their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year. Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, “ Jane, I love you very much” . Others say more, for example, “ Dan, Roses are red. Violets（紫罗兰） are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you.

C Blacktailed godwits (黑尾塍鹬 ), a migrating bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, north Africa and north Australia, fly south every winter. Then, they return home to spend the summer months with their life long partner. Now, scientists have found, pairs of godwits often return to their summer breeding grounds within three days of each other, even though they spend the entire winter apart. Researchers in England, put coloured leg bands on the birds. Then, they asked birdwatchers around Europe to report by when and where they saw the birds during the winter. The simplest way for birds to return at the same time would be to spend the winter together. After all, if they’re in different places, they can’t call each other on the phone and talk about when they’ll meet again. But, the survey found that couples usually spent their winters in different countries up to 1,000 kilometers apart. One male, for example, spent the winter on the coast of Ireland while his mate was in France. These findings are important for protecting the birds, scientists say. Blacktailed godwits live for up to 25 years. They spend their summers in Iceland, where they mate, but they spread all over other parts of Europe in winter.
