　　Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated in the United States, England, Sweden, India, Mexico and some other countries. Little by little, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation (康乃馨), while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.

　　The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia (费城). As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular throughout the country and around the world.

　　In China, people do the same on this special day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast for his or her mother only. This might cost a small sum of money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable. ”

　　Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like ineXPensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In fact, many people in the states still go to diners today for the same reasons.

　　A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner”in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These cart served latenight workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a latenight meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.

　　Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.

　　Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large Windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.

　　Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an America tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.
