when you are allowed to eat or do whatever you have given up for lent. not surprisingly, families came together and took the opportunity to party with a big meal at which mothers were treated as the guests of honor. traditionally, mothers were given flowers and a cake. the term mothering sunday is no longer used nowadays and has mostly been replaced by mothers day.in the usa there were several attempts to introduce a mothers day as a way to celebrate peace and heal the scars of war. julia ward suggested the idea in 1872. but the idea didnt really take off until anna jarvis campaigned for the establishment of a mothers day to commemorate her own mother who died in 1905. wards mother herself had tried to establish a similar holiday, mothers friendship day, to heal the pain of the civil war.the first mothers day in the usa was held in 1907 when julia ward held a ceremony to honor her mother. she then successfully campaigned for a formal holiday to honor mothers and by 1911 most states had taken up the idea. this was followed in 1914 by a declaration by president woodrow wilson that mothers day should be celebrated as a national holiday on the second sunday in may. the idea quickly spread to canada and mexico and many more countries throughout the word.the commercialization(商业化)of mothers day quickly followed. anna jarvis was arrested in 1923 at a mothers day festival for trying to stop women selling flowers. anna jarvis said,“i wanted it to be a day of sentiment(感情)not profit.”anna jarvis campaigned for many years against the commercialization of mothers day, which she had worked so hard to establish. although she had no children of her own, each mothers day anna received hundreds of cards from all over the world. anna jarvis died in 1948.60. according to the first paragraph, lent should be a time during which_. a. children ought to cook in place of their mother b. people treat their mothers as a guest of honor c. people are not allowed to do whatever they want to d. people do not eat certain foods or do certain things61. several people in the states once tried to introduce mothers day in order to _. a. reduce peoples emotional suffering from the civil war b. make people respect their mothers and others c. thank mothers for their contribution during the war d. honor their mothers for their love of the family62. what made anna jarvis unhappy was that_. a. many people sent only flowers to their mothers b. many people tried to make a profit from mothers day c. no children expressed thanks to her on mothers day d. many countries refused to introduce mothers day63. what would be the best title for the passage? a. how to celebrate mothers day b. the importance of mothers day c. inventors of mothers day d. the origin of mothers daycthe national center for health statistics estimates that as much as 18 percent of the american teenage population between the ages of 12 and 19 could be considered obese, with many more being overweight and in danger of developing obesity. in order to prevent becoming part of this statistics, or to remove yourself from this statistic, there are several things you can do as a teenager to start developing positive habits for a long and healthy life.healthy and balanced dietone of the most important ways to stay fit during your teenage years is eating both a balanced and healthy diet. this can be done through eating from each of the major food groups as defined by the united states department of agriculture with most of your calories coming from fruits and vegetables, along with smaller amounts whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy. stay away from energy drinks, soda, candy, and other foods and drinks high in sugar or caffeine(咖啡因). while its important to watch your calories and portions sizes, avoid the diets that limit calories consumption(消耗量) below 1,500 calories or overly limit the types of foods you can eat.aerobic exerciseanother important aspect of staying healthy is aerobic exercise. this includes activities such as running, jogging, playing sports, hiking, swimming, biking and any other activity that increases your heart rate and burns calories. the center for disease control and prevention recommends that all teenagers get at least an hour of activity each day of the wee. as you grow older this can be reduced to 140 minutes a week.strength trainingstrength training also plays an important role in exercises that keep your body fit and healthy. the center for disease control and prevention recommends that children and teenagers include strengthen-training activities in their exercise routines at least three days a week. strength training can come in many forms ranging from simple exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups or pull-ups, or you can use free weights or weight machines. remember to hit all the major muscle groups over the course of the three days including the back, arms, legs, shoulders and so on for the best results.64.

manner of hats. have manners changed? sincerely, gentdear gent,youre correct that, traditionally, men should remove their hats in restaurants to show manners. the reason was that a mans hat was designed to protect him from the dust, so it might be dirty. women, on the other hand, traditionally kept their hats on when dining out. their hats were designed to be unique and eye-catching, and
