Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely   36  from all other animals. Language is a means of   37  , but it is much more than that. Many animals can   38  . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers   39  other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,   40  things like unicorns (独角兽) that have never existed. The key   41  in the fact that different words can be   42  together in different ways, according to   43  to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can   44  humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract   45 , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex   46  that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most   47  of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to   48  . The speaker has to translate thoughts into  49  language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the   50  of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to   51   what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to   52  the spoken words, understand the pattern of   53  of the words (sentences), and finally   54  the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n)    55  process.

Valentine’s Day is a popular festival of love and romance. There are      legends associated with the festival along with the belief that birds began to mate from this day. Historians trace (追踪)its      to an ancient Roman festival. It is said that in ancient Rome, people      a holiday on February 14th to honor Juno—the Queen of Roman Gods and Goddesses. On the following day, February 15th,the festival of Lupercalia was celebrated to honor the Roman God of Agriculture.

Quite often,the couple would fall in love with each other and       marry. The custom lasted for a long time until people felt that it was un-Christian and that mates should be chosen by sight, not      .
The pairing of young boys and girls set the mood of the Valentine's Day Festival as we know today. But it was      due to the efforts and daring of a priest St Valentine that the festival got its       and clearer meaning. The story goes that Emperor Claudius II of Rome found it      to get soldiers and felt the reason why men did not join the      was that they did not wish to leave their wives and families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. St Valentine challenged Claudius's      order and secretly married couples. When his disobedience was      ,Valentine was put to death on February 14, around 270 AD. After his death Valentine was named a saint.
