With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic（浪漫的）films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On 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(花瓣)! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest （牧师）in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single （单身）men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies（仪式）for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death（判处死刑）. 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, te achers 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 in the spirit of St. Valentine.1. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.D.

Valentine was put into prison because ______.A. he killed one of the soldiersB. he stole a lot of foodC. he didn’t obey the emperor’s orderD. he didn’t want to be a soldier3.
