复活节兔子是非常古老的复活节象征的现代说法。野兔是兔子的大个子亲戚，它是专供厄俄斯特女神用的圣物。
在复活节穿新衣服的习俗是在公元后300年左右开始的，大约在第一个基督徒皇帝康斯坦丁的时代。他下令在复活节那天朝臣们都得穿最好的衣服。1. Listen to this conversation

a white lie, and also a romantic lie.“Oh, Hu Jin. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time at the coffee shop. Guess what! A young man came in and he looked very worried. He told me that he was the herd boy Niulang! He was hurrying to meet his dear Zhinü. But the city had changed so much that he couldn’t find a flower or chocolate shop ...” “Oh, really?” Hu Jin was surprised. “Then what did you do?”
“You know the couple, Niulang and Zhinü, meet just once a year. What a pity if they can’t have a happy Valentine’s Day! So I gave my flowers and chocolates to the boy. I’m so sorry, Hu Jin.”Hu Jin smiled and came to realize what had happened. She said, “What an interesting boy! Of course he wouldn’t have been Niulang. Maybe he was in a hurry and had no time to prepare a gift for his girl friend. I’m glad that you helped him. Anyway, I have gifts for you. It doesn’t matter.” Just at that time, the manager of the tea shop came up with a big bouquet of roses and said, “I’m glad to tell you that we have a special gift for every couple today in our shop. Here you are! Happy Valentine’s Day!”
Both Li Fang and Hu Jin were happy. It was really an unforgettable and romantic day!Finish your own ending to the story.
