The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. Celebrated in the US, it has also become popular in China as a way to express thankfulness to mothers with gifts and greetings. Some experts suggest China should have its own Mother’s Day, instead of “borrowing” from the US.

Tailorsas: This is not a big problem, as long as you have appreciation(感激) for your mom who raised you and offered everything that she had, every day can be a Mother’s Day. You don’t have to give her a present, just tell her you love her, care about her, go shopping with her, cook for her, even the smallest thing can be affective.

Michael: If you look at Mother’s Day, or any other day, from the standpoint of “borrowing” from America or any other country, I think the whole point of having such a day has been missed. Why not focus on honoring mothers around the world rather than worrying about “borrowing” from anyone? If Mother’s Day is American, changing the date you have it won’t make it any less. If you think like that, then, it just becomes a knockoff(冒牌)holiday.

Senorita: I think maybe it is those retail businessmen who want as many special days as possible, so that they can earn more money. On Mother’s Day, things are double the price than usual and it is super difficult to book a table for dining. Something with Chinese traditions sounds nice, but I hope the special day would light our love for mothers, instead of following the fashion and fall into the trap(圈套) dug by businessmen.

Francisco: It doesn’t matter if we have our own day as long as you show your love to your mom. When I grew up, especially when I became a mother, I realized how much my mom has sacrificed(牺牲) selflessly and how great she really is! Mothers deserve not only our respect but also our care and love as well. We Chinese like to keep everything to ourselves, even though we love deep in our hearts. We, more often than not, don’t express it directly. In this regard, we should learn from Americans. Say “I love you” whenever you feel it and give her a hug or have a heart-to-heart chat or do some housework. What you can give your mother is not very important at all. What matters is that you should do something to show your love, not just on Mother’s Day.

1.The underlined word “affective” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A.warm B.common

C.reasonable D.international

2.What can we infer from Francisco’s words?

A.She thinks highly of Mother’s Day in the US.

B.She is all for creating a Chinese Mother’s Day.

C.She is opposed to celebrating Mother’s Day with Americans in the world.

D.She thinks it’s important to show love to mothers no matter what day it is.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.“Borrowing” Mother’s Day from the US is really a big problem.

B.Businessmen may benefit greatly from the Chinese Mother’s Day.

C.Honoring mothers around the world will lead to a knockoff holiday.

D.Chinese like to express the feeling of love for their mothers directly.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Does Mother’s Day really matter?

B.Do people really need Mother’s Day?

C.Does China need its own Mother’s Day?

D.Do we need to change the date of Mother’s Day?
