问题             Happy Father’s Day
    The idea for Father’s Day started in 1901. A woman named Sonora Dodd thought about starting a Father’s Day holiday while she was listening to a Mother’s Day speech at church. She wanted a special day to give her father,William Smart. Mr Smart’s wife died while she was giving birth to their sixth child. He raised the baby and his other five children on a farm.
    When she became an adult, Sonora Dodd understood how kind and loving her father had been while he was raising his six children alone. She believed her father had worked very hard to make sure his children grew up healthy and strong. Sonora’s father was born in June. So she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration(庆祝) on June 19th, 1910.
    Since 1966 the third Sunday in June has become a national Father’s Day in America.  In early times,people wore red roses to show respect for fathers who were still living and white flowers for fathers who had died. Today, Americans celebrate Father’s Day in many different ways. However the holiday is celebrated, the idea is for children to let their father know that he is loved.
Early Americans wore flowers to show respect for their fathers.
选项 A、Right.
B、Wrong.
C、Doesn’t say.
答案A
解析 题句意为“以前的美国人戴花来向他们的父亲表示尊敬”。短文第三段第二句指出，以前美国人戴红玫瑰向健在的父亲、戴白花向已故的父亲表示敬意，综合起来就是题句的意思．因此题句是对的。
