With the commercialization of so many holidays, we often forget the true meaning of the day we are celebrating. The National Retail Federation estimated that in 2018, the average person spent more than $180 on Mother’s Day with a total forecast at over $23 billion spent on the day. Mother’s Day, the day to honor the special women in our lives, was initially created as something very different.

The origins of Mother’s Day can date back to ancient Greek and Roman times when festivals honored the

mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Later, 16th century England celebrated Mothering Sunday with

celebrations on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In America, our tradition began in 1908 with a woman named Anna Jarvis. While not a mother herself, she established the day to honor her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who had passed away three years before.

This commitment to pay honor to and help other women ran in the Jarvis family. Living in West Virginia before the Civil War, Ann had an idea for a community-service based program to help mothers in need of assistance. This concept developed into the Mother’s Day Work Clubs, a program that taught women how to ……○ __○…___……___…_…__…：…号…订考_订_…__…_…___……___……：级…○班○_…___……___…_…__…_…：名…装姓装…___…_…__…_…___……_:校…○学○……………………外内……………………○○……………………care for their children.

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother’s Day an official holiday. The yearly celebration would take place on the second Sunday in May. Anna’s original idea of Mother’s Day was a day to honor her mother Ann, but once it became a nationally recognized day, things changed dramatically. The idea of celebrating mom on Mother’s Day caught on quickly and became heavily commercialized with cards and flowers.

After seeing a Mother’s Day Salad on the menu in the John Wanamaker tearoom(茶馆) in Philadelphia in the early 1900s, Anna realized the day had become nothing but a marketing scheme. She then began to hold protests, and demand face-to-face meetings with the president.

In the end, she spent decades fighting a no-win battle to claim back the day as her own using every penny of hers. She died at age 84 in 1948, blind and alone in a hospital. 8. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Mother’s Day became an official holiday ② England celebrated Mothering Sunday ③ Mother’s Day became heavily commercialized ④ Anna Jarvis established Mother’s Day A. ④①②③ B. ④②③① C. ②④①③

D. ②④③①

9. Why did Anna hold protests?

A. Because she hoped to meet with the president. B. Because Mother’s Day had been heavily commercialized.

C. Because Mother’s Day Salad appeared on the menu without her permission. D. Because she would fight a no-win battle to claim back the day as her own.
