听力原文: St. Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid, the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.
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: When Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician. "Please don't touch, Midori", her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000. But Midori insisted, and she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was banded a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size.

B: Yes. They made him stop working after 50 years at sea. He's pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He has to accept that.
A: He's all alone, isn't he?
B: Yes. His wife's been dead for years. They had one daughter, Doris, but she went off to town as soon as she left school, and he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she's making good money as a model.
A: Maybe someone should get in touch with her, get her to come back for a bit to help?
B: I don't suppose she'd come. She never got on with her father. He's a bit of a tough character, and she's as selfish as before. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He's healthy at least, comes into the clinic for a check regularly.
A: Are you his doctor?
B: No. My colleague, Dr. Thomas is.
A: That bad-tempered old man?
B: Oh, no. Dr. Thomas is not really bad-tempered. He just looks like it. He's an excellent doctor. He teaches me a lot. And he has a very nice family--his wife invites me over there to supper every week, very pleasant.
A: I know his daughter, a bit careless but bright and popular with her age-group.
B: I like that little girl, too.
