1. Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers. And on this day, mothers don't work. It is on the second Sunday in May. It is celebrated in the United States, England, Sweden（瑞典）, India, Mexico（墨西哥） and some other countries. Little by little, it becomes widely celebrated. On that day, many people send presents of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink（粉红的）or red rose or carnation（康乃馨）, while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.
The idea of a day for mothers was first given（被提出） by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia（费城）. The celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held（举行）in Philadelphia on May 10th, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular around the country and the world.
