People all over the world celebrate Valentine’s Day．However, the holiday  26 differently in different countries  27  each culture has its own Valentine’s Day customs．

    For example，people in the United States and Japan both celebrate Valentine’s Day  28February 14．But in Japan，only romantic partners come together,while in America，it can be shared by anyone  29  is close，friend or lover．Chocolate is the most preferred gift in the US  30  it is common in Japan，too．However,in the US other kinds of gifts are  3 1  given，and many people exchange cards．

    The biggest  32  is that in Japan，only girls and women．33  chocolates to boys and men，but in the US boys and girls will give cards or small gifts to all of  34  friends．And while American men and women both receive gifts，women usually get  35  expensive gifts than men．That’s why I would like to be a man in Japan but a woman in the US!

Not thinking of the   6    ，Jessie hurried to the other side of the road，though few people dared （敢）cross  7   a busy road． Looking into the car，she saw five people –two women and three children．Jessie was   8   to see all of them moving．Jessie pulled one of the car doors．It wouldn't open．She went to the next door． 9  ，she couldn't move it．She almost thought that all was  10  efore she got one of the doors to open a little．“Please get the children out，”one of the women called．Jessie   11   a little boy from the car and moved him to a  12  place．Then she went to bring the other children to safety．

After the last child was out of the car，Jessie thought of the box  in   13   car．She had something in it that could help get that door open．So she got the box quickly．As Jessie was 14  on the door，the driver said， “Not many, people would do what you're doing．” “You just take it easy， and I'll have you  15   soon．” said Jessie．She was as good as her word．As soon as she helped the women out of the car, it caught fire．

The bicycle is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions in the word．What is the    1  surprising is that it was not invented earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things．Those things were not produced    2  long after he died．

A person riding a bicycle uses       3  energy to make the bicycle move and there is no pollution at all when you are riding．Even so，in developed   4 ，most people don't travel to work by bicycle．It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel       5  if they ride to work．It's because 6  cars on the roads becomes larger．It certainly becomes  7   to ride a bicycle．As a result，more people put their bicycles away and go to work  8  their cars．In this way, the situation（局势）is made more serious。  9  the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths（路）only for bicycles and to make  10   so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to using their bicycles．
