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.
One the 14th day, it is a custom 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 what you see on Valentine‟s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn‟t allow marriage.
But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him 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 he was made a Saint(圣徒), as well as becoming one of history‟s most romantic characters.
Nowadays, Valentine‟s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students 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 heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share the spirit of St. Valentine.

Valentine‟s Day is also popular in China now 62. The best title for this passage should be . A. Valentine‟s Day B. A Brave Priest C. Valentine‟s Day in China D. A Romantic Man
(B)
Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants
to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy-tales (童话).
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10，000 with a cutting
from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month,
one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
“I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy‟s mother, told Der Spiegel
magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.‟‟
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a
course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone
thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: “Maybe it is an old person
who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city‟s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations. 63. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
A. a church
B. a bank
C. a newspaper D. a magazine
64. Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
A. The donation amounted to €190,000. B. The donation was sent directly to his house.
C. The money will be used for his education. D. His mother felt astonished at the donation. 65. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. the donator is a rich old man
B. the donation will continue to come
C. the donation comes from the newspaper D. the donator will soon be found out 66. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.
B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.
C. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes D. Robin Hood Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in not more than twelve words for each question.
People need homes: children assume their parents‟ place as home; boarders call school “home”on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers… have no
place to call “home”, at least for a few nights．
So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don't they have the right to a home? Of course they do．
Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely．Furthermore, driving a camping car during one's travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home——only mobile!
And how about maintaining relationships while in travel? Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well．People find ways to keep in touch．
________________________with those who travel or stay together helps travelers feel more or less at home．For instance, backpackers in youth hostels(招待所) may become very good friends, even closer than siblings(兄弟姐妹)．
Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home”waiting to be found．Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make the place we stay “home”．
67．Why do some put some flowers by the hotel window?
68．The underlined phrase “maintaining relationships” probably means ____________________. 69．Fill in the blank with proper words．
______________________________________________________________________________ 70．What is the main idea of the passage?
______________________________________________________________________________
