Some
cultures
believe
Mother
Earth
gave
birth
to
everything
1
exists
on our planet. In
Greek mythology, a
2
(god) named Gaia was the
great
mother of all. She was said
3
(create) the
Earth and the Universe. Mother
Nature
is a little different. This term relates
4
the
natural world as if it
5
(be) a woman.
It
has
been
said
that
there
is
nothing
as
great
as
a
6
(mother)
love.
Some mother expressions mean just that.
The mother lode(
母脉
)7
< br>（
come
）
from
mining.
It means the place
8
the largest amount of gold,
silver, or anything else of
value can
be found.
But
now,
the
term
mother
lode
means
9
rich
supply
of
anything.
We
often
use
the
word
“
strike
”
with
this
expression.
For
example,
you
might
say,
“
She just graduated
from
college
and
struck the mother lode with
her
new job!
”
In
other words, the
woman
’
s new job
10
(make)her rich!
Key: s have created
