If the outline was accepted, he would be hired to go on and write up the story.

单选题People in most western countries celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th. It is a special time to send greeting cards called "valentines" to their sweethearts, friends, parents and other family members. Esther A. Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts became one of the first American manufacturers of valentines in 1847. She saw several British valentines and decided to make her own. She used ribbons, lace, flowers and painted leaves on her cards. She hired a staff of young women to help her make these cards and took orders from stores. Today valentines are sold in many stores all over the world and may have messages of love or be very humorous. People also send flowers, candy and gifts to those they want to remember on Valentine's Day. Children in America decorate their classrooms with paper hearts and cupids, and may hold classroom parties to celebrate Valentine's Day with their classmates and teachers.

单选题Manners are different from country to country. Below are some examples of good manners in England. At even a formal (正式的) dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast (提议为…祝酒) before he has a drink. The English re serve (保留) toasts for very formal or very special occasions, such as at a wedding reception or at a party for someone who is retiring. After a private (私人的) dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host (主人) and hostess if it is a fairly for mal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house. Taking one's leave varies in other ways between China and Eng land. The time taken for saying "goodbye" after a private dinner may seem very short to us. Yet strangely enough, English people also often think that we Chinese end such occasions very suddenly. This is be cause English people usually begin to show that they want to leave fir teen or twenty minutes before they actually do by saying things two or three times like, "We' ll have to be going soon. Our baby-sitter has to be home by 11:30." A host does not show his guest around his house unless there is a special reason for doing so. Usually he Just shows him where to "wash his hands". Men often walk on the outside of the pavement when they are with a woman because woman' s dress might have been spoilt by mud splashed up by a carriage in the street. Men also stand up when a woman enters a room, especially in more formal situations.
