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 a chance 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 differe nt ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father’s Day. 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, telephones companies an d other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.9.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly u nderstood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Marland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:· If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.· If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route (路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.· Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in thecountryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.12.Scientists believe that ________.A.some babies are born with a sense of directionB.people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC.people never lose their sense of directionD.everybody has a sense of direction from birth13.What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A.

They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.14. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ______.A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isC. not take the same route when you come back to itD. remember something easily recognizable on the route15.What is the main idea of this passage?A.

Everyone is born with a sense of direction and it can be improved第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
