“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never8ourselves at the9of the poor. But you are10, and may give yourself a much greater11by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and12how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes.

  Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday?

  The history of Valentine's Day—and its patron saint(守护神)—is covered in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains signs of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

  So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become connected with this ancient tradition? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were dead . One legend describes that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius Ⅱ decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed (使……不受法律保护) marriage for young men—his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice(不公正)of the rule, fought against Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape cruel Roman prisons where they were often beaten, even killed.

  According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first “Valentine” greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl—who may have been his jailor's daughter—who visited him during his imprisonment. Before his death, it is said that he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is gloomy, the stories certainly emphasize his appearance as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

1.Why candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones every February?

[  ]

A.Mainly to show their love to their lovers.

B.Mainly to remember a person named Valentine.

C.Because they can't spend that day without these things.

D.Because February is a romantic month.

2.From this passage, why have people called that day Saint Valentine's Day?

[  ]

A.A priest called Valentine performed marriages for young lovers in secret.

B.A person called Valentine helped to save many Christians.

C.A person called Valentine wrote her lover a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine” .

D.It doesn't tell us exactly.

3.In the fourth paragraph, what's the meaning of the second “Valentine”?

[  ]

A.The person “Valentine”.

B.A thing as a gift in that day.

C.A signature in the lovers' day for the first time .

D.No real meaning.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

[  ]

A.How to spend Saint Valentine's Day.

B.The history of Saint Valentine's Day.

C.Why we should spend Saint Valentine's Day.

D.Why we should remember the person named Valentine.

Loch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, is twenty four miles long and, at one point, one mile wide. It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand. It is cold and murky (混沌的), with dangerous currents. In short, it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.
The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, is supposedly living in this area. The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St. Columba by Adamnan in the year AD 565. The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.
The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27, 1930, when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat, throwing water in the air. In 1933, after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch, the number of reports rose suddenly. Early in 1934, Author Grant, a young student, was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road. Grant’s description of the thing – small head, long thin neck and tail with a big body, seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur (蛇颈龙), an aquatic (水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct (已灭绝的) for 65 million years.
The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature. Even now, efforts have continued to find the monster. A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch, but there isn’t any yet to produce any specific evidence of a monster.
Skeptics (怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in. They also argue that an air-breathing animal, like a whale or seal, would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to, and would be spotted more often.
Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep, long, and cold lakes, like Loch Ness. Such a wave might push debris (废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal.
However, none of these is identified.
【小题1】According to the skeptics, which of the following is TRUE?

A.It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.
B.The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.
C.The Loch Ness Monster is an air-breathing animal.
D.There is no so-called monster in Loch Ness.

Cities of Tomorrow
Middle school students combine science and imagination as they celebrate National Engineers
Week in a Future City Competition.
In the African city of Mwinda,floating farms are quite common.The city’s residents zip around in hydrogen-powered hover(盘旋的)vehicles,and renewable energy resources provide the city’s power.That’s how Jake Bowers,12,Emily Ponti,14,and Krisha Sherburne,12,imagined their future city.
The students,who attend St.Thomas More School in Baton Rouge,Louisiana,took first place
for their design last week in the 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition held in
Washington,D.C.The students won a trip to the U.S Space Camp in Huntsville,Alabam.
Kids from 35 middle schools across the country made it to Washington.They had teamed up
with teachers and volunteer engineer mentors(顾问,导师)to develop cities.Each team began by
creating a fictional city on SimCity 3000,a computer game that allows players to construct towns.
The students then built a tabletop model of the city,wrote an essay and presented their creation to a
panel(专门小组) of judges.This year’s theme asked students to design fuel cell powered
communities.Fuel cell technology works by using hydrogen and oxygen to produce power.The
process is environmentally friendly.
Organizers hope the competition provides a fun and educational way to spark young people’s
interest in engineering.“As the number of graduates in engineering(decreases),it’s ever more
important to encourage students to build these skills at an early age,”says John Hofmeister,
President of Shell Oill Company.Shell is a sponsor of the annual Future City contest.Judging by
this year’s competition,plenty of kids are getting the message.Some 30,000 students from more
than 1,000 schools participated in the 2006 -2007 Future City Competition.
64.What is not imagined in the three teenagers’ mind for their future city?
A.Hydrogen-powered hover vehicles.
B.The city’s power provided by renewable energy resources.
C.Floating farms.
D.Oxygen-powered floating factories.
65.Which statement is True according to the passage?
A.St.Thomas More School in Baton Rouge is in Alabama.
B.The 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition was held in Lounisiana.
C.The students who took first place for their design won a trip to U.S.Space Camp in
Huntsville.
D.The U.S Space Camp lies in Washington,D,C..
66.Kids from 35 middle schools_________.
A.could use computers to help them construct their future cities
B.created a real city on Simcity 3000
C.teamed up on their own to develop cities
D.built a tabletop model of the city and presented it to their teachers for judgment
67.It can be inferred that the 2006 -07 Future City Competition_________.
A.will spark young people’s interest in living in Space Camp
B.will decrease the number of graduates in engineering
C.will encourage college students to build engineering skills after their graduation
D.was participated in by 30 students on average in each school
