Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas.
Mother's Day originated(起源)in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as in the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid(液体的)Medicine for Mother” tells us the filial virtue(美德)of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother's love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must(必须做的事) in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations（康乃馨） are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.
( )26. Mother's Day spread to China _______.
A. in the 1920s B. in the 1980s
C. in the Western Han Dynasty D. in the Tang Dynasty
( )27. The underlined word “filial” means _______ in Chinese.
A. 孝顺的 B. 叛逆的 C. 诚实的 D. 服从的
( )28. The poem Song of the Parting Son is mainly about ______.
A. the filial virtue of Emperor Wen
B. caring for the old
C. traditional Chinese medicine
D. a mother's love for her son
( )29. Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of _______.
A. its wide spread in many countries
B. our ancient stories of respecting parents
C. our traditional cultural values
D. its simple way of expressing love
( )30. What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be _______.
A. a big dinner
B. a celebration party
C. greetings of the festival
D. expensive presents
