People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有責(zé)任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?______.

A. Parents bring up children.

B. Parents give love and care to children.

C. Parents educate children to be good persons.

D. Parents pass away before children grow up.

2.What do you think “florists” do?______.

A. They sell flowers. B. They make and sell bread.

C. They offer enough room for having family parties. D. They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

3.What do you know from the passage?________.

A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.

B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.

C. Not all the children respect their parents

D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.

No one knows why we sleep,but it’s certain that we need to.People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly,and they fall asleep during the working hours;some may have hallucinations（幻覺）.

There are no rules about sleep.Generally speaking,grown-ups sleep about 7 and half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours.But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or lees,and four percent or so find that they want ten hours or more.If you feel all right,you’re probably getting enough sleep.The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different.Exercise doesn’t seem to need to increase the sleep time—office workers,for example,sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.

Children sleep more than grown-ups---perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth,going down to grow-up levels by early teenage.Sleep patterns also tend to be different in the elderly,who may sleep less at night than they did when younger,find sleep getting more broken,and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
