A lot of people these days believe Valentine‘s Day is a made-up holiday designed to promote the sale of greeting cards and gifts. And while there may be some Arguments for that, there is a mysterious story as to why February 14th has become known today as 'Valentine‘s Day.'
Our story dates back centuries ago, to the Roman Empire, and the martyrdom (殉道) of two or three Christians named Valentine. At least one of those Valentines is thought to have been killed on February 14th.
Legend has it that this particular Valentine wais killed by a Roman emperor because he secretly presided (主持) over the marriages of young men and women, against the wishes of the Emperor, who wanted only single men to fight in his army.
However, there is no historical evidence to back this up. But what is widely known is that the love-element to Valentine‘s Day can be first traced (追溯) to the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer wrote a poem in 1382 to mark the anniversary of his King‘s engagement, and scribed a line -- “For this was Saint Valentine‘s Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his male.” From this point, on Valentine‘s Day became intertwined with love.
But for the pessimists out there who see Valentine‘s Day as a commercial idea, there is some historical evidence to back this up as well!
The true popularization (普及) of Valentine‘s Day can be traced to late 18th century England, when a British publishing company first started selling paper Valentine‘s Day cards with tender words on them. They became so popular that by the middle of the 19th century, some 1.3 billion British pounds a year were being spent on Valentine‘s Day gifts.
56. What is this text mainly about?
A. What Valentine‘s Day means. B. How Valentine‘s Day came about/
C. Why Valentine‘s Day is so popular. D. When people created Valentine‘s Day.
57. One of those Valentines was killed because ______.
A. he refused to join the army B. he refused to remain single
C. he helped young people find partners D. he helped with young people‘s marriages
58. The origin of Valentine‘s Day was based on a ______.
A. historical event B. real story C. legend (传说） D. poem
59. What led to the true popularization of Valentine‘s Day?
A. The British publishing company‘s selling cards. B. The poems of Geoffrey Chaucer.
C. One Valentine‘s death. D. The mysterious story.

Having good social relationships -- friends, marriage or children -- may be every bit as important to a healthy life as quitting smoking, losing weight or taking certain medicines. U. S. researchers reported on Tuesday.
People with strong social relationships were SO percent less likely to die early than people without such support, the team at Brigham Young University in Utah found. They suggest that the government look at ways to help people keep social relationships as a way of keeping the population healthy.
“A lack of social relationships was equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day,” psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.
Her team conducted a study that examined social relationships and their effects on health. They looked at 148 studies that covered more than 308,000 people, published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine at www.plosmedicine.org.
Having low levels of social relationships was equal to being an alcoholic, was more harmful than not exercising and was twice as harmful as obesity. Social relationships had a bigger effect on early death than getting an injection to prevent pneumonia (肺炎)，than taking drugs for high blood pressure and far more important than living in air pollution, they found.
“I certainly don‘t want to downplay these other risk factors because of course they are very important,” Holt-Lunstad said. We need to start taking social relationships just as seriously. ” But Holt-Lundstad said there was some evidence that assigning caretakers (陪护人 员) does not help improve people‘s health. 'Naturally occurring relationships may be different than the support received from someone who is hired for that purpose.' she said.
60. According to the text, having poor social relationships is as harmful as ______.
A. being fat B. staying up C. not doing sports D. drinking alcohol
61. The underlined word in the .last paragraph is the closest in meaning to “______”.
A. stress B. prove C. ignore D. consider
62. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. The support from hired caretakers is more natural.
B. The love from our family members has better effect.
C. Air pollution does more harm to people than poor social relationships.
D. Poor social relationships are the biggest reason for people‘s early death.
63. What would be the best title for this text?
A. Good social relationships improve our health
B. Risks factors that lead to people‘s early death
C. The importance of building good relationships
D. Advice on how to avoid early death and keep healthy

Graduation is an exciting day but mine was not. Like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse my senior1 year. We graduates had degrees, but very limited future. I knew that the next day, when my lease (租约) ended, I would no longer have a place to call home.
The weeks ahead weren‘t easy. I gathered up everything I couldn‘t carry and put it into storage. Then, because I knew my small university town couldn‘t offer me any opportunities, I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before.
Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like an endless poverty (贫穷). And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn‘t seem to make any progress.
So what did I do? I wrote. I turned my frustration into a children‘s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero featuring a little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree in the writing world -- just a lot of hard work and perseverance (坚持) -- I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Often our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream and all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.
64. Why did the author leave her university town for Southern California?
A. She hoped for more job opportunities. B. She wanted to return to her hometown.
C. She couldn‘t afford to pay for her lease. D. She‘s hired by the Walt Disney Company.
65. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. the economy then was turning better and better
B. the author found a good job with her high degree
C. the author had planned to find a job within a week
D. the author had live a better life before graduation
66. What earned the author a contract for her first book?
A. Her fame B. Her effort. C. Her degree. D. Her experience.
67. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?
A. Graduation might not be exciting. B. People should be devoted to writing.
C. Those who don‘t give up will pay off. D. Poverty sometimes produces nice results.

Passage 1
Does the early bird catch the worm? No, he saves it for tea: Animals seek out food in the morning but don‘t tuck in until afternoon. The early bird，strategy was revealed in an experiment in which over 2,000 birds were fitted with tiny radio tags which activated when they landed on feeders hidden in the woods. The feeders were moved around over the course of the day and the researchers noted when the birds landed on them. This revealed that the birds were much better at finding the feeders‘ new locations in the morning. However, they waited until the afternoon to get tucked in. The researchers said the complex strategy acts as an insurance policy, with birds remaining light yet still able to get enough fat to survive the night. It is particularly important in winter when the risks of predation (捕食) are high and just one day without food can make the difference between life and death for small birds.
