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 citizens. They give
love and care to their children. These two days offer an
opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and
fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers
must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.
On Mother"s Day people wear camations.A red one symbolizes a
living mother. A white one shows that mother is dead. Many
people attend religious services to honour their 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(烤肉)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(花商),candy makers, bakeries,
telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during
these holidays.

place in London, on the last weekend in August, every year since
1964.
This great festival began with the Black immigrants(黑人移
民) from the Caribbean, particularly from Trinidad, where the
Camival tradition is very strong. People there dreamed of creating
a festival to fight against racism (种族主义). At that time, they
didn"t have working opportunities and their housing conditions were
poor.
This holiday always falls on the last weekend of August with
Sunday and Monday being the major camival days. There are
scores of massive" sound systems" , many beautiful and big floats
(游行彩车) and steel drum bands (钢鼓乐队). There are
hundreds of stalls (货摊) along the streets of the area selling all
sorts of food and drink including Caribbean specialties (特产).
Dressed in different colors, hundreds of children get the
parade under way on Sunday, ahead of more than 100 floats and
thousands of performers who will stage the main parade on
Monday. Party-goers will eat, drink and dance their way through
the streets.
The camival, which takes place in the streets of the west
London district, was made famous by the movie Notting Hill
starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Crant. It has become one of the
most celebrated symbols of multicultural Britain.

festival is a time when the family come together for a meal and give thanks to God for the blessings
they have received. The first Thanksgiving festival was celebrated by the early American settlers who
gave thanks to God for their good harvest.
In America Thanksgiving is a family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family make a special
effort to get together. The feast (节日 ) is always on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday
from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
The Thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey, which was the food for the first Thanksgiving. The table
is filled with fruits, walnuts (胡桃) and many kinds of vegetables. For dessert (甜点) the main choice is
usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be
talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
On Thanksgiving morning there are sporting events and parades (游行) in many cities to mark the
day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4 o"clock. The mother will prepare the
meal and the father will carve (切) the turkey. He will preside (主持) at the head of the table. The meal
will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will
also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone
present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is over, some will help with the dishes and others
will return to the living room to talk or watch television.
In many ways the festival of Thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese festival of Mid-Autumn Day. It is
a time for the family to get together for dinner.

after Saint Valentine, an early Christian (基督教的) churchman
who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian
beliefs on February 14 more than 1 700 years ago, but the day that
has his name is even earlier than that.
More than 2 000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a
holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their
names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container(容
器) . Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl
whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet
heart for a year.
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send
each other Valentine"s Day cards that tell of their.love. Sometimes
they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans
usually send gifts and cards through the mail system. But some
use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a
newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the
messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much. "
Others say more. This one, for example, "Dan, roses are red.
Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you.
Forever. Mary. "
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local,
but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other
countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine
message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the
world. These messages cost 80 dollars or more. An employee (雇
员) of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose
printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of
Valentine"s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make
sure he or she reads the newspaper.
B. More than 2,000 years ago.
C. On February 24.
D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
B. Boys and girls became sweet hearts by chance.
C. Girls and boys send gifts and cards through the mail system.
D. It was celebrated as a holiday for lovers.
B. Valentine was killed for helping lovers.
C. Readers of USA Today can send roses to their lovers along with the printed messages.
D. Valentine was honoured by people for his firm Christianbelief and warm heart.
B.To advertise for USA Today.
C. To tell you that Americans are open to express their love.
D. To sell roses on Valentine"s Day.
