Mother's Day the 2nd Sunday in May (Universally) Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbled "I Love You"s. The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England. During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch. As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe would hold organized Mother's Day meetings in Boston, Mass ever year. In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. 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. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May

内容简介：为什么百老汇剧场里价格越高的位置卖得越火？为什么100万美元带来的愉悦感，400万美元才能让它翻倍？为什么议价时，一定要抢先报价，而且一定要“狮子大开口”？
在本书中，畅销书作家威廉•庞德斯通揭示了价值的隐性心理学。在心理学实验里，人们无法准确地估计“公平价格”，反而受到无意识、不理性、政治等不正确因素的强烈影响。营销专家们很快就把这些发现应用了起来。“价格顾问”建议零售商怎样说服顾客多付钱或少付钱，谈判教练也提供类似的建议帮商务人士谈成交易。全新的价格心理学要求商家设计价签、菜谱、返款优惠等。
可以说，价格是最为普遍的隐形说服大师。不管是谁，只要平常要跟人讨价还价，这本书就不能不看。

▲词汇是基础，应该摆在六级准备的前头。没有词汇做基础，在进行阅读时很可能会一眼望去一大片的生词，只能读懂只言片语，从而影响正确理解，减慢进度。扩大词汇量其实是个日积月累的过程，要是时间不是那么紧迫的话，建议平时多扩大阅读，在语境中正确理解词义，学会相关的搭配，同时语感也会增强。（《21th century》里就有挺多六级词汇的。）特别是多次接触一个词，自然记得深，不容易遗忘。▲手上要有一本词汇手册，但不要以为越厚越好，越全越好，相反找一本精选核心词汇，因为很多大纲里的词是很少作为考点的，有些甚至从未出现过，如apron（围裙），atlas（地图集、第一颈椎）等一些lifeless的词，看过几遍还是记不住，因为复现率太低。所以还是找本六级常考词汇，而且有例句的那种，通过背例句记用法和词义而不是死抠中文释义。（四级词汇很经典，要全看，一些基础不好的同学有必要先把四级词汇巩固一遍！）▲词汇的背诵也有技巧，要注意词汇之间的比较和归类，，像priceless和 invaluable都表示“无价”，而valueless和worthless表示“‘毫无价值”；一些形近词也是考点，如considerate （考虑周到的）和 considerable（可观的）；要掌握一些常见的词缀，如 post-表示“后面的”， eg．postwar（战后）， anti－， counter一表示“反对，相对”。 听力▲很多同学反映在考场做听力时会十分的紧张，一个词一个词地听，生怕错过什么，进入大脑的却只是些单词而无法之理解整个句意，致使无法发挥正常水平。这里有个小窍门，考前一个月每晚睡觉前听十分钟的历年听力真题，甚至不需要用心去听，只要有意无意地听听（比如刷牙的时候），这样做的话，耳朵会适应它的语速和音调，一些语句会听起来很熟悉，在考场上对那些熟悉的语音自然就不会感觉很紧张。（很有效！）▲事先阅读选项就不必说了，这里我要说的一个小技巧是，对于那些选项较长的，你可以用中文在旁边写上大意，（不必像翻译题一样对待，写几个关键词就可以，eg．He'd rathernot go to the lecture．写：不去听讲课。），选起来就一目了然，节省时间，为下一题作准备。▲要是一道题你花了很长时间猜的话，那么千万不要再浪费时间！在没有听懂的情况下，靠猜，正确的概率是非常小的，而且在某一道题上远留太久会影响下一题，使自己处于被动地位，如此恶性循环卜去，会做得一塌糊涂。所以该放弃的题一定要放弃！▲另外，记住要听关键词 key words，从语调判断说话人的态度，如讽刺，否定，惊讶等，还要注意与听力原文中有替换的也往往是答案，如原文中有“ It’s surprising that Tom came out of the accident alive．”答案选 Tom survived the accident．这里是 came out of和survived的同义替换。 阅读▲一篇文章做下来，有时候自我感觉良好，把答案一对，觉得和想象的差很远。很多同学反映六级阅读比四级阅读难得多，就在于六级阅读选项里有很多细节题，选项之间区分不大，觉得模棱两可的，拿不准。我的建议是：不要自我臆断或是凭直觉而掉入陷阱，一定不要偷懒！要回去找原文！正确的答案往往是能在原文里找出确凿的依据的。▲六级阅读不适合粗看一遍原文，再带着问题去search的方法，因为有很多细节题型，很可能因为错过一个关键词或关键句而掉入陷阱。相反，应该先仔细看一遍全文，再去看题，再回原文找，时间固然要多花些，但这样的话，你可以仔细地只做一遍，保证正确率，省去检查，众所周知，有时间回头检查的可能性不大，而且检查也有可能把原本选对的改错，所以我提倡做阅读一遍且仅一遍！▲注意一些 key words如转折词，对把握作者的态度和找出主题句有关键作用。阅读要做为考试的重点项目来对待，要通过大量练习，尤其是要做真题，做多了自然能“嗅出”六级考试的出题思路。写作▲写作其实是六级考试里比较容易突击的部分。因为大多题目是议论文，所以一定要掌握一些句型和衔接用的词组，如 on the whole， on one hand… on the other hand， as every coin has two sides， as the saying goes，掌握一些号召型的，推测型的，结论型的结尾。▲注意使用的单词要有variety，包括用多个词表达一个意思或是采用词性的变化，如advantageous， beneficial， advisable， profitable之间可交替着用。 more valuable若用 of morevahe替代会更有神。加一些副词如greatly， inevitably，可以增强语气（也可以增加字数），像increase和increase steadily／remarkably／slightly表达出来的效果肯定不一样。▲一篇好的作文一定要有一些闪光点，让判卷老师眼前一亮，有个好印象，可以使用一些“高级词汇”，比如不要反复用一些像 important这样初中就学了的，可以用 essential，crucial，indispensable等替代，当然，要是对一些单词的拼写不是很确定的话，宁愿不要去用这个词。闪光点也可以是一句虚拟语气，（同样，要是你没有把握写对时，也不要去铤而走险。）还可以引入一些名言谚语，恰好文部每期的四六级刊物里《智慧语丝》栏目里都有很多。▲字数要够，但不能为凑字数而加些不知其所以然的废话，这样反而给判卷老师留下很坏的印象。可以在内容上进行拓展，比如引入例证或深入探讨现象，对其进行预测或是说如果这一现象继续会带米什么后果，所以要号召大家共同努力制止这一现象等。检查，一定要检查！粗俗地过一遍很容易就能发现一些如时态上的小问题，这些小毛病也是也是很要命的！考前要坚持统几篇，把握把握时间，再与范文作比较，找出范文的亮点，认真总结。最后一点，基础十技巧十努力，自己的努力是最重要的，没有下功夫，一切技巧全部失效。
