Speaking， of course， can’t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly， first you must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don’t listen carefully， you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well， what about writing? Like speaking， it’s to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.
Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast， you understand better. If you read too slowly， by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words， don’t look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time， but as new words come up again and again in different contexts， their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word， you’ll never finish a book.

February 14th， Valentine’s Day， is a complicated but interesting occasion. First of all， Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married， or to your boy friend or girl friend if you’re not married. In Japan， some girls even give their fathers chocolates.
Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day?
One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like“Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day， American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards， write the name of a classmate on them， and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened， the cards are taken out and given out.
1. Which of the following is true about Valentine’s Day?
A. It is observed by sending flowers to one’s husband or wife.
B. Children in Japan give their fathers chocolates.
C. It is a legal holiday in many countries.
D. People send candy to each other.
2. The man called Valentine was put in prison because ________.
A. He secretly got married in a Christian ceremony
