B People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers 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 - 3 - 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 (康康乃乃馨馨). A red one symbolizes (象象征征) 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 (烤烤肉肉) 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 o wn 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 companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. 5.
