The celebration honored the go ds Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Rem us, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priest s paired up young man and women. The girls names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia.

Valentinus( Valentine), a Christian pr iest, defied the emperor and got married in cret. He was caught exec uted(处死)，on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became as sociated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius t aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valenti ne’s Day ever since.

Passage2
Having raid eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents fac e. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impul, which usually means spending. But whe n our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Of cour, deciding to have no TV in the hou was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourlves from its influence. As a child, I grew up in what I now e was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it har d to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Becau my parents gave us c hildren time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no matter how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off t o school each morning.
No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the hap piness of a child does not depend on his or her access to material weal th. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.
Having worked thirty years as a family counlor, I know that parents re ally do love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But wh at does it mean to give a child love? Next time, you feel that you have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve tho fee
lings by bringing ho me gifts, remember that we can’t buy our children’s affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. The are things every parent can provide.
在抚养了八个自己的孩子之后，我明白了父母要面对的尴尬境地.在一个逐渐对孩子充满敌意的世界里，我们想要通过爱的冲动来对孩子表达我们的关心，通常就意味着要花钱但是当我们的孩子回家找我们要最新设计的衣服时，我跟
我的妻子知道我们大多数情况下要说“不”.当然，我们决定家里不买电视是第一个突破.如果我们没能从它的影响中释放出我们自己的感受，我很怀疑我们到底赢了还是输了这场斗争.liting
当我还是孩子的时候，我是在一个现在看来很穷的家里长大的.在我人生的最初几年，我只能吃最少量的食物.然而，我发现我想象不出一个更幸福的童年.为什么?因为我的父母每天都给予了我们时间和关系.比如，不管他们多忙，他们都尽量在每天早上我们上学前跟我们一起吃早餐.
没有一个小孩要在贫穷中渡过但是我坚信一个孩子的幸福肯定不取决于他（她）所拥有的物质财富.毕竟，是我们给予孩子的爱而不是物质会伴随他们的一生. 当了30年的家庭顾问后，我知道父母肯定是爱他们的孩子的，而且都想对他们的孩子最好.但是要给予孩子爱意味着什么?下次，当你觉得你让孩子失望了，然后试图想通过带点礼物给孩子就消除他们的情绪的话，请记住我们买不到孩子的感情.他
们真正想要和需要的是时间和关注，乐于倾听的耳朵和鼓励的话语.这些是任何一位父母都能给予的.

We received your letter dated 2nd July, expressing your dissatisfaction w ith the prent level of your sales in Nigeria. We shall try to explain as briefly as possible how it is that your competitors are doing so well so t hat you may e why it is that we are not. We shall also suggest ways of improving the prent situation. Our difficulties may be summarized a s follows :
Our competitors pay for extensive advertising in newspapers and ma gazines that reach every corner of Nigeria. We receive no financial help for advertising and do not receive sufficient commission to pay for it our lves.
The company referred to in your letter nt a two-man team on a to ur of six provinces in a specially equipped lorry containing the models th ey wished to publicize. Their agent had arranged displays in the towns t hey were due to visit and had announced them in the local press. With such backing from the manufacturer ,high sales are inevitable ! What lls well in Europe does not necessarily ll well elwhere. Your competitors know this and plan accordingly. They give maximum pu blicity to three or four models that are sure to ll well h
ere. We would suggest that you do the same and concentrate on the 98cc Speedy, the 250cc Hunter and the 350cc Hawk.
In spite of the excellent containership rvice between England and Wes t Africa we are still having to wait for too long for orders to be shipped. Once they have placed an order, customers are impatient to receive it.
