Can you guess who gets the greatest number of Valentine cards in the United States each year? Is it mother or father, sister or brother? Is it uncle or aunt? Is it the special friend? No, it isn't!
Mothers get a lot of cards, but school teachers get the most each year. Do you know who sends the most? Children do. Children send five times as many on February 14th as adults do.

                                                                                          乞丐 

                                                                                        屠格涅夫
      我在街上走着……一个乞丐──一个衰弱的老人挡住了我。
      红肿的、含着泪水的眼睛，发青的嘴唇，粗糙、褴褛的衣服，龌龊的伤口……呵，贫困把这个不幸的人，弄成什么样子啊！　　
      他向我伸出一只（①）、肮脏的手……他呻吟着，他哀求施舍。
　　我伸手搜索自己所有的口袋……没有钱包，没有表，也没有一块手帕……我随身什么东西也没带。
　　但乞丐在等待着……他伸出来的手，无力地摆动着，发着颤。
　　我惘然无措，惶惑不安，紧紧地握了握这只肮脏的（②）的手：“请原谅，兄弟！”
　　乞丐那对红肿的眼睛凝视着我；他发青的嘴唇笑了笑──而且，他也紧紧地握了握我（③）的手指。
　　“哪儿的话，兄弟！”他嘟哝着说，“这已经是很可感谢的了，这也是恩惠啊，兄弟！”
　　我明白，我也从我的□□那儿得到了□□。
