    Father’s Day

    Father’s Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother’s Day,which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time.

    Father’s Day was first celebrated by Americans　36　it was inspired by (受启发) the actions of a man named William Smart.He was a veteran (退伍军人) of the US Civil War and his wife　37　away giving birth to their sixth child.He　38　six children alone without remarrying,which was undoubtedly　39　back in those days.

    His daughter,Sonora Dodd,　40　when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his

    　41　.It was in the early 1900s and she was actually　42　one day,listening to a sermon (传教) on

    　43　.She thought there should　44　be a Father’s Day celebration.

    And so the　45　was born,on the third Sunday every June,close to the anniversary (周年) of Sonora’s father’s death.Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated　46　since the 1970s.

    Father’s Day is never quite such a big commercial event　47　Mother’s Day is,probably because it hasn’t been in　48　for so long.But what do British people do for Father’s Day?

    Well,most people would buy their fathers a card.The card would probably have a nice message in it　49　what a great Dad their father is.Some people do buy presents as well.

    　50　gifts for Dads are probably ties,chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can　51　use even if they don’t want them.In the run­up (即将来到之际) to Father’s Day,or indeed Mother’s Day,there will be adverts (广告) on TV giving　52　ideas of CDs or gadgets (小玩具,小玩意) we can buy.Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar merchandise (商品) with “World’s Greatest Dad”　53　on them.

    Some families　54　do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal.As a special treat,British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest,　55　him a cup of tea,or even wash his car and mow the lawn (除草) to make him feel really appreciated.

    　　It was in 1865 that two Frenchmen were looking into the future．Edouard de Laboulaye, who studied history, admired the United States greatly．Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a famous artist．De Laboulaye was thinking about 1876, when the country he respected so much would celebrate its 100th birthday．What gift would be good enough for the people of France to give?Right away, Bartholdi thought of a giant statue．

    　　Bartholdi kept thinking about a statue for several years．Then, in 1871, he visited the United States and saw the perfect place for a huge statue．It was Bedloe's Island in New York．

    　　The project－the Statue of Liberty－got started almost immediately, and Bartholdi went home to France to begin work．However, the statue was not finished in time for the 100th birthday．The United States Congress approved(批准)the use of Bedloe's Island on February 22, 1877．During the 100th celebration in 1876, the arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia．In 1879 the huge head was put on display in France．For the face of the statue, Bartholdi used his mother as a model．

    　　The statue was finally completed in 1884．The work had been difficult enough, but then some really hard work began．The statue had to be taken apart and packed into boxes．It was not until May 1885 that the statue－in pieces－left France for its new home．

    　　The statue arrived in June．However, the Americans fell behind on their part of the project．They hadn't raised enough money for building the base of the statue．People wondered if the country really needed or wanted such a gift．Finally, though, the money was raised and the base was completed．The last piece of the statue was put in place on October 28, 1886．

    　　As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods．“The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse．If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气)of airy acceptance．It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk．” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while．

    　　We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索)．Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today．History seemed to be mostly about explorers．Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind：something usually came up along the way．Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound．

    　　Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were．If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical：the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees．There were four or five trees that we visited regularly－tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in．

    　　It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end．By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期)．In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring．We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree．Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria．
