February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers secretly. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced (宣判) him to death. While in prison (监狱), it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.

Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

1.Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?

A、Because there were few women in his country at that time.

B、Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.

C、Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.

2.Valentine was put into prison because ______.

A、he killed one of the soldiers

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of spring time. Fern's shoes were wet by the time she caught up with her father.

"Please don't kill it! " she cried. "It's unfair."

Mr Arable stopped walking. "Fern," he said gently, "you will have to learn to control yourself."

"Control myself?" shouted Fern. "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself. " Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father's hand to stop him killing the poor little pig.

"Fern," said Mr Arable, "I know more about raising a litter of pigs than you do. A weak thing makes trouble. Now run along! "

"But it's unfair," cried Fern. "The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?"

Mr Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another."

"I see no difference," replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. "This is the most terrible case of murderer I have ever heard of."

A strange look came over John Arable's face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself. "All right," he said. "You go back to the house and I will bring the runt（发育不全的矮小动物）when I come in. I'll let you start it on a bottle, like a baby. Then you'll see what trouble a pig can be. "

A.novel B.travel C.nature D.history

2.The underline word "ax" in the passage means“

A.something to keep the pig alive B.something to help the weak little pig

C.something to kill the little pig D.something to stop Mr Arable

3.Why did Fern say "it's unfair" once more to her father?

A.Fern thought it was a big trouble to raise a small pig like this.

B.Fern thought nobody could choose to be strong or weak at birth.

C.If Fern had been small at birth, Mr Arable would be sure to kill her.

D.If the pig was born small, Mr Arable would go on raising it to be strong.
