Miss Jarvis started her campaign in 1906 in her home city Philadelphia. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen(国会议员), city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers, proposing(提议)an official holiday for mothers. She traveled all over America, trying to get support for the idea. Her battle went on for years. In 1914 the Congress declared(宣布)the second Sunday in May each year as Mothers Day. Anna Jarvis wanted Mothers Day to be a simple event. She thought children could honour their mothers by spending some time with them as an act of love and respect. However, the holiday turned out to be a major event for department stores, flower shops and greeting-card industries, which Miss Jarvis didnt like. Americans spend millions of dollars on gifts for their mothers on this day. Younger children often try to prepare and serve breakfast for their mothers. Fathers may offer to take care of children so that mothers can enjoy themselves. The holiday becomes an important time for family gathering. 【语篇概述】你知道母亲节是哪一天吗? 你知道第一个要求设立母亲节假日的美国妇女是谁吗? 阅读本篇了解一下吧! 5.

But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones wont reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system. Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading ring tones, etc. , so it is evident that cell phone viruses are a threat as well. Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to“see”one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise(伪装), such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims(受害人)to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Thank goodness. 【语篇概述】互联网时代改变了人们的生活, 可是人们在上网的时候最害怕的就是让自己的设备感染上病毒。这些病毒寄宿于应用软件上, 随着人们的手机操作系统趋同, 手机受到病毒的危害的可能性更大。9. What is the passage mainly about? A. The operating system of cell phones. B.
