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 child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations (康乃馨). A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the 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. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues (烤肉) for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give carols 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 panies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.5.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents?A.Their parents bring them up.B.Their parents give love and care to them.C.Their parents educate them to be good persons.D.Their parents passed away before they grew up.6.What do you learn from the passage?A.Mothers Day and Fathers 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.7.Which do you think is RIGHT about “carnation”?A.It only has two kinds of colour.B.It refers the special clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C.Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D.People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in MayC Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old.

When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right （方向）and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are ing, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.12.Dogs who help blind people must learn.A. to obey all ordersB. to obey only safe ordersC. never to cross roadsD. to cross road when ordered to do so13.Race horses are hard to train because they are.A. faster than other horsesB. smaller than other horsesC. clever than other horseD. more nervous than other horses14.Lions can be photographed easily when.A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to themB. they are returning to their familiesC. they have been trained to work with other animalsD. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby15.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.
