(江苏省盐城市建湖县2022-2023学年七年级下学期期中)Can you believe it’s already the fourth month of the year? April! 36
The names of the months in English come from ancient Rome(古罗马), now the capital(首都)city of Italy. It was also the capital city of a large country thousands of years ago. 37 It is the second month on the calendar of ancient Rome, and then it becomes the fourth month of a year.
38 Some people say it comes from the word “Aperire” in the Latin language(拉丁文)—the main language in ancient Rome. 39 In this month, the sky is open. It often rains. The trees become green. Grass and flowers come out. Others say that April comes from the Greek word for “Aphrodite”, the Greek goddess(女神)of love and beauty. 40 Do you like this name?

A. People there call the month “Aprilis”.
