    Valentine’s Day is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christmas churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1700 years ago, but the day which is named after him is even earlier than that.

       More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.

       Now, lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they sent each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candies. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, “Jane, I love you very much”. Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, May.”

       Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries. This means someone can send a Valentine message to the lover in a far-away place almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.

    When was the day named after Valentine?

    A. More than 1700 years ago before Valentine’s death.      B. More than 2, 000 years ago.

    C. On February 14.                                  D. It is not mentioned in the passage.

    Which of the following is Wrong about the ancient Romans holiday in the text?

    A. Girls put paper with their names into a container.

    B. Boys and girls became sweet hearts by chance.

    C. Girls and boys chose life lovers in the holiday.

    D. It was celebrated as a holiday for lovers.

    Now lovers celebrate Valentine’s Day _________.

    A. like what the ancient Romans did         B. by sending gifts to each other

    C. by printing newspapers                       D. by spending lots of money

    What can we learn from the text?

    A. The ancient Roman girls were more easy-going.

    B. Valentine was killed for not helping the government.

    C. USA Today helps readers to send roses with printed messages.

    D. Valentine was honored for his Christian belief and warm heart.

    The text is written to _________.

    A. tell us something about Valentine’s Day                 B. advertise for USA Today

    C. tell us that Americans are open to express love          D. sell roses on Valentine’s Day

                                                                                                  Dec. 24, 1848
    Dear Johnston,
    Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler(游手好闲). I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it.
    This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in.
    You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it.
    Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work.
    Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will deliver possession-Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.
    Affectionately
    Your brother
    A. Lincoln
    【小题1】Abraham Lincoln wrote the letter to Johnston mainly to ________.

    A．show his concern for himB．recommend him to save money
    C．decline his request and motivate himD．introduce him a new job
    【小题2】What’s the problem with Johnston, according to Lincoln?
    A．He was very lazy. B．He wasted time a lot.
    C．He couldn’t get much from work.D．He disliked working.
    【小题3】In the letter Lincoln suggested that Johnston should ________.
    A．keep himself from getting into troubleB．go to work hard for somebody
    C．manage well the things at home D．keep the children out of the idle habit
    【小题4】If Johnston got one dollar for his work, Lincoln promised to _________.
    A．reward him with laborB．pay off his debt
    C．hire him at 10 dollars a month D．give him another dollar
    【小题5】In order to get 80 dollars from Lincoln, Johnston promised to ________.
    A．take away his place in HeavenB．deed Lincoln the land
