A(4%)
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s D ay. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is ‘the thought that counts’. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
61. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A. Parents bring up children.
B. Parents give love and care to children.
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up.
62. What do you know from the passage?
A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are in May.
B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.
C. Not all the children respect their parents.
D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.
63. A. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?
A. It only has two kinds of color.
B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
C. It’s kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.
64. What do you think “florists ” do?

What is to prevent me keeping all the money left and claiming that the robber had taken it?” Just then a tall and strong man walked in, wearing a mask. “This is a holdup!” the man said. Roughly, taking a gun from his pocket and stepping over to George’s cage. “All right, hand it over!”
“Yes, sir,” said George. “Would you like it in ten-or twenty-dollar bills?”
“Just hand it over!” said the robber. George took all the bills from the top section close to six thousand dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned to leave. Then, while everyone was watching the robber, George calmly lifted off the top section of the cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets. The door swung and the robber was gone. George fell down and fainted. When he came to he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. “I’m all right,” he stated bravely.
“You might just as well go home, George.” Mr. Bell, the chief accountant, said.
As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and counted it. Seven thousand dollars!
The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business, but everyone was there, helping to check the bank’s accounts. George was called into Mr. Burrows’ office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. “George,” he said, “I want you to meet Mr. Charles, who used to be president of our bank.”
“Good morning, Ge orge,” said the former president. “I was extremely sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all right now?”
“Yes, sir, just fine, thanks.”
“I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days, I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes.”
“I don’t understand,” said George. “What game?”
The old man laughed and quickly took out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, “All right. Hand it over!” Mr. Burrows laughed but George didn’t.
“And the money?” George asked in a faint voice.
“Don’t worry,” Mr. Charles said. “I put it all back in your cashbox--- all six thousand. We’re just finishing up the check-up now.” Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell put his head into the room. “Mr. Burrows,” he said gravely, “may I see you a moment?”
