　　People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines（圣地）.Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

　　Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them Every summer, more than25million people travel to Mediterranean resorts（勝地）and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun !

　　The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30000 hotels are booked solid（全部客滿）every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.

　　But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and loneliness. They bear traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

(1) The writer seems to mean that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that they

[　　]

A．want to see historic remains or religious spots

B．a(chǎn)re interested in different cultural traditions and social customs

C．would like to take pictures in front of famous sites

D．wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days at home

(2) In Paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned to ________.

[　　]

A．show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate

B．tell us how wealthy their citizens are

C．suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty

D．prove that they have got more tourists they can handle

(3) According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

[　　]

A．Italy.
B．Spain.
C．France.
D．Greece.

(4) The latter half of the last sentence in Paragraph 3“or one tourist for every person living in Spain”means ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)ll the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists

B．every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country

C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist

D．every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year

(5) According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

[　　]

A．Polluted water.
C．Crowded buses.
B．Traffic jams.
D．Rainy weather.

February has long been a month of romance. 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.

Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?

    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.

Valentine was put into prison because ______.

    A. he killed one of the soldiers           B. he stole a lot of food

    C. he didn’t obey the emperor’s order      D. he didn’t want to be a soldier

The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.

    A. students in China send cards to their teachers

    B. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China

    C. it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China

    D. Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now
