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（牧师） in the third century rome. when the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. but valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies（典礼）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, in which he signed （签名）“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.nowadays, valentines day is also popular among chinese young people. some students are planning to make valentines 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. 21. why did the emperor in rome not allow marriage in his country? abecause there were few women in his country at that time. bbecause he wanted to control the birth rate. cbecause there wasnt enough food for so many people. dbecause he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.22.valentine was put into prison because _. ahe killed one of the soldiers bhe didnt obey the emperors order che stole a

romantic man b last saturday, my 8-year-old son, chase, and i were shopping in a supermarket. chase was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables i collected. i handed him a bag of tomatoes and he walked over to the scale（天平）and waited patiently in line. suddenly, an old man walked up behind chase, and stepped before him, bumping（撞击） chase out of the way. chase looked shocked and scared. seeing this i left my shopping cart and walked over to chase, saying loudly, “are you all right, honey? i saw what that man did to you. that was very, very wrong.” when the man finished weighing his bag, he turned around too quickly and all of his onions spilled out of his bag and onto the dirty floor. the three of us froze for a moment. then i got down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions while the old man accepted them from my hands and put them back into his bag. after chase and i retrieved（取回） all the onions, the old man walked away. we didnt discuss the event until we got back in the car. on the way home, chase said through tears, “mommy, ive a frustrating day. that man cut right in front of me. and we had to help him pick up his onions! why did we do that? that didnt make any sense.” i took a deep breath and said, “chase, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today. we should forgive him. i was also angry with that man for treating you rudely. i really wanted to kick him. but doing that doesnt make any sense. if we hadnt helped that old man, we might have felt good for a moment, but then i bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. you and i have a lot of love to share. maybe that man doesnt have much. people who behave badly still need love.” a cheerful smile appeared on chases face. it was a smile of a promise kept. it was the best smile i have
