11.In the United States,Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May.It was back in 1908when a woman named Anna Jarvis created this unofficial holiday to honor mothers.Traditionally,children and husbands honor mothers of all ages by buying flowers,cards and other gifts or taking them to dinner in a nice restaurant.But today,we instead will talk about some expressions that use the word"mother".Some cultures believe Mother Earth gave birth to everything that exists on our planet.In Greek mythology,a goddess named Gaia was the great mother of all.She was said to have created the Earth and the Universe.Mother Nature is a little different.This term relates to the natural world as if it were a woman.
The mother lode(矿脉) comes from mining.It means a place where the largest amount of gold,silver,or anything else of value can be found.But now,the term mother lode means a rich supply of anything.We often use the word"strike"with this expression.For example,you might say," she just graduated from college and struck the mother lode with her new job!"
When we call something"the mother of all",it means it is the biggest or best of something.Here is an example:we are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend.So you'd better come on time!
You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving.Not so.For example,a boy who is"tied to his mother's apron strings(裙带)"is controlled by his mother.We can also call him a"mama's boy".Both of these terms are even more impolite,especially if you are talking about an adult man.

点评 本文是一个历史文化类阅读理解,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
The first and perhaps most important step toward finding the courage you need to open up is to know what your emotion is.You will need to explain your feelings and emotions to the person you are opening up to,and it's truly challenging to name the emotion that you feel deep inside.If you are able to do that,you will see that other people will find it a lot easier to understand and accept the things you have to say.We connect with others through emotions and language.
Another important thing you need to do is to spend more time with other people.Not only will you feel more familiar with them,but you will also learn their reactions,making it a lot easier to find common ground.People react differently to unusual or even shocking news,and when you spend more time with the one who is about to receive the news,you will create an emotional and mental connection with them,meaning that it will be slightly more difficult for them to react negatively.
People are not mind-readers,and we all know how complex the human mind and emotions can get.Not even those who have been close to you for decades are able to know what's going on in your mind,and you should never expect them to be able to.Nobody knows for sure what you want,and only a few people are even curious to find out.Share your experiences,emotions,desires and plans with the other person,rather than waiting for them to guess what is happening deep inside you.
The final tip is to simply relax.It often happens that we create worst possible situations deep inside our minds-situations that remain there most of the time,while the reality is totally different.Make sure never try to assume the feelings,thoughts or emotions of other people-you may be terribly wrong.Let them speak for themselves before drawing any conclusions!
These are the most important tips to carefully consider before opening up to someone about a serious emotional matter.
