day since the father's day was celebrated?
A.4
B.10
C.14
D.24
（3）According to the passage, on Father's Day, ______.
A.people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers
B.only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathers
C.children must go home to honor their fathers
D.fathers are often honored in different ways
（4）According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______.
A.was very kind to anyone
B.did a lot for his daughter
C.was the first father honored in 1924
D.always helped others by giving money

Here are some habits you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person:

For five minutes each morning, write three things you are grateful for today. Practicing gratitude about what we have going for us can restructure our brain to focus on positive things.

Always have breakfast

If you’re pressed for time, pick something. A breakfast gives you energy and it’s fuel for your brain.

Try reflecting

Reflecting early in the day, even for 10 minutes, help to “clean” your brain of any disordered thoughts.【2】With an app called Headspace you can try a guided 10-minute reflection.

Get moving

To really wake your entire body up, pick any type of physical.【3】or it can be something shorter and even simpler: a morning yoga routine.

Light

Leave your bedroom curtains open.【4】, holding back melatonin（褪黑素）production and waking you up. Try to expose yourself to as much sunlight as possible.

Enough sleep

This might seem obvious but most Americans don’t get enough sleep these days. And if you’re short on sleep, you’ll tend to sleep late. With time, that will push you into a later and later sleep cycle.

【5】 Some people seem to be morning people, some night people.

A. Develop a positive attitude

B. Force yourself to get up in the morning

C. Keep a gratitude diary

D. It can be an exercise at the gym
