阅读下面短文,然后根据文意选择正确答案或完成句子。
(A)
Easter Eggs
Easter falls officially on the Sunday following the first full moon after March 21. The name Easter itself derives(起源于) from Europe, the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of springtime and sunrise. Christians relate the rising of the sun to resurrection(复活) of Jesus, Son of God, and therefore Easter represents rebirth of the soul.
It is because of this association of the holiday with rebirth that the egg has long been its chief symbol. The egg was a symbol of spring and fertility (for the egg is the original germ from which all life proceeds) long before the Christian era(纪元). The ancient Persians, GREeks and Chinese exchanged eggs at their Spring Festival. In Christian times the egg took on a new meaning, symbolizing Christ’s tomb—a cold and hard casket(棺材) from which new life finally broke forth in
triumph. In modern times the egg is still the most important part of Easter customs. Egg-rolling contests, egg hunts and egg-dyeing are still very popular with Americans at Easter time. Today Easter is more a family day than a religious holiday. Relatives and friends get together for large Easter dinners. Many American friends get together for large Easter dinners. Many American cities have Easter parades. People enjoy the return of the milder weather by walking outdoors to display their new spring clothes.

Scarecrows
One sure sign of the fall season is the sight of scarecrows everywhere. Scarecrows are used for practical reasons by farmers, and as decorations by many
people. You can find scarecrows on farms and in yards, and also on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other clothing.
Scarecrows were first used over 2000 years ago by farmers who needed to keep birds out of their fields. Crows and blackbirds were always eating the vegetable crops grown by farmers. The farmers had to do something to stop the crows from coming into the fields. They made these human-like objects out of anything they could find. They used sticks, hay, and pine straw, and dressed the scarecrows in old clothing. The farmers tried their best to make these creations look like real people in a field or garden. They hoped that the crows would see the “person” standing in the field and be afraid of it.
Scarecrows are still seen today, but most farmers use other things now to get rid of pesky(讨厌的) animals. Scarecrows are more often a decoration, and a way to mark the beginning of fall.
6. Farmers first began using scarecrows in their fields_________.
