However，the celebration of Mother's Day is not the recent thing that many believe it to be．It was the ancient Greeks who started the trO8adition by celebrating their annual spring festival in honor of Rhea，the mother of many gods and goddesses．
Later，in the 1600s，Mothering Sunday came to be celebrated in England．On the fourth Sunday of Lent （大斋期），children brought flowers and special fruitcakes to show their respect for their mothers．It may be the root of the modern Mother's Day．
Thanks to the great efforts of Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis，Mother's Day became an official festival in the US．It is celebrated on the second Sunday in May．Later，many countries began to celebrate this day as Mother's Day．
Today，Mother's Day is an international festival honoring mothers．It is celebrated all over the world in different ways．In Western countries，the most common way is to treat mothers with breakfast in bed．Kids often allow their mothers to sleep till late in the morning while they prepare her favorite breakfast with their fathers．Some also make handmade gifts or buy beautiful carnations （康乃馨）．It is the day when you acknowledge your mothers contribution in your life and pay a tribute （礼品） to her，often with flowers and gifts．It complements Father's Day，the celebration honoring fathers．

19．Have you ever felt like a fool for having said too much？Anita Chow had one of those moments．
A few weeks ago，she applied for a job with a company．Chow said she is usually quiet，but during the interview she tried hard to act against her nature．She smiled a lot and talked in a lively manner．When asked why she wanted to work in the company，she said the job would enable her to meet a lot of interesting people．Then she added jokingly："Who knows？I might even meet my future husband．"
Chow wanted to beat herself up the moment she stepped out of the interview room．"It  came out so wrong，"she says．"Now the interviewers will think of me as one of those women  who don't have any career ambition and just want to get married and settle down．"
Saying too much or oversharing happens to every one of us．In the time of social media，sharing every detail of your life is almost expected and encouraged．But it isn't all social  media's fault．"Experts say oversharing often happens when we are trying subconsciously to  control our anxiety，"according to a Wall Street Joumal column．Chow's is a typical case of"self-adjustment"aimed at fighting her own anxiety．It happens like this：When having a  conversation，we want to sound amusing and interesting．So we use a lot of mental energy trying   to manage the other person's impression of us．The effort required to do this leaves less  brainpower to think over what we say and to whom，says The Wall Street Joumal．
This explains why we sometimes suddenly say embarrassing things to people we want to  impress most，whether it's a first date，the boss or our future in-laws．It leads to embarrassing situations and is the perfect material for comedy movies．
So how do you stop yourself from saying too much？Simple：stop and think before you open  your mouth．

16．You are an intelligent and a good talker．You have no problem giving a wonderful report，delivering an excellent speech or participating in a political debate．You strive for meaningful conversations and have no patience for small talk．"The weather is nice，isn't it？"Really，who cares？
Although seemingly meaningless and informal，small talk is the starting point of all relationships．Romances and friendships begin with small talk．In a more pragmatic light，you can't avoid it．Getting a job，working with colleagues，winning new business partners-all of these require small talk．
Americans call it the"Gift of Gab"．Want to be successful？You'd better acquire this gift．
An article on the Forbes website lists a few reasons why small talk is so important for one's career．Not only does small talk make us more likeable； in one's career，small talk is also a"free option"．
It can lead to a host of outcomes，from a merely pleasant exchange to the signing of a multimillion-dollar business deal，says the article．
In a time when a big part of our lives has moved online，the art of small talk is mysterious．The awkward experience of feeling like a total outsider at a social function，such as a company event or a diner party，is shared by many of us．
"But don't worry，"says Elizabeth Bernstein，a relationship columnist at The Wall Street Journal，"you can learn to develop your conversational intelligence．"
First of all，remember small talk is not about communicating，it's about connecting．Bernstein advises focusing on the other person．
Bad small talkers tend to dominate the conversation．They spend too much time on their favorite topic，whether it's football or how clever their kids are．
They think they are being social because they are talking．But they are talking to somebody，not with someone．Such people often give the impression of being self-centered and inconsiderate．So no wonder they will lose good chances，like a good fortune or a rise in their positions．

3．Recently，I came across an interesting article on the differences between British English and American English．I had a lot of fun reading it and thinking of as many differences as I could as an American．
Their cars have"bonnets（发动机罩）"，while ourselves have"hoods"．They park their cars in a"car park"while we leave ours in a"parking lot"．Our"cookies"are their"biscuits"，while their"rubbers"are our"erasers"．
Then there are the food words．Would you want to eat something called"Toad in the Hole"or"Bangers and Mash"or"Spotted Dick"？I'm here to report they are all very tasty．There are American equivalents（相等物），of course．We've got"Shoofly Pie"，"Chicken Fried Steak"and"Mississippi Mud Pie"．What they call"crisps"is what we call"potato chips"and when we ask for"chips"in England we will get what we know at home in America as"French fries"．
They find it hysterical that we call the"toilet"the"bathroom"and they really double over（弯腰） with laughter when we ask for the"restroom"．American ladies in England who ask for the"little girl's room"or the"powder room"will be met with blank stares．A"fag"is a"cigarette"in the UK，which can lead to endless confusion for British visitors looking for a cigarette in America．Americans on the other hand are endlessly confused by English signs put up over doorways saying"Way Out"．We Americans walk on the sidewalk not the pavement．"Pavement"in America is the actual cement（水泥） the sidewalk is made of．
