【答案】 CBThe festivities(庆祝活动)which are now related to the celebration of May reached their height in England during the Middle Ages.They were heavily influenced by Italian forms of celebration dating back to the time of ancient Rome.On the first day of May，English villagers got up early to walk in the countryside gathering flowers and branches.A tall Maypole was erected on the village green，which was usually the center of the village.In larger places，such as London，a Maypole was set up and wouldn't be removed for a long time.The Maypole was made of the trunkof a tall tree，and was decorated with bright flowers of the field.In celebration of the season，the villagers danced and sang around the Maypole in the music of a piper (风笛手)．They often wore colorful costumes upon which hung several small bells.The most beautiful girl of the village was chosen to be the Queen of May.In some places of England a May King was also chosen.The Queen and King of May led the village dancers and ruled over the May Day festivities.During the Elizabethan period the king and queen were called Robin Hood and Maid Marian.The Puritans didn't like this celebration.They were opposed to the Maypole and the activities.For a time they succeeded in stopping the celebration of May，but the festivities returned within a few decades and continue in many English villages today.Here is an old English custom which is still observed in some areas.Children visit people house by house.They bring flowers in exchange for pennies.Once the pennies are collected，the children throw them into a wishing well.【语篇解读】本文向我们介绍了在中世纪英国人是如何庆祝五月的。
