核心素养提升(一) 世界奇观、节假日、英雄 这篇短文讲述的是母亲节。在母亲节这一天，孩子们都会送给妈妈礼物，但是作者觉得最好的庆祝方式是帮助妈妈做家务，让妈妈好好休息一下。阅读这篇短文，有助于加深对中外节日文化的了解，学习其背后的文化内涵，增进对传统文化的热爱。 Mother's Day is on the second Sunday in May every year. It is a day when children give their mothers cards, presents and flowers. One of the best ways to celebrate Mother's Day is to give your mother the day off. Let her have a good rest while other members of the family do the housework. Many families begin Mother's Day with breakfast in bed. Usually Dad and the children will let Mum get up late as they go into the kitchen and get ready for her favourite meal. A Mother's Day breakfast can make anything your mum likes. After the food is cooked, keep everything nicely on a plate. Don't forget to put the bottle with only one flower. It's spring here, and the children can pick the nicest flower from the garden outside. When everything is ready, carefully carry the plate and Mum's favourite books and newspapers up to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the children can be put on the plate before it is given to Mum in bed. Many families take Mum out to her favourite restaurant for a meal. They sometimes take Mum to watch a film. It is a good day to let your mum rest and let her see what a wonderful family she has. Read the passage and answer the questions： 1.
