問題詳情:
Valentine's Day is a holiday honouring lovers. It is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian (
基督教的) churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 1
4 more than 1 700 years ago, but the day that has his name 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(
容器) 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.
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine's Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send 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 ets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love yo
ver. Mary. "
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local,but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars or more. An employee (
