Valentine’s Day(情人节) was coming. Helen felt hurt and lonely because this was her first Valentine’s Day after the divorce(离婚).

Helen’s twelve-year-old son, Jack, looked at his mother, knowing that this was a difficult time for both of them. In order to make his mother happy, he prepared a present, and handed it to her on Valentine’s Day.

It was a beautiful gift package(纸盒).Helen couldn’t believe what was happening. She opened it and took out a lovely card and a small box.

“Now,” he said, “read the card.” It read as follows:

“I know that this isn’t easy for you because it has been a hard year for both of us. I know that Valentine’s Day is a special day for people in love. I want you to know that I love you. I know that Valentines are supposed to get chocolate. I went to the store today to buy some for you. Luckily, I got the last piece. I told the clerk it was just perfect.”

Helen stood there for a moment and looked at her son. Her eyes sparkled in the light as tears formed in each corner. Jack knew he had done the right thing. Slowly she opened the small box, careful not to tear the paper. She would never forget the moment. She found a chocolate heart that was broken into pieces along with a note:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.”

“Only she likes apples.”

“I have seen the film already.”

“I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

46. From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English.

A. we should look up every word in the dictionary

B. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language

C. we need to put every word into our own language

D. we must read word by word

47. The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English.

A. difficult to understand different sounds

B. important to master the rules in different ways

C. possible to remember the word order

D. easy to master the rules for word order

48. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words

B. The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence

C. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different

D. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning

49. “She only likes apples.” ________.

A. is different from “Only she likes apples.” B. is the same as “Only she likes apples.”

C. means “She likes fruit except apples.” D. means “She doesn’t like apples.”

50. Which is the best title (标题) for this passage?

There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school. Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.
