Valentine's Day Card | |
Valentine's Day is time to show special people in your life that you care about them. One way |to mark the day is to give Valentine's Day cards. Homemade cards can be especially fun to share because you can make your friends and family feel extra loved. Here's how to get started. | |
Collect supplies (something available to be used) Instead of buying something new, start with what you already have at home. Look in your craft area for colorful paper, stickers, markers, ribbons, and glitter. You can also use recycled supplies, such as flyers you've gotten in the mail or colorful packaging from items you've purchased. | Get elegant Once you have your basic card and message, it's time to layer on more shapes cut from paper. Use fun craft scissors (like waves or zigzags)to cut out hearts, stars, or other shapes |of various sizes and glue them onto the card, either on top of one another or in different spots. If you like, you could even tape a small candy or toy to the card. |
Start with a base | Add a note |
Choose a piece of thicker paper. You can pick |a classic Valentine's Day color, like pink or red, |or my shade you prefer. Fold it in half to make a card with a front and an inside. Or cut the |paper into a shape (like a heart) to make a flat |card with designs on the front and back. | After you have the shape of your card ready, write a message on it. You can write a longer note about why you appreciate the person you're giving the card to, including an inside joke, or a Valentine's Day saying. For example, you could write "Our friendship is blooming" and then decorate your card with flowers. |
Fun facts about Valentine candy ·The first heart-shaped candy boxes were produced for Valentine's Day in 1861. ·Conversation hearts, another popular candy for the holiday, were originally produced in 1800s. ·Although roses are popular gifts, 69%of Americans would prefer chocolates. ·In Japan, only women hand out chocolates or other gifts on Valentine's Day.

These days, more and more people are getting the latest news from a screen rather than a paper. Yet many people still find it exciting to open a freshly printed newspaper to discover what’s in it. Scanning through a copy of the morning paper has become an irreplaceable part of their day. One of the most popular dailies in the United States is The New York Times. Every night, the paper gets printed at 26 plants across the country. College Point, built in 1997, is the biggest among them. It prints 1.7 million copies of The New York Times every week.
If you ever have a chance to visit College Point, you will be impressed by many things. The first among them is perhaps the paper rolls. Each of them is half as heavy as a car (that is, about 900 kilograms). They are moved from the storage to the printing presses with the help of three robotic arms. There are also 30,000 liters (升) of black ink and 9,500 liters of colored ink. Trucks deliver ink to the plant every week.
Finished newspaper pages are sent digitally from the newsroom to the plant. They are then burned (刻) with lasers onto thin aluminum (铝制的) sheets called plates. There are seven printing presses at College Point. Each of them is several stories tall. During a print run, they can print as many as 80,000 newspapers per hour. Pressmen would carefully adjust the presses before they place the plates on the machines. Electricians and machinists are also on hand during this setup to solve any problems that may occur. The noise of the running presses is awful. Each press is shut down for one shift (轮班) each week. Press staff will then climb inside to maintain (保养) the machine’s key parts.
Sometimes, news breaks during a press run. If it’s important enough, the newsroom will call to “Stop the presses!” Often, the copies that have already been printed won’t be thrown away, but the rest of the night’s run will be based on the updated version.
Usually, all print runs of The New York Times are completed by 3 a.m. Maintenance and electrical teams will then make preparations for the next shift. The plant is so large that they have to ride bicycles in order to get around!

44. According to the article, how often are the key parts of College Point’s printing presses maintained?

I have been a staff writer for the school newspaper, the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won’t work as a journalist after my graduation, but this doesn’t mean my experience in student journalism has been useless. In fact, I have picked up many important skills through this job.
I still remember my first news story. It was about the victory of the school baseball team. I attended the celebration and was told to do some interviews. I was frightened. Talking to strangers was one of my fears. But I gathered my courage and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This opportunity gave me confidence and helped me to improve my social skills.
In journalism, everything has to be based on facts. As a student journalist, I have learned to do research and to think critically about what I read. Discovering the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also an increasingly useful skill in everyday life.
As a student journalist, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I’m never afraid of asking people for feedback (反馈意见). I have learned how not to take negative (负面的) feedback personally and how to use it to make improvements to myself.
Journalism is a stressful field to work in, but I’m thankful that I have had the opportunity to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen. If you are ever given a chance to write for a campus newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!
46. According to the article, after her university graduation, the author will be likely to ________ .
A. stop working in journalism B. work as a full-time journalist
C. continue to write for the Dagligtale D. introduce the Dagligtale to more people
47. The first story that the author wrote for the Dagligtale most likely appeared on the ________ page.
A. Entertainment B. Letters C. Sports D. Opinion
48. We can learn from the article that the author used to be ________ .
A. irresponsible B. lazy C. unhappy D. shy
49. What is the author’s attitude towards negative feedback now?
A. She is often very sad about it. B. She usually turns a blind eye to it.
C. She listens to it and improves herself accordingly. D. She often has both good and bad feelings about it.
50. According to the author, what skill has become more and more useful in our daily lives?
A. Story-telling. B. Critical thinking. C. Time management. D. Social communication.
