　　In America Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.

　　I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.

　　It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.

　　Anna was born on May 1,1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister”, which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.

　　After she became an adult, Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington D.C. Then, in 1906, just two weeks after Anna's 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.

　　In the months that followed, Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.

　　After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother's Daychurch service, on May10, 1908, in Crafton, West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna's mother had lived, made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

(1)Which answer is right about Mother's Day?

[　　]

A. In America, Mother's Day is a new holiday.

B. More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother's Day.

C. In America, Mother's Day is on the second Sunday in May.

D. Throughout the world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day.

(2)Choose the right explanation of the word“observance”in the last paragraph.

[　　]

A. remark made by people

B. action in accordance with custom

C. performance of certain tradition

D. notice paid widely

(3)How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother's Day in West Virginia?

[　　]

A. From May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911.

B. For more than four years.

C. For more than three years.

D. For about three years.

(4)Choose the right understanding of this passage.

[　　]

A. Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.

B. Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.

C. Anna's mother's death had done a little damage to her easy life.

D. The mother's day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday, but a day with special meaning.

(5)According to the passage, what most probably happened in the paragraph following it?

[　　]

A. The United States Congress proclaimed the Second Sunday in May as Mother's Day forever in the United States.

B. Mother's Day gradually became a commercial celebration.

C. Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.

D. People stopped buying candy to their mothers.

閱讀理解。
     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投訴) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
