Although it wasn’t celebrated in the U. S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece.【T2】______
Later, in the 1600’s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday".【T3】______On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.
Mother’s Day was first suggested in the United States in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace. In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’ s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’ s death, the 2nd Sunday of May. The next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother’s Day. 【T4】______President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’ s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
【T5】______Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother’ s Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U. S.

C. Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times throughout the year.
D. They were successful.
E. It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday.

解析
根据空格前“Later,in the 1600’s,in England there was an annual observance called‘Mothering Sunday’.(后来,在17世纪初的英格兰,一年一度的‘省亲节’形成)”,以及空格后“On Mothering Sunday,the servants,who generally lived with their employers,were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers.(通常在省亲节那一天,与雇主住在一起的仆人们被劝回家和他们的母亲团聚。)”两者相联系,可知E符合逻辑。
