The ld Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be utdated nw in the busy mdern wrld. The Spring Festival is regarded as the mst imprtant festival fr Chinese peple and an ccasin fr all family members t get tgether, like Christmas in the West. But many traditinal custms accmpanying the Spring Festival, hwever, have weakened in reality.
Setting ff firewrks was nce the mst typical custm f the Spring Festival. Peple thught the sputtering(噼啪声) culd help drive away evil spirits. Hwever, the activity has been cmpletely r partially frbidden in big cities fr years as the gvernment has taken security, nise and pllutin factrs int cnsideratin.
“In recent years, sme cities have begun t allw peple t light firewrks during limited hurs at the Spring Festival, surrendering t (屈从于) public demand. Respecting flk traditins is a gesture f respect tward public pinin. ” said Zhu Xing, a flklre researcher.
“As peple gain mre incme and it becmes easier t buy daily gds, the New Year hliday is just like any ther day. After lng wrkdays, many peple use the New Year hliday t take a rest, instead f visiting friends and neighbrs. The prcess f making and enjying the family dinner n the Spring Festival Eve is the mst imprtant thing. Hwever, many families wuld like t eat ut t save time and energy, ” said Li Shunzhi, a resident f Harbin, Heilngjiang.
“I enjy the hlidays very much in the cuntryside. My family has been preparing fr the Spring Festival mre than tw weeks befre the hliday, cleaning the huse, buying hliday gds and decrating the huse with paper cuttings. On New Year’s Eve, the whle family stays up t see the New Year in, and in the days t fllw, a series f activities such as lin dancing, dragn lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Withut the ancient traditins, the hliday is nthing t us, ” said Zhang Hui, frm Hebei.

It may seem as if Mther’s Day was invented by a cmpany named Hallmark, but peple have been taking time n the calendar t give a shut-ut t mm fr a lng time. The Greeks and Rmans had mther gddess festivals — althugh their celebratins didn’t invlve the menflk taking their underappreciated mthers ut t dinner. A mre recent traditin was Mthering Sunday, which develped in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the furth Sunday in April, yung men and wmen wh were living and wrking apart frm their families were advised t return t their mthers’ huses.
Mther’s Day as it is bserved in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia wman wh held “Mthers’ Wrk Days” t prmte health and hygiene(卫生) at hme and in the wrkplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis rganized wmen t imprve sanitary cnditins fr sldiers n bth sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing tgether mthers f Unin and Cnfederate sldiers and prmting a Mther’s Day hliday.
Jarvis’s wrk inspired anther 19th-century wman, Julia Ward Hwe. In 1870 Hwe published her “Mther’s Day Prclamatin”, which envisined the day nt as appreciatin f mthers by their children but as an pprtunity fr wmen t exercise their cllective pwer fr peace. Hwe started hlding annual Mther’s Day celebratins in Bstn, her hmetwn, but after abut a decade she stpped fting the bill and the traditin faded away.
It was Jarvis’s daughter Anna wh succeeded in getting Mther’s Day recgnized as a natinal hliday. After her mther died, in May 1905, Anna started hlding yearly ceremny n the anniversary and cnducting a tireless PR campaign t have the day made a hliday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the supprt f Jhn Wanamaker, the Philadelphia department stre magnate and advertising pineer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few ther states had adpted Mther’s Day. Tw years later, President Wdrw Wilsn signed a reslutin declaring the secnd Sunday in May a natinal hliday.
It wasn’t lng, thugh, befre whatever ideals the day was suppsed t celebrate were buried under an amunt f greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the hliday she had been instrumental in creating. “I wanted it t be a day f emtinalism, nt prfit, ” she said.

B. Mther’s Day was invented by Hallmark
C. yung peple returned t their mthers’ huses
D. Greeks and Rmans were the first t celebrate Mther’s Day
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的but peple have been taking time n the calendar t give a shut-ut t mm fr a lng time. The Greeks and Rmans had mther gddess festivals — althugh their celebratins didn’t invlve the menflk taking their underappreciated mthers ut t dinner. 可知, 虽然有母亲节, 但母亲们没有得到足够的感激和重视。故选A。
2. Wh plays the mst imprtant rle in creating Mther’s Day?

A. Because it was an emtinal day.
B. Because the festival was nt prfitable.

【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段可知, 举办“母亲工作日”活动, 以促进家庭和工作场所的健康和卫生。根据第三段可知, “母亲节宣言”认为母亲节不是孩子对母亲的赞赏, 而是妇女行使集体力量争取和平的机会。根据最后一段可知, 没过多久, 这一天本该庆祝理想的日子被大量的贺卡和糖果掩埋了。到了20世纪20年代, Anna Jarvis发起了反对这个节日的运动。她说: “我希望这一天是充满感情的, 而不是利益的。”由此可知, 现在的母亲节已与最初的母亲节的精神相悖, 故选C。
