A Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day（情人节）is named after Saint Valentine，an early Christian churchman（牧师）who reportedly helped young lovers.Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago，but the day got its name even earlier than that.

More than 2,000 years ago，the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers.As part of the celebration，girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container.Boys reached into the container and pulled one out.The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweetheart for a year.

Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine's Day cards that tell of their love.Sometimes they also send gifts，like flowers or chocolate candy.Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system.But some used another way to send this message.They have it printed in a newspaper.The cost is usually a few dollars.Some of the messages are simple and short，“Jane，I love you very much.”Others say more.This one，for example，“Don，roses are red.Violets（紫罗兰）are purple.I hope you love me as much as I love

you.Forever，Mary.”

Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local，but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well.This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the world.These messages cost 80 dollars and more.An employee（职员）of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year.Will this kind of Valentine's Day message reach the one you love?

Well，just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.

B．a few dollars in a local newspaper and 80 dollars in USA Today C．80 dollars and more D．very expensive

2．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The ancient Roman girls were more open and easy-going than boys. B．Valentine was killed for helping lovers.

C．Readers of USA Today can send roses to their lovers along with printed messages. D．Valentine was honoured by people for his firm Christian beliefs and warm heart. 3．What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To briefly introduce the origin of Valentine's Day and the modern style. B．To advertise for USA Today.

C．To tell you that Americans are open to express their love. D．To sell roses on Valentine's Day.

B

As a young man，Al was a skilled artist.He had a wife and two fine sons.One night，his older son developed a bad stomachache.Neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.

Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，Al felt very guilty.To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle，and he turned to alcohol.

As the alcoholism（酗酒）progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed — his home，his land，his art objects and everything.Finally Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

When I heard of Al's death，I thought，“What a complete failure！What a totally wasted life！”

As time went by，I began to think whether my earlier judgment was right.You see，I knew Al's now adult son，Ernie.He is one of the kindest，most caring and most loving men I have ever known.I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them.I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

One day I worked up my courage to ask him，“I know your father was basically the only one to raise you.What was it on earth he did that made you become a special person？”

Ernie said，“From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘I love you，son.’”

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind loving father，and he left behind one of the finest and most giving men I have ever known.

4．Why did Al's wife leave him?

A．Because one of their sons died suddenly. B．Because Al often drank a lot. C．Because their family was too poor. D．The reason isn't mentioned in this passage.

5．It can be inferred from the passage that ______after his wife left him. A．Al often beat his younger son B．Al liked playing with his friends C．Al probably stopped his work D．Al made great contributions to art 6．In his son's opinion，Al ______. A．was a kind father B．didn't care about him C．devoted himself to art

D．thought more of others than of him

7．At first the author thought that a successful person should ______. A．have a lovely child B．build up his business C．lose everything he possessed D．own many material possessions 8．What did Al succeed most in? A．Doing what he wanted to. B．Bringing up a fine son.
