A fireplace is always a perfect background to set up holiday decorations because of the space it provides，in addition to the grand role it plays in the house as being an important part of each room．If you plan on spending your Valentine's Day near the fireplace，be sure to prevent the heat loss and make sure of the chimney efficiency．If you never use your fireplace，plug and seal the chimney flue．
If you plan on having a nice，romantic dinner at home and want to set the mood with proper lighting，use energy efficient light bulbs that save you money，and look for bulbs that are lower in lumens．Lumens tell you the brightness of the bulb．The lower the lumens，the weaker the light．
For those who plan to cook that romantic dinner，there are some simple energy efficient ways you can prepare that meal．For example，did you know that if you're baking in a china or glass dish，you can typically set your oven for 25 degrees less than the recipe calls for？Learn more about saving energy while cooking．

点评 在做这类阅读理解题时，我们应注意以下几个方面：
1、采用先题后文：先读题目，再带着问题读文章．这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点，如果带着问题读文章，有利于我们抓细节．
2、先做细节题．因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后，自然会加深我们对文章的理解，这样更有利于做主旨大意题．
3、重点敲定主旨题．主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类：一类是Main idea型；一类是Topic或Title型．
