Valentine’s Day is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christmas churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1700 years ago, but the day which is named after him is even earlier than that.
More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.
Now, lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they sent each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candies. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, “Jane, I love you very much”. Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, May.”
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries. This means someone can send a Valentine message to the lover in a far-away place almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.

According to a study by SallieMae, 84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards, and by the time they are seniors, they have accumulated US $ 4,100 in debt, on top of whatever student loans they may have taken out.
Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment, and they are aggressively marketed to college students.Reportedly, a typical college student carries 4.6 credit cards and US $ 3,173 in credit card debt.
Credit cards seem to be a fact of life, not just student life. In the long term,  using a credit card properly and paying off the balance can help establish a card history and increase your credit score, which will come in handy when you need an important loan, for a house or car, for example.Your credit score can affect even unrelated things like insurance rates.Credit cards also offer more protection for users than debit cards(借記卡).Under federal law, the credit card holder is only responsible for the first US  $ 50in fraudulent(欺詐的) purchases in cases of theft or loss.However, debit card users are responsible for the first US $ 500.                                   
SallieMae found some good news in the fact that two thirds of students had discussed credit issues with their parents, but 84 percent said they needed more information.Those who didn't get any guidance were more likely to be surprised when they found out how much they owed.
While credit cards offer the easiest access to money, they make it easy to live outside your means.Less than a fifth of students surveyed paid off their balance every month, and carrying a balance brings finance charges, sometimes at a very high interest rates.
SallieMae found that almost 40 percent of students chose their first credit card based on direct mail, which is probably why students get credit card offers in the mail. But when the credit card offers flow in, be sure that you read the fine print.Offers of low or no interest rates can disappear, leaving you a debt that climbs beyond your ability to pay it off.
【小題1】What does the first paragraph imply?

A.Most of the senior students are shocked to see how much they owed.
B.Students can only take out loans from credit cards.
C.Most of students' loans come from credit cards.
D.Credit cards have a bad effect on college students.
【小題2】The underlined part "come in handy" in the third paragraph probably means “         ”
A.bring troubleB.make mistakes
C.be importantD.be useful
【小題3】According to SallieMae, what is the possible reason why students get so many credit card offers in the mail?
A.Many students' first credit card is based on direct mail.
B.it costs the banks little to mail out credit cards.
C.Students don't like to go to the bank to open a credit card account.
D.Banks have no other way to let students use their credit cards.
【小題4】What is the theme of the third paragraph?
A.The advantages of using debit cards.
B.The similarities between credit cards and debit cards.
C.The advantages of using credit cards.
D.Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment.
【小題5】According to SallieMae, how many students had not discussed credit issues with their parents?
A.l/3B.2/3 C.l/4D.3/4

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament(錦標(biāo)賽)last summer in Wisconsin, US.

The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.

Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.

If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls(假摔以使對方犯規(guī)).

Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties(處罰)on themselves.

 “It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.

Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”

So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   

Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(開球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.

1.What can we infer from the text?  

   A. A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.     

   B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.    

   C. Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.

   D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.

2.According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.

A. honor comes before victory

B. players are superior to coaches

C. referees have to watch each shot     

D. players needn't care about medals

3. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

   A. One should be praised for not robbing a bank.

B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.

C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.

D. Observing rules demands no praise.

4. Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

A. He remembered the lesson.                                                 B. He lacked self-confidence.

C. He felt a little too nervous.                            

D. He was no good with numbers.
