The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children．On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special．
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington．A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon（布道）in 1909．Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her．It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man．Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910．
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day．Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died．
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card．Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental（感伤的）．Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them．Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad．
1．The United States is special in Father’s Day because ______．
A．many people celebrate the day B．only America celebrates the day
C．America makes it an official day D．all men are honored in America
2．At first, Father’s Day was fixed on June 19th because ______．
A．Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthday
B．Sonora’s birthday was June 19
C．it was decided by the president at that time
D．her mother died on June 19
3．How many years had passed before Father’s Day became an official day since the father’s day was celebrated?
A．4 B．10 C．14 D．24
4．According to the passage, on Father’s Day, ______．
A．people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers
B．only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathers
C．children must go home to honor their fathers
D．fathers are often honored in different ways

Some animals apparently can resist cancer by strengthening their immune nervous system in preparation for winter，John Hopkins researchers said on Wednesday.
The scientists said their study was the first to show that the central nervous system，reacting to environmental changes，may spark changes in the body’s immune system(免疫系统) that control the growth of tumors.They said if that was the case，a better understanding of how the process works eventually could lead to new cancer treatments.
Dr.Randy Nelson，an associate professor of psychology at Hopkins，stressed at a meeting of the Society of Neuroscience that further study would be needed to confirm a connection between the length of the day，the animals’ immune system and cancer.More work also would be needed to show that the findings could be applied to human cancer.
Dr.Faye Austin，an immunologist with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda，said，“It’s a very intriguing observation that the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor.But I think that the draws really need further work to clarify the mechanics.”
But Austin said the findings were surprising and important，only because they open up a new approach for research.
Studies showed that stress weakened the immune system in animals.They figured that because winter is stressful，the season probably causes exertion (影响) on the immune system.
The researchers reasoned that animals that compensated by boosting (促进) their immune systems as winter approached would have a better chance of surviving and producing offspring.
“In the same way that animals have evolved to select the best time to breed，it struck me that animals ought to be able to predict when conditions would be challenging immunologically.”Nelson said.
1．Dr.Nelson has drawn a conclusion that ________.
A．there is a relation between the length of the day，the animal’s immune system and cancer
B．the findings of animals’ resistance to cancer can be applied to human cancer treatments
C．the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor
D．there is a new approach for studying the function of central nervous system in the body’s immune system
2．Which season can strengthen the immune system in animals?
A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.
3．On which of the following subjects can essays be presented at the meeting of the Society of Neuroscience?
A．The nervous system.
B．The treatment of cancer.
C．The ability to produce offspring.
D．The control of the growth of tumors.
