听力原文： To find out how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land, of expanding trade beyond their borders and of spreading their faith across the world. In 1535, Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator named Jacques Cartier to explore the New World and search for a passage to India.
Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands, if it was, be would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term "Canada" entered the country's history. Apparently the word "Canada" came from an Indian word Kanata, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge village Canada is!

听力原文：M: Hello, Mary. Why do you look so upset？
W: Well, every February, candy, flowers and gifts are everywhere. But where is mine？ I hate this St. Valentine's Day. Who on earth is this saint and why do we have to celebrate this holiday？
M: Oh, don't be so depressed; your Mr. Right is waiting for you not far away. Just be a little patient. And I can tell you that the saint himself was not very happy on this day either.
W: Why？ That's interesting, tell me.
M: Well, there are several stories about this man from both Christian and ancient Roman traditions.
W: That means we are not very sure of the exact history of it, are we？
M: Yes, but we do know that February has long been a month of romance.
W: Then what happened to this Valentine？ Why did you say it's a tragedy？
M: Well, one story said that Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself. When he was a prisoner, Valentine fell in love with a young girl who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, in which he signed "From your Valentine".
W: Wow, it's so sad and so romantic!
M: Well, so don't be upset anymore. At least your future Valentine will be there and alive.
W: That doesn't help. I'm still very frustrated.
