February 14th, Valentine’s Day(情人节), is a complicated but interesting day. First of all, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married, or to your boyfriend or girlfriend if you’re not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.
Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day?
One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like “Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.
1.Which of the following is true about Valentine’s Day?
A. It is observed by sending flowers to one’s husband or wife.
B. Children in Japan give their fathers chocolates.
C. It is a legal holiday in many countries.
D. People send candy to each other.
2.The man called Valentine was put in prison because ________.
A. He secretly got married in a Christian ceremony
B. He helped people get married when love was not allowed
C. He helped Roman soldiers get married
D. He wanted to kill the Roman Emperor
3.So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. “marry” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. Which priest is going to marry them? B. She has married off all her daughters.
C. I’m glad Hubert married a girl of spirit. D. At present she doesn’t intend to marry.
4.People celebrate Valentine’s Day _________.
A. to take a day off B. in memory of Valentine
C. to show their love D. both B and C
5.American school children don’t _______ on Valentine’s Day.

I will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world.
On February 14th, 2000, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When 1 got into the office, 1 saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.
On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a test that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me .She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We Jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. We went inside her hospital bedroom. We all stayed around her bed without any noise. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.
Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney 5pears.
