February has long been a month of romance.With the sweet smell of roses in the air，romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
On the 14th day，it is customary for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner，buy her flowers and chocolates，write poems，sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals!
This is the scene that greets you on Valentine's Day，named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome.When the emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives，he banned marriage.
But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret.When his actions were discovered，the emperor had him put to death.
While in prison，it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.Before his death，he wrote her a letter，which he signed “From your Valentine”， an expression that is still in use today.
Valentine died for what he believed in and so was made a Saint，as well as becoming one of history's most romantic figures.
Nowadays，Valentine's Day wins the same popularity among Chinese young people.It is a time when students “don't want to be alone” according to Gao Shunjie，a student reporter for 21st Century Teens in Jinling High School，Nanjing.Some of her classmates are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents，teachers and friends.Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heartshaped cakes.The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day，and mine is no different.Once the national holiday arrives，my mum rises early to make the meal.She puts a turkey in the oven，chops carrots and bakes pies.I'm sorry to say that the men in the family－my dad，my younger brother and myself－rarely pitch in to help.Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 p．m.every Thanksgiving Day，family members seat themselves around the kitchen table.Plates of turkey，vegetables，salad，rolls and pies cover it.At this point，we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水)all over our fancy clothes，but it's not yet time to eat.
First，we must bow our heads，close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have.Under normal circumstances，I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for.I grew up in a loving family.My parents，who aren't wealthy，took out loans to help me pay for university.
However，the funny thing is，every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks，my mind usually goes blank.I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫)stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually，though，we all finish our short prayers and dig in．To be sure，the day includes other highlights—visiting with family and watching football.But usually around 6 p．m.we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
9．The purpose of the text is to ．

You may know your mother，but how well do you really know Mother's Day？Cards，flowers，sales，TV specials，and a day off for someone who really deserves it—those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother's Day.But there's more to the story.
The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece.The celebrations honored Rhea，the Mother of the gods.During the 1600s，England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday.On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families.A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.
In the US，Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe，who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic，suggested it as a day devoted to peace.But it didn't really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers.She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War.The US isn't alone in devoting a day to mothers.Many other countries including Denmark，Finland，Italy，Turkey，Australia，Japan，and Belgium also honor their mothers in May.Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.
Learning more about Mother's Day and celebrating Mother's Day are important，but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother，or grandmother，or aunt has really done for you.And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.
13．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The reason why people celebrate Mother's Day.
B．The ways people honor mothers.
C．The history of Mother's Day.
D．The contribution of mothers.
14．Where was the earliest Mother's Day celebrated?
A．In ancient Greece. B．In the US.
C．In England. D．In Italy.
15．We can learn from the passage that ．
A．Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient Greece
B．all the countries don't celebrate Mother's Day in May
C．only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday
D．it was in 1872 that Mother's Day really came into being

Many years earlier, my mother knew that she could not send me to college and pay for it.She worked in a retail store and made just enough to pay the bills and take care of the other children at home.If I wanted to go to college, it was up to me to find out how to get there.
I found that I qualified for some grants because of the size of our family, my mom's income and my SAT scores.There was enough to cover school and books, but not enough for room and board.I accepted a job as part of a work?study program.While not attractive, it was one I could do.I washed dishes in the school cafeteria.
Just when I thought I was going to drop out of my college career, an angel appeared.Well, one of those that are on earth, without wings.“I heard that you need some help，”he said.“What do you mean？”I asked, trying to figure out which area of my life he meant.“Financially, to stay in school.”“Well, I make it okay.I just have trouble working all these hours and finding no time to study.”“Well, I think I have a way to help you out.”
He went on to explain that his grandparents needed help on the weekends.All that was required of me was cooking meals and helping them get in and out of bed in the morning and evening.The job paid four hundred dollars a month, twice the money I was making washing dishes.Now I would have time to study.I went to meet his grandparents and accepted the job.
My first discovery was his grandmother's great love of music.She spent hours playing her old, off?key piano.One day, she told me I didn't have enough fun in my life and took it upon herself to teach me the art.Grandma was impressed with my ability and encouraged me to continue.Weekends in their house became more than just books and cooking, they were filled with the wonderful sounds of the out?of?tune piano and two very out?of?tune singers.
Paragraph 1：

Paragraph 2：

Many years earlier, my mother knew that she could not send me to college and pay for it.She worked in a retail store and made just enough to pay the bills and take care of the other children at home.If I wanted to go to college, it was up to me to find out how to get there.
I found that I qualified for some grants because of the size of our family, my mom's income and my SAT scores.There was enough to cover school and books, but not enough for room and board.I accepted a job as part of a work?study program.While not attractive, it was one I could do.I washed dishes in the school cafeteria.
Just when I thought I was going to drop out of my college career, an angel appeared.Well, one of those that are on earth, without wings.“I heard that you need some help，”he said.“What do you mean？”I asked, trying to figure out which area of my life he meant.“Financially, to stay in school.”“Well, I make it okay.I just have trouble working all these hours and finding no time to study.”“Well, I think I have a way to help you out.”
He went on to explain that his grandparents needed help on the weekends.All that was required of me was cooking meals and helping them get in and out of bed in the morning and evening.The job paid four hundred dollars a month, twice the money I was making washing dishes.Now I would have time to study.I went to meet his grandparents and accepted the job.
My first discovery was his grandmother's great love of music.She spent hours playing her old, off?key piano.One day, she told me I didn't have enough fun in my life and took it upon herself to teach me the art.Grandma was impressed with my ability and encouraged me to continue.Weekends in their house became more than just books and cooking, they were filled with the wonderful sounds of the out?of?tune piano and two very out?of?tune singers.
Paragraph 1：
When Christmas break came, Grandma got a chest cold, and I was afraid to leave her.
Paragraph 2：
The envelope was from Grandma.

study program again.The financial aid advisor looked at me as if I had lost my mind.I explained my position, then he smiled and slid me an envelope.“This is for you.”he said.
