Why would anyone want to set aside a day to honor a lowly little groundhog? The answer to that question is not certain, but a group of people get together every February 2 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to watch Punxsutawney "Pete" leave his burrow. What "Pete" does next, many believe, will indicate whether spring is just around the comer or a long way off, You see, in Pennsylvania on this date there is usually a great deal of snow on the ground, and the little animal has been hibernating during the long, cold winter. He gorged himself during the autumn months and then went into his burrow for a long sleep, his body fat helping keep him alive. But as he emerges on February 2, he looks very thin. If the sun is shining brightly and he sees his shadow, according to legend, it scares him back into his home where he will stay another six weeks. Should it be cloudy and gray, the little animal will supposedly wander While many believe in the groundhog’s predictions, it is unwise to accept them as factual.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、Animals have a certain instinct which helps them predict the seasons.
B、According to the legend, the groundhog leaves his burrow on February 2.
C、Groups of people in Pennsylvania wait for the groundhog’s predictions.
D、After his long period of hibernation, the groundhog looks very thin.
答案
A
解析
理解题。根据最后一句话:虽然许多人相信刺猬的预见,但是,把它们的这种预见当作事实是不明智的。所以说动物们有一定的直觉,帮助它们预见季节是不正确的。
