One day Jack was preparing to leave on a trip. He often travelled on business back and forth between New York and his home in Boston. His wife Katie was carrying out his suitcase to the car when it suddenly opened. Inside were shorts, shirts, sandals, and a swimming suit. In light of the fact that her husband had packed all of his casual clothes, she started to doubt(怀疑) that he was going on a business trip.
The next day, she followed up on her suspicion(猜想) by calling the airline that her husband travelled on. She asked the man at the airline.“Can you tell me how many frequent flyer miles my husband and I have ”
The man looked up their account and told Katie, “Up to now, you have almost 100,000 miles if I include your husband’s most recent flight.”

Father’s Day
Father’s Day is on the third Sunday in June. It’s a day to show love and respect for fathers.
Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington, the USA, first suggested the idea of a Father’s Day in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day for her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart’s wife died in giving birth to her sixth child. After that, Mr. Smart had to bring up the newborn baby and his other five children by himself. Mrs. Dodd realized her father’s selflessness as a single parent. She suggested that there should be a Father’s Day for all the loving fathers.
On 19 June 1910, people celebrated the first Father’s Day in Washington. After that, in a lot of cities across the USA, many other people also began to celebrate Father’s Day. Finally in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson claimed(宣布) the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.
Father’s Day has now become a day to honour(向……表示敬意) not only fathers, but also all men who act as fathers. Stepfathers, uncles and grandfathers are all honoured on Father’s Day.
On Father’s Day, some children give presents to their fathers to show their thanks. And fathers will certainly be happy to know that their children love them.
