Saint Valentine is the name of a great priest during the reign(统治)of Emperor Claudius. At that time Emperor Claudius found it difficult to get soldiers. He believed the reason was that Roman men did not want to leave their wives or families, so he declared that no more marriages could be performed and all engagements(婚约)were cancelled(取消)．Valentine thought this to be unfair and secretly married several couples, for which finally he was put in prison. There he cured a jailer's( 狱 卒 )blind daughter, which made Claudius angry and he was executed(处死)on February 14, 270 AD. Before his execution, he sent her a note saying, “From your Valentine”. The phrase is still widely used on Valentine's Day today. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius declared(宣告)February 14 the Valentine's Day, a day for celebrating love, in the name of St. Valentine. But it was not until 1537 that St. Valentine's day became an official holiday by England's King Henry Ⅷ. It was another century and a half before religious cards became non－religious cards to reflect the change in the holiday. From then on, in memory of Saint Valentine, every year on February 14th is Valentine's Day, a day for celebrating love. 请根据语义及提示写出单词 1. You can not __________(指望)me to do everything. 2.
