This
3、is the time of year when the Green Mountains transform themselves in a brilliant display of colors. There was some talk that this year, due to the lack of normal rainfall, the colors might not be as beautiful as during a normal year. However, this does not seem to be the case.

10、数人是这样认为的。叶子在变化着颜色，在一些更加隐蔽的地方，树叶已经历了霜冻。清晨的云彩低低地飘在山谷里，直到阳光将它们驱散。经历了干燥的生长季节，玉米杆还是长得高高的，苹果枝被累累的果实压得很低。,赏叶季节来了,Text,2 赏叶季节就要来了。在这个季节里，绿山山脉将自己装扮得五彩斑斓。有人说今年雨量偏少，也许因此山林中的绚丽色彩同往年相比会大打折扣。然而，情况似乎并非如此。今早去办公室的路上，我发现山上一片生机盎然：红色、黄色和橙色闪着金光。今年，大自然不会让我们失望，这实属一件乐事。每年，都会有成千上万的人来到佛蒙特，观赏这一年一度的胜景。而其中的许多人还会年复一年地过来，住在同一个他们多

12、佛蒙特也住着许多随季节而迁徙的人们。对他们来说，秋天是他们暂别佛蒙特的季节。,Text,赏叶季节来了,4 农民像海狸和松鼠一样，忙着收获和储藏食物。而其他的人则是在家里忙前忙后。夏季已经过去，我们有短暂的时间来充实我们的粮仓，修缮家园，然后等待冬雪的到来。,Text,赏叶季节来了,foliage,n. 总称 叶子，没有单复数形式的区别,e.g.,The foliage are changing from green to yellow when autumn is drawing near. 当秋天临近，树叶由绿变黄。,Text,suspect,vt. 疑有, 推测，对表示怀疑：后面可以跟宾语
