大學聯考英語閱讀理解【2】Welcome to Words and Their Stories. Today, we are going to talk about "autumn". Autumn is also called "fall". This is probably because it is the time when trees lose their leaves and they fall to the ground.
However, even earlier, the season was called "harvest". In the early days of the United States, autumn was a time for preparing for the winter months by collecting and preserving food. People gathered corn, nuts and berries. They also dried and salted meats to feed themselves through the long, cold winter.
To prepare for the winter months, some animals gather food. The squirrel(松鼠) , is well known for its skill in this activity. Squirrels gather and store seeds and nuts in their nests. This activity helps them survive the winter, and it also gives us a common expression.
To "squirrel something away" means to save it for future use. We often use this expression when talking about money and food. For example, a child might squirrel away his chocolate, hiding it from brothers and sisters. This guarantees the child can satisfy his sweet tooth at any time.
Unlike squirrels, who are active and busy during the autumn, many people slow down during this time. The expression "autumn years" refers to the later years of a person' s life, especially after a person has stopped working. For example, "She worked hard all her life. She saved her money and invested it wisely. So, she was able to enjoy her autumn years in comfort. She was finally able to travel around the world."
As summer ends, so does today's Words and Their Stories. And like summer, we will return, not in a year, but rather next week!

A. Autumn. B. Fall. C Harvest D. Summer.
19. What does the underlined word "preserving" probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Preventing food from going bad. B. Hiding food in a big pool.
C. Selling food to other people. D. Serving food with large dishes.
20. Why is the child who hides his chocolate mentioned in the passage?
