Believing that birds began to mate on February 14, people in the Middle Ages started the card tradition by sending love letters on that day.

 In the 15th century, singing and spoken valentines were slowly replaced by written letters in Europe. The first written valentine is credited to(归功于) Charles, the Duke of Orleans, who wrote love poems to his wife while he was in prison in 1415. By the beginning of the 16th century,  valentines were almost always written. Early valentines were hand-made on colored paper. Often they were tinted(染色) with water colors and inks.

 The 1800s saw valentines made by factory workers. Black and white pictures were painted by the workers in the early part of the century. By the end of the 1800s, the cards were made by machines. These cards were elaborately decorated with gold leaf, satin, lace and flowers. In 1840, the first mass-produced valentine’s cards were made in America. Esther Howland, who sold $5,000 worth of the cards in her first year, created them.

“Education has always had two great goals: To make kids smart and to make kids good,” says psychologist Thomas Lickona at the State University of New York, Cortland. Today’s character education programs replace the “self-respect” movement through which children learned more about feeling good than being good. Now the programs are actually teaching children to do the right thing.

 The best middle level teachers feel they are responsible for educating the whole child, dealing not only with the intellectual development, but the social and emotional development of the student as well. This includes values education and the development of healthy character traits(特征).

Some teachers are not comfortable teaching values, feeling it is best to leave the duty to those who have the knowledge to develop these traits in teenagers. Many teachers do it unconsciously. Every time English teachers teach a novel or social studies teachers discuss current events or leaders from history, they are teaching students about role models and values. Even health teachers teach it when they discuss having healthy lifestyles: if you develop good character traits in yourself, your life is less stressful and you are healthier. Many times teachers don’t realize that they are teaching character development every time they talk to students about cheating or respecting others. Unluckily, some teachers still prefer to leave character development to others.

Student activity advisers, and specifically student council advisers, are in the perfect position to develop activities that involve everyone in the school. A good adviser should develop the program around the six sides of character set forth by Character Counts: trustworthiness(值得信赖), responsibility, respect, fairness, caring, and citizenship. The adviser should first develop activities to further leadership and good character traits in student council members and then develop activities for the entire school.

57. According to Thomas Lickona, one of the educational goal is to make children know ______.

 A. how to respect themselves    B. how to help others

 C. how to be good     D. how to do good deeds

58. “the whole child” (in the 2nd paragraph) refers to one ___________.

A. who has got a good development of healthy character traits

B. who has been developed intellectually

C. who has got a good social and emotional development

 D. developed intellectually and morally with six good character traits

59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

 A. Children with good character traits in themselves are seldom stressed.

B. Some teachers feel it hard to teach values.

C. It is necessary to develop good character traits in student council members.

D. It is unnecessary that activities should involve everyone in the school.

60. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Values are taught on purpose.  B. Values are taught unconsciously.

 C. It’s important to teach values.    D. It’s uncomfortable to teach values.

One possible version:

While traveling, I always take the following things with me, which are my ID card, a camera, a compass, a CD player and some clothes. I think the ID card is a basic and necessary document, and it is often used by tourists. The camera is used to take pictures or record what we have done during the trip, and it can bring us a lot of fun. The compass is very essential for us to travel in the forests. Without it, we may get lost. And then the CD player, I think, is also very important for me to kill the time when on the train or the plane. What’s more, I have to bring one or two coats when traveling to a different place. In a word, among all above, I think the ID card is the most important.
