Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.

Make Your Mama Proud

　　What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.

　　What's Her Favorite?

　　Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.

　　The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.

　　The Memories

　　Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.

　　Be Her

　　What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.

　　Treat a Queen

　　Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.

　　Make-Over Beauty

　　Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.

　　Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!

　　Have Some of Your Time

　　It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.

　　Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,  a school teacher asked the youth his name.

"J.C., "he replied.

She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second?  year student,  in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet,  Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,  and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,  event by event. He did try,  and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens? victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.

"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn?t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."

Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either.In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.

"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later."But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."

In time,  however,  his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said."Time has stood still for me.That golden moment dies hard."

Owens got his other name "Jesse" when.

A.　he went to Ohio State University    

B.　his teacher made fun of him

C.　his teacher took "J. C."for "Jesse"

D.　he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet

　In the Big Ten meet，Owens.

A.　hurt himself in the back                B.　succeeded in setting many records

C.　tried every sports event but failed   D.　had to give up some events

　We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because.

A.　he was not of the right race

B.　he was the son of a poor farmer

C.　he didnˊt shake hands with Hitler

D.　he didnˊt  talk to the US president on the phone

When Owens says "They have kept me alive over the years ",he means that the medals.

A.　have been changed for money to help him live on

B.　have made him famous in the US

C.　have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

D.　have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

What would be the best title for the text?

A.　Jesse Owens,  A Great American Athlete

B.　Golden Moment — A Life?time Struggle

C.　Making A Living As A Sportsman

D.　How To Be A Successful Athlete

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their

friends. They believe that their family members,  especially their parents,  don’t

know them as well as their friends do. In large families,  it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only turn to their friends for advice.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends,  they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up,  because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
