每日背誦第四期24
It wasn't until 1910 that the first Mother's Day was proclaimed in the U.S. By the following year, however, each state had created its own observances, as had various nations around the world. American President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother's Day an official national holiday in 1914. Nowadays, on the second Sunday of every May, people everywhere buy flowers, give chocolates, and send cards to the women who have raised them with love, courage, and devotion.
直到1910年，第一個(gè)母親節(jié)才由美國(guó)政府宣告確立。然而第二年，美國(guó)各州仍就紀(jì)念儀式各行其是，世界各國(guó)也各自為母親節(jié)舉辦各式各樣的活動(dòng)。1914年，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)伍德羅·威爾 遜正式宣布母親節(jié)為國(guó)家假日。時(shí)至今日，在每年五月的第二個(gè)星期日，人們會(huì)用鮮花、巧克力、卡片等的禮物，送給用愛和勇氣、無私的奉獻(xiàn)撫育他們成長(zhǎng)的偉大的母親。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：聽聽媽媽的故事)
