Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to help greeting card companies sell more cards. However,when Father’s Day was first suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.
The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day. In 1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States. One day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington. was listening to a church talk about setting aside a day to honor one’s mother. It gave her the idea to propose a day to honor fathers,and in particular,her own father-William Jackson Smart.
Mr. Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after Sonora’s mother died in childbirth. As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. Her father made all the parental sacrifices. In the daughter’s eves. her father was a courageous,selfless,and loving man.
Mrs. Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to fathers on June 5. her father’s birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19. It took about a year of working with politicians,religious leaders,businessmen and the local Young Men’s Christian Association to bring life to her idea of an annual Father’s Day. Eventually all her hard work paid off. On June 19,1910,the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane,Washington.
In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June. Since then,fathers have been honored and recognized by their families throughout the U. S. on that date.
Father’s Dav has become a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day. It’s also another day for greeting card companies and shop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts for Dad(shirts,ties,and electric shavers)increase considerably.
Mrs. Dodd loved her father because he______.

A、had a large family

细节题。题干大意:Dodd为什么热爱她的父亲?从第三段可以看出,Dodd的父亲是如何辛苦地养活自己的子女的,且最后一句提到,在孩子们的眼里父亲是个勇敢的、无私的、充满着爱的男子汉。因此D项是正确选项。

有人说科学研究是有禁区的,这是错误的。科学是关于客观世界及其规律性的知识体系,它随着社会实践发展而不断发展。凡是社会实践所涉及的客观世界的一切领域,都需要科学去探索、去研究。因而科学研究绝无禁区。如果说科学研究有禁区,就等于承认客观世界有不许接触、不能探索
