Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed  this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

    Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.

    The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

    By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.

    To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.

    It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）emand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

    The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mother's Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

阅读北齐的《回家的日子》一文，完成小题。
        ①回故乡的路再短，感觉也很长，是如潮水般的思念拉长了回家的路。从定好日子回家开始，心灵已经上路。从这一刻起，想家的心绪如同进入汛期的河水，每时每刻都在上涨，一次比一次强劲地撞击胸膛。但是很奇怪，每次见到母亲之前，我总觉得自己见到母亲的那一刻定会情感决堤。可每当看见母亲，我情感的浪潮就一下子变成了舒缓的河水。
        ②听父亲说，从得到我要回家的信儿开始，母亲的话明显多了，一天不知道要念叨多少回：“儿子要回来了，儿子要回来了。”父亲常开玩笑说，你妈把见到你当做上场比赛了——越临近越兴奋。可母亲每次见到我，都很淡定，就好像我是这天上午刚出门似的。人说母子连心，看来这话多少有点道理，要不然，我的情感变化怎么与母亲一样呢!
        ③只要我提前打电话告诉母亲到家的时间，我到家时总是见到母亲在院门边择菜。每回母亲总是以这种方式等待她的儿子。如果实在等得太着急了，她也不会到路口去张望，就是想出去看看，也一定找个由头。有次我比预计时间晚到家七八个钟头，母亲往路口的小店跑了好几趟，不是买袋盐就是买瓶酱油。来回十来分钟的路，母亲都要走上半个多小时。
        ④母亲见到我，连忙站起来，双手在围裙上揩了又揩，问声“回来了”，语气很平常。我发现，即使我离家再久，母亲也不会像别的母亲见到孩子那样拉着我的手左看看右瞧瞧，她好像从不细细打量我。就是近几年她年纪大了眼神不好了，也从不会离我很近，我也没发现她特意看看我。可我身上的一点点变化，母亲总能看得出。
        ⑤母亲笑得很甜，皱纹爬满了脸，如风吹过水面。没等我走近，母亲就先进了屋去了厨房，忙着为我做吃的。
        ⑥我站在母亲身后，发现母亲的白发又多了，个头好像又矮了些。我想抱住母亲，可抬起的手却是在抹眼角。我心里酸酸的，眼眶里湿湿的。我对母亲说，妈，别忙活，说说话吧。母亲说，没什么忙的，不耽搁说话的。每到这时候，都是我先说离家这些日子的事，然后母亲会说家里的事。这些话，平常电话里都是说过的，可我们还是像第一次说那样津津有味。母亲几乎没有闲的时候，手里总是有忙不完的活儿。我每次回家与母亲的交流，多半是这样进行的。有时我在看书或写作，母亲会坐在离我不远不近的地方，或择菜，或叠衣服，我不说话，她就静静地坐着。有时我想和她说话，她会说，你忙你的，我坐在这儿就好。我知道，母亲只要我在她的目光里，她就很知足。而每到这个时候，我心里就会特别空灵安详。
        ⑦我为母亲梳头、剪指甲、洗脚捏脚和按摩，让她试穿我给她买的新衣，帮着她提提肩拽拽衣角。这时，母亲会有些不好意思，我的动作也有些笨拙。对我而言，这与其说是为母亲做点事，还不如说是我在借以品味当年母亲为我做这些事时的感受。
        ⑧每次回家，看我带着东西，见我帮着做这做那，母亲都会说，人回来了比什么都好。儿子长大了，母亲不图别的，只希望儿子平平安安，能回到她身边看看、说说话。母亲没想过回报，当然，我们永远也报答不完母亲那醇厚的爱。
        ⑨无论离家多长时间，无论是过去还是现在，我回家的日子总是这么平常，在家里的生活，是最没有故事的。可在家里，回到母亲身边的日子，因为平淡而可亲。
        ⑩一跨出家门，我就开始想家；一走出母亲的视线，我就想母亲。从这一刻起，念家的种子就落入心田，每天都会生长。
