【题目】 Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation（康乃馨）, while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.

【2】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一行“On May 8,1999, just the day before the Mother's Day that year”可知，1999年5月8日是那年母亲节的前一天，所以1999年母亲节是5月9日，故选C。
