         The 17. B. second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. It is a 18. C. public holiday in both Britain and America. On that day, children send Mother’s Day cards to their mothers. They give their 19. D. mothers flowers or sweets as presents. Fathers and children do the cooking so that mothers can have a 20. A. rest.

          In the USA, Mother’s Day 21. A. started in 1860s.. There was a small town called Pruntytown in the middle of the USA. People in the town fought against each other 22. D. during a war. After the war, they hated each other. Mrs Ann Reeves Janis wanted the people to make 23. D friends with each other again. So she started “Mother’s Friendship Day”. On that day, she visited 24. D. all the other mothers in the town and said, “Let us be friends with each other again”. Her idea succeeded. The same thing happened in other parts of the country. After she died, her daughter carried on her idea. In 1908, “Mother’s Friendship Day” became “Mother’s Day”.
