February & June——丰产女神朱诺罗马神话中，朱诺(Juno)是司管生育和保护妇女的神，古罗马人对她十分崇敬。在古罗马，每年的2月初是举行“洁净节”的日子。这一天，人们向丰产女神朱诺(Juno)献祭后，从献祭的牲口身上割下皮革，制成名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。英语中表示2月的词February便是由拉丁文Februa演变而来。这一天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年中犯下的罪过，洗刷自己的灵魂，以求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个纯洁的人。
3月来源于古罗马战神玛尔斯。
而6月自古以来都被视为结婚的旺季，于是人们便把6月奉献给女神朱诺。
Q：这些内容深而多，记不住啊，考试会考吗
A：不过不用担心，目前考试中不会考到这么多，可以有空的时候再自行了解。
考试中会考西方和中国的节日对应的准确时间和日期。有的是阴历有的是阳历。
还会考对应的季节。还可能考一下常识每个月的天数等等
6-8月 summer:最常考的月份，特点 hot，sunny，eat ice-cream go swimming。summer vacation暑假可以去各种景点去玩，那国内的各个城市。杭州西湖，苏州名园，BJ长城香山南锣鼓巷等都需要有一定涉猎。儿童节往年必考 children写法要注意，child单数，children复数。 Children’s Day但考的太多会有些麻木。父亲节在第三个星期日。Father’s Day
9-11月，autumn或者fall:之所以是fall因为leaf多了leaves会fall。叶子会落下来，也是收获的季节 harvest。收获的水果蔬菜等也会被波及例如：pick apples and strawberries。
Ice-skating，New Year’s Day新年对应国外是指元旦，而Spring Festival是春节。 New Year’s指除夕，由于中西方差异，了解上下文去判断，文中想表达哪一天。Dumplings是标志性美食，红包 red packets
3-5月，spring：植树节 Tree Planting Day，植树的流程之前模拟题里考过。
题目：阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白出的最佳选项。
