Michael went back to Fullerton, his hometown last month. Michael’s visit to Fullerton was very special to him. He was born there, he grew up there, but he hadn’t been back there since he finished high school.
He went to places he hadn’t gone to in years. He walked through the park in the center of town and remembered the days he had walked through that same park with his girlfriend. He passed by the empty field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood for a while in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he had spent there sitting in the balcony, watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.
He did things he hadn’t done in a long time. He had some homemade ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park, and he went fishing at the lake on the outskirts of town. For a little while, he felt like a kid again. He hadn’t had homemade ice cream, ridden on a merry-go-round, or gone fishing since he was a young boy.
He also saw people he hadn’t seen in years. He visited several of his old neighbors who had never moved out of the neighborhood. He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his houses. And he even bumped into Mrs Riley, his tenth-grade science teacher.
During his visit to his hometown, Michael remembered places he hadn’t gone to, things he hadn’t done, and people he hadn’t seen since his childhood. Michael’s trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic (乡愁的) experience for him. Going back to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by.
根据语篇内容,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
(F)1.Michael moved back to Fullerton last month.
(T)2.He hadn’t seen Fullerton in years.
(F)3.When Michael passed by the field last month, children were playing baseball.
(T)4.Michael enjoyed going to the movies when he was young.
(F)5.Michael rode on the merry-go-round when he was a young boy.

Michael went back to Fullerton, his hometown last month. Michael’s visit to Fullerton was very special to him. He was born there, he grew up there, but he hadn’t been back there since he finished high school.
He went to places he hadn’t gone to in years. He walked through the park in the center of town and remembered the days he had walked through that same park with his girlfriend. He passed by the empty field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood for a while in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he had spent there sitting in the balcony, watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.
He did things he hadn’t done in a long time. He had some homemade ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park, and he went fishing at the lake on the outskirts of town. For a little while, he felt like a kid again. He hadn’t had homemade ice cream, ridden on a merry-go-round, or gone fishing since he was a young boy.
He also saw people he hadn’t seen in years. He visited several of his old neighbors who had never moved out of the neighborhood. He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his houses. And he even bumped into Mrs Riley, his tenth-grade science teacher.
During his visit to his hometown, Michael remembered places he hadn’t gone to, things he hadn’t done, and people he hadn’t seen since his childhood. Michael’s trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic (乡愁的) experience for him. Going back to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by.
根据语篇内容,判断下列句子正( )误( )。
( )1.Michael moved back to Fullerton last month.
( )2.He hadn’t seen Fullerton in years.
( )3.When Michael passed by the field last month, children were playing baseball.
( )4.Michael enjoyed going to the movies when he was young.
( )5.Michael rode on the merry-go-round when he was a young boy.
