What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". 1. Why does this season have two names in English? According to Dictionary. com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops（莊稼）would become ripe（成熟）and farmers would have a big harvest（豐收）. 2.

Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. 3. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it "the fall of the leaf', or "fall" for short.

4. It gradually replaced（替代）"fall" as the word for this season.

At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. 5.

A. English speakers needed a different name for the season.

B. The season in October is autumn.

C. But at the end of the 1600s, "autumn" from the French word, came to England.

D. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest".

E. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season.

F. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both "autumn" and "fall".

G. Why is it called both“fall”and“autumn”?

Learning how to eat with chopsticks is not as difficult as it appears, and like all things in life, practice makes perfect! Follow the simple steps down below and practice often, soon you will also be eating smoothly.

Chinese food is often prepared and served in small size pieces, which makes it easy when eating with chopsticks.

How do you use chopsticks?

(1) Hold the first chopstick between your fourth and middle fingers. This chopstick keeps still, and it does not move. Your thumb should help keep it in place.

(2) Make the second chopstick slide (滑動) between your thumb and index fingers. You move this chopstick by moving the index finger up and down. This movement will open and close the chopsticks, which is how you will pick up food.

As you practice, you will develop your “own” skills, and find out what works better for you. There is no right or wrong way in fact. Like holding a pencil, many people do it differently but the only goal is to write. With chopsticks, the goal is to get food in your mouth.

1.The writer may think eating with chopsticks is _____.

A.very difficult B.not so difficult

C.very easy D.not so easy

2.The first chopstick should be held _____.

A.between your thumb and index fingers

B.between your middle and index fingers

C.between your fourth and little fingers

D.between your fourth and middle fingers

3.How can we open and close the chopsticks?

A.By moving the index finger up and down.

B.By moving the index finger left and right.

C.By moving the middle finger up and down.

D.By moving the middle finger left and right.

4.According to the last paragraph, _____.

A.we must use chopsticks in a right way

B.the pencils can also be used as chopsticks

C.using chopsticks is the same as using pencils

D.different people may use chopsticks differently
