What do Russia’s Belgorod province and some schools in Florida and Connecticut have in common? They are unlikely recruits to the war on Valentine’s Day. In 2011 the governor of Belgorod banned celebration of the holiday in educational and cultural institutions on the【C1】______that it was harmful to Russian spirituality and【C2】______. Last year two schools in Orange County, Florida,【C3】______Valentine’s gift-giving, citing such reasons【C4】______the need to "maintain instructional focus" and "【C5】______distraction".

In 1913 Hallmark produced their first【C15】______Valentine’s card. In the 1980s the diamond industry followed flower’s and chocolate’s businessmen, who had already【C16】______Valentine’s Day as a moment to give (or expect) a【C17】______gift.
What bothers some of Valentine’s Day’s enemies is its Christian, or Western, origins. For others the problem is the stimulation to commerciality, evil or even unhealthy eating.【C18】______their battle is doomed to failure. Valentine’s Day has a conveniently unspecific origin myth. It【C19】______cheer to the post-Christmas depression. It provides an opportunity to give and get, and, for businesses, to【C20】______.
