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，第一個母親節(jié)才由美國政府宣告確立。然而第二年，美國各州仍就紀(jì)念儀式各行其是，世界各國也各自為母親節(jié)舉辦各式各樣的活動。1914年，美國總統(tǒng)伍德羅·威爾 遜正式宣布母親節(jié)為國家假日。時至今日，在每年五月的第二個星期日，人們會用鮮花、巧克力、卡片等的禮物，送給用愛和勇氣、無私的奉獻(xiàn)撫育他們成長的偉大的母親。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：聽聽媽媽的故事)
