Mother’s Day Tradition in the United States
In the United States, Mother’ s Day is a national holiday and celebrated on the second Sunday of May. History of Mother's Day is more than a hundred years old in the US. It was after a long struggle by a loving daughter Anna Jarvis that Mother’s Day was declared a national holiday by the US government. On this day, children offer beautiful flowers and gifts to their mothers. Carnations are considered traditional Mother’s Day flowers. Red carnations are symbol of love and affection. White carnations are worn on this day in memory of those mothers who are no longer living.

If you’re new to San Francisco, paying the city a visit, or simply looking for a new playground for you and your dog, here are four of the finest dog parks in San Francisco.
Corona Heights Dog Park
Often visited by residents from all over the city because of its nearness to the Randall Museum, Corona Heights Dog Park offers pets and owners breathtaking view after a steep hillside climb, and a fenced dog area that allows dogs to let loose without a leash（狗链）. Owners will also enjoy the playground, tennis courts and basketball courts.
Dolores Dog Park
The grounds of Dolores Park once served as camps for those who were left homeless by the 1906 earthquake, but now are often visited by crowds of Mission District people. Four-legged friends can also wander about carefree off-leash while making friends with other members of the doggie community.
Pine Lake Dog Park
Famous for its place as a rest stop for hundreds of species of birds to fly to and from warmer climates, Pine Lake Park is also prized by city dogs and their owners for their nice hiking paths, picturesque lake suited for swimming, and off-leash area on the park’s west end that lets dogs run free.
Buena Vista Dog Park
With a history of 146 years, Buena Vista Park is San Francisco’s oldest park. Dogs and owners with plus energy will love burning it on this park’s steep paths and winding staircases. Dog owners should have good control over their dogs, as it’s quite easy for dogs to get separated when going through Buena Vista’s many twists and turns.
【小题1】Why do dog owners take their pets to Dolores Dog Park?| A．To let them socialize. | B．To give them rescue lessons. |
