Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.
Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.

听力原文: Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "don't!". But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary gift working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

Woman: Fine, thanks.
Man: Are you sure you are all right? You look a bit worried today. Is there anything wrong?
Woman: Well, yes, there is something wrong actually. Perhaps you can give me some advice.
Man: Of course, if I can.
Woman: Well, last night when I returned from the theatre, I found that I'd lost my wallet.
Man: Oh, dear! That's terrible! What was in your wallet?
Woman: Well, some money, of course, my visa, all my identity cards and some photos.
Man: Well, if I were you, I'd go to the police station straight away and report it.
Woman: Yes, I've already done that, and they said that they'd make a search for it. But we're leaving soon and I need my visa and identity cards badly.
Man: Oh, dear! What a pity! Are you sure you lost the wallet in the theatre?
Woman: Yes, quite sure.
Man: I think you should put an advertisement in the China Dally, saying when and where you lost it.
Woman: But that takes too long.
Man: Walt a minute! I know! How stupid of me. My uncle lives in Beijing and he lives very close to the theatre. I'll telephone him and ask him to go there. You'd better go and have breakfast and I'll meet you later.
Woman: Oh, thank you. That's marvelous. I hope he finds it.
