It is celebrated(庆祝)in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mothers day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts(礼物)of love to their mothers.Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨)， while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mothers Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mothers Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪恶轰炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.41. Mothers Day .

Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).England is the largest, most populous (人口众多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不满的), and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(国会). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠诚于) to the Crown(英国王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.46.

The welsh第二节 阅读回答问题(10 marks)阅读下面短文，根据题目具体要求，尽可能简要回答问题。Summer Holidays in EnglandWith July come examinations. When these exams finish, the summer holidays begin. Boys and girls will have two months to rest.The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that they can spend most of their time in swimming, camping or travelling with their parents.Of course, the most enjoyable place is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea. They enjoy exceptional (得天独厚的) advantages. As for those who live far from the sea, their parents will also take them to the seaside for the holidays, for they know that a week or two at a seaside town during summer holidays is their childrens eager(渴望) hope. In England not only the rich, but also factory workers or bus drivers can take their children to seaside for their holidays. In fact during the August Holidays most towns are almost empty.Why do children like spending their summer holidays at the seaside? It is because they like the sand, the sun, the cool wind and the salty water there more than anything else. Of course there are many new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of cool wind and salt water on ones skin, and of the warm sun on ones back that make the seaside what it is.51.
