测)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.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to 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.A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (公墓)．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value
of the gift that is important，
but it is “the thought that counts”．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year，
people play tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests(such as“Win an elephant！”)and report on fake stories(like“UFO” lands in New York City)．
Forget gifts，songs and special foods—
those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day，
the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble)．
One April Fool's Day，when I was in high school，
a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school，
in and out of classrooms and under our feet.Feathers were flying everywhere.
Teachers began running after the chickens，trying to catch them.Finally，
they caught four of them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(商标)around their necks，
and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1,2,3，and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours，
they realized that the students had played another joke on them：There were only four chickens in the first place！They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
It's been a long time since I was in high school，
but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.
