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 valentines day, a day named after valentine who was a priest in the third century rome. when the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. but valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. when his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. while in prison, 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 historys most romantic characters. 56. 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 wasnt enough food for so many people.d. because he wanted to control the birth rate.57. valentine was put into prison because _.a. he killed one of the soldiers b. he stole a lot of food c. he didnt obey the

can find a course in the language you want to learn in your country, this is quite a good way to study. a variety of courses are usually available, including part-time and full-time courses. if you look around, you can probably find a course that suits your needs. the main advantage of such courses is that youll have a teacher to provide you with instructions, support and with whom to practice your language. you will also be studying with others who are at more or less the same level and you can exchange ideas with them and help one another. one choice is to study a language in a country where its spoken. there are many schools teaching english, french, spanish, italian and german, but far fewer teaching other languages. the main advantage of studying abroad is that you are totally in the language, not just in class, but the rest of the time as well. as a result, you can make rapid progress. the main disadvantage of studying abroad is the cost, not just of your course, but also of your food and travel. however, if youre a native speaker of english, you could get a job teaching english in a country where the language you want to learn is spoken. studying online is also a good choice. there are plenty to choose from a lot of languages. many are free but there are some you have to pay for. some of the paid ones provide support from teachers via email, chat programs, video conferencing, telephone or even face to face.60. studying in your country has many advantages except that _.a. there are many courses to choose from b. you can study with others of the same levelc. all the courses are free of charge d. the teacher can offer you instructions and practice 61.compared with two other ways, the obvious disadvantage of studying abroad lies in its _.a. various courses b. high cost c. studying time d. job chances62. the online courses _.a. are all free of charge b. cant be found everywhere c. can be easily taken on the internet d. are all supported by teachers63. what can we learn from this passage? _a. studying abroad is the only good way to study english.b. all the online courses are very easy to study.c. if you study a language in your own country, you can study with more partners of the same level. d. you can get any job you like after studying abroad.cthe earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. why does the earth have life while the
