VENICE, a small, waterside city in northeast Italy, boils with happiness and excitement once every year. Between February 21 and March 4, carnival(狂欢节)hits the streets.

For most people, carnival means large parties and feasting(盛宴). But in Venice, it also means traditional masks and clothes.

These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities. Then, different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.

Along the waterways, people greeted each other with:”Good morning Ms Mask!”

Today, people in Venice still dress up in the strangest ways as armed soldiers, butchers and fishermen, for example.

Bars and cafés are filled with party-goers who come to show off their beautiful clothes. Their

Designs and creations are made by special studios. Ready-made costumes are not acceptable.

“In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand,” said a mask-maker.”Many kilometers of silk and lace(花边)are made into costumes. For shopkeepers, carnival is the best time of year.”

The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the city was one of the wealthiest in Europe.

The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the” Stocking “Companies”. These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colorful stockings to distinguish(区分)themselves.

By the 18th century, the carnival had reached its top. It all came to an end when Napoleon controlled Venice in 1797.But in 1797, local people brought the old traditions back to life.

Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world. This year, about 700,000 people are taking part. Hotels were fully booked months in advance, and bars and restaurants overflow every day.

The city certainly benefits—a whole industry has been built up around the carnival’s masks and clothes.

“The Venice carnival is a magical time! It’s such a great experience,” said one French tourist.

A. People in Venice like parties. B. Venice was a happy city.

C. There used to be strong feelings of social class in Venice.

D. Venice was a city of silk and lace.

22. When was the carnival the biggest?

A. In the middle ages. B. In the 18th century. C. In 1797. D. In 1979

23. Who started the tradition of wearing masks and costumes?

A. Napoleon B. Young men C. The hotel industry D. The silk and lace makers.

24. What is the main idea of the article?

A. How the carnival is celebrated in Venice.

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.

A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.

D. Because he wanted to control the birth rate.

30. Valentine was put into prison because ______.

A. he killed one of the soldiers

C. he didn’t obey the emperor’s order
