根據短文內容，從短文後的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多餘選項。

“_____1______ It all depends on your personality,” said British naturalist Richard Mabey. “Personality shapes your view of the season,” he said. “You may see it as a fading away, a packing up（結束）, or as a time of packing in another sense –the gathering of resources before a long journey.”

_____2______ About November, he wrote:

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees

November!

On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn. _____3______

According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side. _____4______ For example, just at the moment that Keats's “gathering swallows” （in To Autumn） are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. People might argue that it is the coloring of the leaves and their eventual fall that make people feel sad about autumn. But no one is sure why trees drop their leaves in the first place. It may be likely to rid the poisonous material trees collect over the summer. ______5______

A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn. And suppose we could disintegrate（瓦解） like autumn leaves…Would not our attitude towards death be different?”

       A．Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.

       B．He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about autumn.

       C．Keats thought we should take a negative attitude towards death.

       D．Autumn means different to different people.

       E. If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet.

       F．More likely, it is a way of reducing the loss of water, which tree roots find hard to take in

from cold soil.

       G．The fall of tree leaves is more likely to make people sad.
