| People in the United States honour 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 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. |

| The Notting Hill Camival (诺丁山狂欢节) has been taking 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.

| On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the festival of Thanksgiving. This 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. |

| Valentine's Day is a holiday honouring lovers. It is named 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. |

| A. Girls put into a large container pieces of paper with their own names on them. 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. |
| 3. What can be inferred from the passage? |
| A. Printing a message to show one's love in USA Today will cost 80 dollars or more. 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. |
| 4. What is the purpose of the passage? |
