A

Back home from the Navy，I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois.

I’d been out of high school for four years，but my high school headmaster，Mr.Gardner，invited

me to a Valentine’s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was

exciting. So I agreed.

When Friday came, I cleaned up，dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with

my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started

playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at her and I was crazy—I had never seen such

a beautiful girl!

I asked Mr. Gardner who she was，and he answered，“That’s Marilyn Riley，Cut Riley’s

daughter.”I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked

across the gym floor to introduce myself，“Hi，I’m Jack Joseph.”

“I know who you are，”was her not­too­friendly response.

“Would you like to dance？” I asked. “No！I’m working，” she shot back.

“Can I call you next week for a movie date？” I asked. “No” was her response.

For the next month I phoned，trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer：No.

Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice，I saw Marilyn,

walking with no umbrella，no raincoat and no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a

ride，half expecting her to say no. Instead，she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat

next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house，but after pulling into her driveway we talked for

45 minutes. It was magic from then on.

(2018·宁波高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as

a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.

The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival

called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to

honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became

the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to

decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a

queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the

ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the

top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They

collected dew(露水)on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed

that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.

Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns

and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole.

May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with

flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never

been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities,

children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper

baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’ and neighbors’ on May

Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and

sing May Day songs.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了欧洲国家的传统节日“五朔节”。

A．People dressed in bright colors.

B．People celebrated it with enthusiasm.

C．People presented flowers to the goddess of spring.

D．People stayed at home instead of going to churches.

B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容特别是第三、四句可知，在中世纪，英国人通过举行各种活动，热情地庆祝五朔节，故B项正确。
