expressions Words and expressions IV.IV.TextText2/52Is there any love at first sight?Why?Is there any love at first sight?Why?Yes.The factors for such love can be analyzed as follows:1)It is the human nature to love anything beautiful;2)Physical attraction is the first seed of love;3)Love in ones heart is like a hidden fire;4)Love,whatever form it takes,is usually blind;DiscussionDiscussionDiscussionDiscussionkey3/52No.The reasons for absence of such love can be deduced as follows:1)Looks can be deceitful;2)It takes time for true love to grow;3)Love is an integration of two minds into one;4)Such love is like a flash in the pan;4/52Can true love grow between pen pals or Can true love grow between pen pals or Can true love grow between pen pals or Can true love grow between pen pals or net friends who have never met each net friends who have never met each net friends who have never met each net friends who have never met each other?Why?other?Why?other?Why?other?Why?DiscussionDiscussionDiscussionDiscussionkey5/52For referenceFor reference Yes.1)Love is a product of communication.It is through lines of communication that both sides know each others inner world and how much they can have in common.2)Love feeds on mystery about each other.To any of us,what attracts is just something mysterious about others.6/52The same holds true for lovers,because correspondence like this is often characteristic of mystery about each other.3)Love is born of beauty in the distance.As an old Chinese saying goes,distance produces beauty.A case in point is the popular poemYou live at the head of the Yangtze River while I live at its end;I miss you day and night without seeing you ever;but the truth is we drink water from the same river.7/52No.1)Love does not grow without contact between two minds.It is well said that sparks of love shine with frequent clashes of two hearts.No collision of their ideas,no birth of true love.2)True love depends on acceptance of each others demerits as well as on hunger for each others merits.But such correspondence almost never reflects the weaknesses of lovers.8/523)True love is based on the ups and downs of lovers in daily life.Deprived of such rises and falls in everyday life,lovers find no way to know,understand,and respect each other from all sides,thus making it impossible for both to be sure whether they are a good match.9/52 The History of Valentines Day （情人节（情人节on Feb.14）St.Valentines Day,as we know it today,St.Valentines Day,as we know it today,contains

公元3世纪，罗马帝国皇帝克劳迪乌斯二世在首都罗马宣告废弃全部婚姻承诺，当初是出于战争考虑，使更多无所牵挂男人能够走上争战疆场。一名叫瓦仑廷（Saint Valentine）神父没有遵照这个旨意而继续为相爱年轻人举行教堂婚礼。事情被告发后，瓦仑廷神父先是被鞭打，然后被石头掷打，最终在公元270年2月14日这天被送上了绞架被绞死。14世纪以后，人们就开始纪念这个日子。现在，汉字译为“情人节”这个日子，在西方国家里就被称为Valentines Day，用以纪念那位为情人做主而牺牲神父。16/52听说瓦伦丁是最早基督徒之一，那个时代做一名基督徒意味着危险和死亡。为掩护其它殉教者，瓦沦丁被抓住，投入了监牢。在那里他治愈了典狱长女儿失明双眼。当暴君听到着一奇迹时，他感到非常害怕，于是将瓦沦丁斩首示众。据传说，在行刑那一天早晨，瓦沦丁给典狱长女儿写了一封情意绵绵告别信，落款是：From your Valentine（寄自你瓦伦丁）。当日，盲女在他墓前种了一棵开红花杏树，以寄托自己情思，这一天就是2月14日。自此以后，基督教便把2月14日定为情人节。17/52Words and expressions18/52Volunteer v.自愿（做某事）for sth for the Navy 自愿参加海军to do sth She volunteered to clean the
