　　February 14 is a day for people who have fallen in love． On this day， these men and women give gifts and cards to each other for Valentine’s Day．

　　This day has been popular with people in love for a long time． At first， this holiday was called Lupercalia． Then the name of the day was changed to saint Valentine’s Day． The man named saint Valentine was Killed on February 14,270 A．D．because he was a Christian．

　　Before saint Valentine was killed， February 14 was the old Roman holiday， Lupercalia． The church wanted people to think of a Christian holiday on this day， so the church changed the name of the holiday．

　　This change did not stop people in love from giving gifts to each other． People usually gave gloves， handkerchiefs， or even underwear as gifts． Sometimes people also put hearts and flowers on the present before giving it to the other person．

　　Valentine cards did not become popular until the 1750s． The first Valentine cards were made by hand． People wrote their own words on the cards． These words were usually kind or funny．

　　Cards made by machines became more popular around 1850． All of a sudden， Valentine’s Day became a big holiday for people who made and sold cards．

　　Now， every year around February 14，cards and chocolates fill stores for people in love．

　　Choose the best answer．

　　You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on．Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time．

　　In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it．And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too．All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you．

　　Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can’t be bought with money．When you meet with difficulties，you can say loudly you are very happy，because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes，life is like a revolving(旋转的) door．When it closes，it also opens．If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person．
