Question

【题目】 Who cooks in your family? Who cleans the clothes? Who washes the dishes? Who t【1】care of the baby? Maybe on most days, the answer would be your mother. But not on the second Sunday of May. On that day, it's you and your father.

That's because the second Sunday of May is Mother's Day. Mother's Day is a day to appreciate and give t【2】 for all the things that mothers do for the family.

One way people can do that is by doing all of her chores(家务活) for her. For example, one tradition in the US is for the father and children in a family to cook breakfast for the mother and do housework. Mothers get to be very lazy on this day. It's probably their favourite h【3】.

Another thing you can do is to give her a gift. Fathers will often buy their wives flowers or chocolates. Children often make them gifts. For example, they might draw their mom beautiful c【4】 or make a nice necklace out of candy.

But the most i【5】 thing to do on Mother's Day is to show your mother you love her. Any way you do it is fine. Sometimes, the best Mother's Day present is a hug.

【解析】

文章讲述了母亲节，母亲在家庭中要忙很多事，在美国，母亲节父亲和孩子们要帮给母亲做饭，母亲在那一天可以很懒，最重要的是在母亲节要告诉母亲你很爱她。

【1】句意：谁来照顾孩子？

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是照顾，英语中是take care of，主语是who，谓语动词应该用单数形式，所以这里应该填takes。

【2】句意：母亲节是一个感谢和感激母亲为家庭所做的一切的日子。

根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是母亲节要感激感谢母亲，give是动词，后面要接宾语，需要一个名词，英语中感谢是thank，做名词时只能用复数形式，所以这里填thanks。

【3】句意：这可能是他们最喜欢的节日。

根据句意理解可知，母亲节是一个节日，这里指的就是这个节日，英语中节日假日可以用holiday表示，这里指的是单数，所以直接填holiday。

【4】句意：他们可以给妈妈画漂亮的衣服。

根据句意理解及后句中的make a nice necklace out of candy可知，这里应该是孩子们给母亲做的一些手工礼物，画漂亮的衣服也是其中之一，英语中衣服是clothes，是复数名词，所以这里应该填clothes。

【5】句意：但是在母亲节最重要的事情是向你的母亲表明你爱她。

根据句意理解可知，爱是最重要的，这里应该指的是最重要的事情，英语中重要的是important，最重要的要在前面加most，所以这里填important。
