一圆的半径为3,圆心到直线的距离为4,则该直线与圆的位置关系是 ( ) A.相切 B. 相交 C. 相离 D. 以上都不对 答案:CPeople in the United States honor their parents with
two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day,
on the third Sunday in June.
Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national
observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West
Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one
who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a
carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought
of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father,
William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a
family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was
observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father’s
Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.
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 special days are celebrated in many
different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a
living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor
parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the
cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in
restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days
of fun and good feelings and memories.
