These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare.‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ ‎  Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the ‎ thought that counts”.

Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. However,               . The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.   Forty years later，Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American-English. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.  Today，Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week，five times a day. Each half-hourly broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20minutes of feature (特写报道) programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science，development，agriculture，and environment，and on the weekend about news ，events and American idioms. These programs are followed by in-depth (深入的) 15 minutes features about American culture，history，science，medicine，space，important people or short stories. 36. What is the main idea of the passage?
