In America Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card and perhaps some flowers or candy to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.

I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.

It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.

Anna was born on May 1 1864 just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister” which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.

After she became an adult Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington D.C. Then in 1906 just two weeks after Anna's 42nd birthday her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.

In the months that followed Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.

After more than a year of careful planning Anna arranged the first Mother's Daychurch service on May10 1908 in Crafton West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia where she lived and worked to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years the state of West Virginia where Anna's mother had lived made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

(1)Which answer is right about Mother's Day？

[　　]

A. In America Mother's Day is a new holiday.

B. More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother's Day.

C. In America Mother's Day is on the second Sunday in May.

D. Throughout the world Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day.

(2)Choose the right explanation of the word“observance”in the last paragraph.

[　　]

A. remark made by people

B. action in accordance with custom

C. performance of certain tradition

D. notice paid widely

(3)How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother's Day in West Virginia？

[　　]

A. From May 10 1908 to May 10 1911.

B. For more than four years.

C. For more than three years.

D. For about three years.

(4)Choose the right understanding of this passage.

[　　]

A. Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.

B. Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.

C. Anna's mother's death had done a little damage to her easy life.

D. The mother's day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday but a day with special meaning.

(5)According to the passage what most probably happened in the paragraph following it？

[　　]

A. The United States Congress proclaimed the Second Sunday in May as Mother's Day forever in the United States.

B. Mother's Day gradually became a commercial celebration.

C. Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.

D. People stopped buying candy to their mothers.

Famous American Foods What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across

Famous American Foods

What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time？ It's chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.

From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues.

Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.

But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken's real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.

Her new book, "The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup", looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, "There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill".

In addition, "soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon" are considered "comfort foods" Sheraton said. "I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder," Sheraton said from her New York home.

Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.

The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？ ______

A．Prominent American Foods

B．History of the Chicken Soup

C．Chicken Soup Recipes

D．Chicken Soup, a Universal Cure-All

In the late 1920s my mother ran away from home to marry my father.Marriage,if not run

ning away,was expected of 17-year-old girls.By the time she was 20,she had 2 children and was pregnant with a third.5 children later,I was born.And this is how I came to know my mother:she seemed a large,soft,loving-eyed woman who was rarely impatient in our home.Her quick,violent temper was on view only a few times a year,when she battled with the white landlord who had the misfortune to suggest to her that her children did not need to go to school.She made all the clothes we wore,even my brothers' overalls.She made all the towels and sheets we used. She spent the summers canning vegetables and fruits.She spent the winter evenings making quilts enough to cover all our beds.During the "working" day,she labored beside-not behind-my father in the fields.Her day began before sunup,and did not end until late at night.There was never a moment for her to sit down,undisturbed,to unravel her own private thoughts;never a time free from interruption-by work or the noisy inquiries of her many children.And yet,it is to my mother-and all our mothers who were not famous-that I went in search of the secret of what has fed that muzzled and often mutilated,but vibrant,creative spirit that the black woman has inherited,and that pops out in wild and unlikly places to this day.

A、the mother worked from sunup till night

B、the mother worked side by side with her husband

听力原文：Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger

听力原文： Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day, for instance, mothers of families. They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called "open". The university was started in order to help a known group-people who missed having a university education when they were young.

The first name for the Open University was "The University of the Air". The idea was to teach "on the air", in other words, on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people's homes. But this, on its own, is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also receives advice at one of 283 study centers in the country. 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a "tutor", the person who guides his studies. He must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year, the results were good. Three out of every 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in four or five years.

(33)

A．Because the students have to pass all examinations before entering it.

B．Because there is no examination before they are accepted as students.

C．Because there is no gate.

D．Because it never closes.

根据下列文章,请回答 16～20 题。 Liu :To me，work is first and my child is second. I work m

根据下列文章,请回答 16～20 题。

Liu :

To me，work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it' s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise ! may some day lose everything, even my child.

I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.

I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.

Liang:

Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.

Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand.

Yao:

When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.

Wang:

Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman' s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.

Zhao:

Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields.

Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: There are two extra statements.

第11题

The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students in my way to work these mornings.

They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.

These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be "self care".

Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.

The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.

"We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realities of family life," says Dr. Ernest Boye, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable. "School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been. "

His is not popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives？

It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids' lack of learning, the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn't produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.

The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.

The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to ______.

A．the growing season on the nation's farm

B．the labor demands of the industrial age

C．teachers'demands for more vacation time

D．parents'demands for other experiences for their kids
