1. (2023七上·瑞安月考)  阅读理解

Every month(月份) has its saying. But for some people, every month has its color. January is white. White symbolizes(象征) a fresh start to the New Year. Everything is new when the New Year starts. February is red and pink. It is the month of love and Valentine's Day. June is orange, symbolizing the start of summer. But they are not yet people's favorite months.

15,120 Americans were asked what their favorite month is. About one in seven say October is their favorite time of year. The colors of October are orange and black. These two colors are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. Just as the great writer LM. Montgomery said, "I'm so happy I live in a world where there are Octobers."
