6.People 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.On these days people show love and respect(尊敬)for parents.They raise their children and help them to be responsible(负责任的)people.They give love and care.These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother's Day people wear carnations(康乃馨).A red one is a symbol of a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people join in religious(宗教的)services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days families get together at home,as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues(户外烧烤)for Father]s Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

For international travelers,the lessons are the greatest.Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is a risk.It teaches people to see more and people can go beyond one land,one country,and one set way of thinking and doing things.
International travel opens up the mind with different cultures.Travelers see how different people do things in different lands.While this experience is exciting for adults,children get the greatest insights(洞察力) during the international exploration.It will help to form their understanding from a very young age.It wll help them understand that differences among people and cultures can be quite exciting and wonderful in its own way.Fashion,art,science,transportation,religion(宗教),geography,geology(地质学) and social studies are all areas of learning outside of the books when traveling in foreign countries.There is no other way that can teach so much information in such a shorttime.
You can learn more from travel than from any other educational experience.If you take no notice of everything you see,then surely you will learn nothing at all.But,if you are curious enough to look for new experiences through travel,you can learn more than from any course in any university on the earth!
