　　People thank their parents with two days: Mother' s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father' s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are to show love for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be good people. They give them love and care.

　　The tWO days are celebrated(慶祝) in many different ways.On Mother's Day,people wear carnations.Wearing a red one means having a living mother,while a white one shows that the mother is dead. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery.On these days families get together at homes as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues(燒烤聚會) for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings.

　　Another tradition(傳統(tǒng)) is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are more valued(寶貴的)than those bought in shops.It '8 not the value of the gift that is important,but the love for the parents.Card shops,florists,candy makers,phone companies and other shops do lots of business during these holidays.

　　1.Which is not a reason for children to show love for parents?

　　A.Parents love and take care of children.

　　B.Parents pass away before children grow up.

　　C.Parents give education to children.

　　答案：B

　　【解析】題干意為“哪一個不是兒女表示對父母愛的原因?”從文章第一段最后兩句“They raise their children and educate them to be good people.They give them love and care.”可以找到選項A和C。而選項B的意思是“父母在兒女長大之前就去世了”這個不是理由。

　　2.What do you know about "carnation" .9

　　A.It only has two kinds of colors.

　　B.It refers to the clothes people wear on Mother' s Day.

　　C.It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.

　　答案：C

　　【解析】題目是要我們推測“carnation”的含義。從文章第二段“0n Mother's Day, people wear carnations. Wearing a red one means having a living mother, while a white one shows that the mother is dead.”可以看出來carnation應該是一種花，而且是在母親節(jié)佩戴表示特殊意義的花。選項A文章沒有提到它就只有兩種顏色。由此可以見，本題的正確答案應為C。

　　3.On Mother's Day and Father's Day __

　　A.people usually have family parties

　　B.everyone goes to the cemetery

　　C.children always go to parents' home

　　答案：A

　　【解析】采用排除法逐一看選項。文章中提到“On these days families get together at homes…”可以看出在這些節(jié)日經(jīng)常舉行家庭聚會，文章中只提到父母死了的兒女才會去公墓，選項B是錯誤的，選項c文章沒有談到。

　　4.what do you think "florists" do?

　　A.They sell flowers.

　　B.They make bread.

　　C.They sell clothes for Mother' s Day and Father' s Day.

　　答案：A

　　【解析】題目要我們推測flofists是干什么的。通過詞語的構詞形式我們很容易想到flower這個詞語。而且，文章之前已經(jīng)提到了母親節(jié)需要戴花，而這個節(jié)日里能夠做很多生意的當然也是少不了花店。由此可以見.本題的正確答案應為A。
