题目内容

I return to my hometown of Wilson Creek after I have been away for 10 years.

So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek,there was a small pond on the right as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball court on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. We used to drive for several hours from the city center to get there. Now,a new stand has been added so that more people could sit. It looks really great.

The biggest changes have taken place in the center of the city. It has been changed into a walking area and you can't drive there any more. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.

My street looks just the same as it always does but a public library has been built in the next street along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees,which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Another improvement is the number of new restaurants. A Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home,which is where I am going tonight!

Groundhog Day is held on Feb. 2 in Punxsutawney,Pennsylvania,a state in the northeastern U. S. every year. And you might be wondering how a groundhog landed the job of predicting the weather. The tradition goes like this： If a groundhog sees his shadow this morning,there will be six more weeks of winter.

If he doesn’t see his shadow,spring is on the way,that is to say,we luck out with an early spring.

Since a groundhog hibernates for the winter,its coming out of the ground is a natural sign of spring. Centuries ago,people in Europe watched for a badger or bear as signs of winter's end,rather than a groundhog. Germans who moved to Pennsylvania in the mid-1800s began keeping an eye on the groundhog. The large population of the little animal made it easy for them to forecast the weather.

It also has religious origins,just like Candlemas,which is also on Feb. 2.Candlemas Day is a Christian holiday. Early Christians believed that if the sun came out on Candlemas Day,winter would last for six more weeks.

In the 1880s, some friends in Punxsutawney,Pennsylvania,went into the woods on Candlemas Day to look for groundhogs. This outing became a tradition,and a local newspaper editor nicknamed the seekers “the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club”. Starting in 1887 the search became an official event and centered on a groundhog called “Punxsutawney Phil”. A ceremony still takes place every year. Groundhog Day is not a legal holiday;nobody gets off work. Many American cities have their own special groundhogs;New York City's official groundhog is called “Pothole Pete”，but “Punxsutawney Phil” gets the most attention. So far,Phil has seen his shadow about 85 % of the time.

() 1. According to the passage,spring is coming near if .

A. a duck is swimming in the river

B. a groundhog cannot see its shadow

C. a groundhog can see its shadow

D. a bear is sleeping in the tree hole

() 2. People in Europe watched for a badger in order to .

A. predict the weather B. take the place of a groundhog

C. celebrate the festival D. catch it as a pet

() 3. The underlined word “them” refers to .

A. the groundhogs in Punxsutawney in the mid-1880s

B. people in Europe centuries ago

C. Germans who moved to Pennsylvania in the mid-1800s

D. bears or other hibernating animals
