Ngày Thánh Valentine là một kỷ niệm lãng mạn và tình yêu. Kỳ nghỉ này xuất phát từ một lễ hội La Mã cổ đại được gọi là Lễ Lupercalia sau một người La Mã gọi là Thánh Valentine, người đã tử vì từ chối từ bỏ Kitô giáo. Ông qua đời vào ngày 14 tháng 2, và ngày đó được dành để tôn vinh ông. Thánh Valentine được đặt tên là vị thánh bảo trợ của những người yêu thích và ngày 14 tháng 2 đã trở thành ngày trao đổi thư tình hoặc massage và gửi hoa (thường là hoa hồng đỏ), và kẹo sô cô la cho người thân yêu. Màu sắc của ngày lễ Thánh Valentine có màu đỏ và trắng. Các em học sinh có các bữa tiệc trong lớp với kẹo Valentine và gửi thẻ Valentine cho nhau.

Điền vào số 35
A. take on
B. bore
C. put on
D. wore
Đáp án D.
Tạm dịch: Women ___________ new hats, called Easter bonnets: Phụ nữ _________ những chiếc mũ mới được gọi là mũ Phục Sinh.
A. take on: đảm nhiệm
B. bore: chịu đựng
C. put on: mặc thứ gì lên người
D. wore: mặc thứ gì lên người
Loại đáp án A vì đây đang là câu kể phải để ở thì quá khứ đơn, đáp án A lại là hiện tại đơn. Loại đáp án B vì không hợp nghĩa. Xét sự khác nhau giữa đáp án C và D:
- to put on: nhấn mạnh vào động tác mặc lên người.
Ex: Anna is in the changing room putting on her clothes: Anna đang ở trong phòng thay đồ mặc quần áo.
- to wear: chỉ tình trạng đang mặc gì đó.
Ex: He’s wearing his best outfit today: Hôm nay anh ta diện bộ đồ đẹp nhất của anh ta.
Vì tác giả chỉ đang đề cập tới việc trong quá khứ, phụ nữ đội mũ Phục Sinh nên không nhấn mạnh vào động tác, mà vào hình ảnh, trạng thái.
Vậy chọn đáp án D.
