25、陪那些孤独的母亲过母亲节。4答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段“What I learnt from my father over the years, was that no matter what, he always put my mother before himself. He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that.”可知，多年来，作者从父亲身上学到的是，他始终把作者的母亲放在第一位，从不让母亲忘记他深爱着她，由此可知，作者从父亲身上学到的是向我们所爱的人表达爱是有必要的，故B项正确。5答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第
26、四段中的“You see，it goes both ways，and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again.”可知，作者之所以重视表达对母亲的爱，是因为这种爱是双向的，你对母亲的爱也会一次又一次地温暖你自己，故D项正确。6答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If you dont know anyone，there are plenty of lonely mums in rest homes who would enjoy your company for a couple of hou
