III. Read the passages and answer some questions
In the United States, people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is
celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives greeting
cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift of all for an American Mom is a day
of leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their
working day is often very hard. The working mother enjoys the traditional Mother’s Day custom
of breakfast (or lunch) cooked by her family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in the day,
it’s also traditional for the extended family group to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant
or in one of their home.
Flowers are an important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a plant
for the occasion, particularly if they are elderly.
Father’s Day is celebrated throughout the United States and Canada on the third Sunday in
June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives greeting cards and
gifts from his family and a day for leisure.
