公共英語三級考試閱讀練習二：

In shopping malls, the assistants try to push you into buying "a gift to thank her for her unselfish love". When you log onto a website, a small pop-up invites you to book a bouquet for her.Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.

1 The popularity of Mother' s Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more enough to make her horrified.

2 They buy, among other things,132 million cards. Mother's Day is the No.1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother' s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother' s Day even got her arrested--for disturbing the peace, interestingly.

3 As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian, observed, traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it' s right. " But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better.

4 So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.

5 According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.

So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother' s Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people. "

A. According to a research by the US card company Hallmark,96 percent of American consumers celebrate the holiday.

B. But what's more, commercialism changes young people's attitude towards motherhood.

C. Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.

D. The American version of Mother's Day was thought up as early as 1905, by Anna Jarvis, as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.

E. In addition, women are being encouraged to pursue any career they desire.

F. As a result, motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s.

G. Nowadays Mother's Day become more and more commercialization.

參考譯文

在購物商場里，售貨員極力向你推銷，“買一件禮物去感謝她無私的愛吧。”當你登錄到一個網(wǎng)站的時候，一個彈出式菜單要你為她訂一束花。在這個五月份特別的星期天里，洋溢著充

滿商業(yè)化的熱情和感激的氣氛。

美國版本的母親節(jié)在1905年由賈維斯提出，作為一種認同母愛真正價值的方式。母親節(jié)在全世界的流行表明賈維斯成功達到了目的。事實上，她得到的還要多，多得使她感到害怕。

根據(jù)美國賀曼卡片公司的調查顯示，96%的美國消費者在慶祝這個節(jié)日。在各種商品之中，卡片的銷售量達到l_32億張。母親節(jié)的鮮花銷售量在所有節(jié)日中住列第一。還有其他各種各樣

的商品，從珠寶、衣服到化妝品、洗衣粉，都利用這個機會提高銷售量。由于這個原因，賈維斯在她生命的最后40年中一直努力阻止慶祝母親節(jié)。有趣的是，在一次抵制母親節(jié)商業(yè)化的抗議

中，她竟然以破壞和平的名義被捕。

并且，商業(yè)化使得年輕人改變了做母親的態(tài)度。正如英國報紙《衛(wèi)報》記者勞爾夫·斐吾爾評論的一樣，傳統(tǒng)意義上“選擇做母親是因為我們認為這是正確的”。但從商業(yè)邏輯看來，人們

需要一些東西來交換由此而付出的時間和精力。一份事業(yè)更適合這個目標。

另外，女性被鼓勵去追求任何她們想要的事業(yè)。因此她們努力工作。努力玩。然而成為一個母親就不可避免地會阻礙事業(yè)的發(fā)展。

結果是，女性地位自20世紀50年代以來有了巨大的下降。據(jù)《衛(wèi)報》報道，當今沒有孩子的年輕女性是上一代的兩倍。或者她們把做母親的責任推遲到更晚一些。

于是斐吾爾寫道，慶祝母親節(jié)的意義需要被更新。“它的意義在于說服人們去相信為人父母是一個崇高的信念，并且要尊重有意成為善者的人們。”
