It may seem as if Mother’s Day was invented by a company named Hallmark， but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout-out to Mom for a long time. The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals—although their celebrations didn’t involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday， which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April， young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.
Mother’s Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis， a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers’ Work Days” to promote health and hygiene（衛生） at home and in the workplace.
Jarvis’s work inspired another 19th-century woman， Julia Ward Howe. In 1870， Howe published her “Mother’s Day Proclamation”， which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace.
It was Jarvis’s daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died， in May 1905， Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of John Wanamaker， the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer， and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother’s Day. Two years later， President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday. It wasn’t long， though， before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism， not profit，” she said.
8. The first paragraph suggests that ____.
A. mothers didn’t get enough appreciation
B. Mother’s Day was invented by Hallmark
C. young people returned to their mothers’ houses
D. Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother’s Day
9. Who plays the most important role in creating Mother’s Day？
A. John Wanamaker. B. Julia Ward Howe. C. Woodrow Wilson. D. Anna Jarvis.
10. Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother’s Day at last？
A. Because it was an emotional day.
B. Because the festival was not profitable.
C. Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.
D. Because the day was buried under greeting cards and candy.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A. The Objection to Mother’s Day
B. The Argument on Celebrating Mother’s Day
C. The Story Behind the Creation of Mother’s Day
D. Different Form of Celebrations on Mother’s Day
