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 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. 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.46.

Valentines Day B. A Brave Priest C. Valentines Day in China D. A Romantic ManBRecently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what PK meant. My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what PK meant, but I had no idea, explained the puzzled father. To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, PK is short for Player Kill, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the Super Girl singing competition, PK was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking. Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didnt understand. My GG came back this summer from college. He told me Ive grown up to be a PLMM. I loved to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition. GG means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). PLMM refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). FB means Fu Bai (corruption). KPM is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao! 51.

CYou cant hide a natural disaster from children, so how do we prepare them for it? First of all, you should explain to them that acts of nature arent necessarily disasters but can become one. These may include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, wild fires, and earthquakes. The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them “Disaster Masters” or whatever title you can think of. Making them a Disaster Master wont be easy. They must know whats in a disaster emergency kit(工具箱) and why its included. You can get your friends involved, too. If your friends have children, they may want to be involved in your emergency preparations. Make it a group project. This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment. We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to stress. The children will be easily influenced by your attitude and demeanor. The calmness, steady manner, and good humor of your spouse (配偶) and you will go a long way toward the easing or the reduction of stress.Explain to them what theyre likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react. Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally dont last long. If you must stay away from home, try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new friends. Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused. And its important to let them know its OK to cry during a disaster.Its sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what theyve experienced. Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done better. Save the story. Make it part of a documented family history! 56. This passage was written mainly to tell us about _.
