10．February is romantic and has long been a month of showing love．With the sweet smell of roses in the air，romantic 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!This is what you see on Valentine's Day，a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome．When the emperor （皇帝） decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives，he didn't allow marriage．
But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret．When his actions were discovered，the emperor sentenced him to death．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，teachers 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．

21．Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country？B
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．Because he wanted to control the birth rate．
22．Valentine was put into prison becauseC．
A．he killed one of the soldiers
B．he stole a lot of food
C．he didn't obey the emperor's order

C．Valentine's Day in China        D．A Romantic Man．

15．More and more interviews are being done via the Internet by way of your webcam（網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭） and they are growing in popularity because they save employers both time and money．Yet，due to the unfamiliar aspects of interviewing virtually，these types of communications can be especially challenging for job-seekers．Here are some key tips that will help you prepare to present yourself at your best．
1．Make certain you are comfortable with the technology．Prepare and practice with an"interview friend"several times to find what you lack（缺乏） before your interview．You'll want to become familiar with the various technical aspects of virtual interviews so that you can present yourself with confidence in the real interview．
2．Be sure your background is professional（專業(yè)的） and tidy．An untidy setting will give the impression that you're disorganized and unprofessional．So be certain to have your computer set up in an area where the background is as businesslike as possible．Also，make sure that your selected area is free from any possible noise or interruptions．
3．Eye contact can be skillful．This requires practice because most people first focus on the activity being displayed on their own computer screens．It makes you look inattentive．You'll need to train yourself to stare at the camera．It's helpful to think of yourself as a television reporter and recognize that the camera represents your audience．
4．Watch your body language．Besides eye contact，there are some extra challenges to one's body language．Be careful not to raise your shoulders or put your head down over your computer screen．Remember to keep your body open，and try to make your gestures as natural as possible．

21．The interviews via the Internet are popular becauseB．
A．they are fashionable and challenging．
B．they save employers time and money．
C．it is an easier way to find good employees．
D．job-seekers can find a good job easily through it．
22．Practice interviewing with an"interview friend"can make youA．
A．confident     B．excited 
C．nervous       D．satisfied
23．According to the text，A．
A．a(chǎn) businesslike background is welcome．
B．you should use as many gestures as possible．
C．staring at the camera will be considered impolite．
D．body language is more important than eye contact．
24．What can be the best title for the text？D
A．A new age for interviews
B．The development of job interviews
C．Some tips for Internet interviewers
D．Some tips about winning a webcam interview．

19．Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly，because they make many mistakes．
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either．The ones who look up every new word do not read fast．Therefore they do not have time to read much．Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems．Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English．But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English．
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100，000 words but do not use them too often．When they are reading，these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context．Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand．They use dictionaries more for writing．If they are not sure how to spell a word，or divide it into syllables （音節(jié)），they always use a dictionary．Also，if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form，they check these in a dictionary．
32．The writer thinks thatC
A．choose a good dictionary，and you'll be successful in learning English
B．dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
C．it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly

A．At the beginning of the reading         
B．At the end of the reading
