Winter 2012 will have an extended stay on America's calendar, according to today's annual Groundhog Day(土拨鼠日) forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania。
Each year on February 2nd, people from around the world, including the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that suppodly predicts when that year's spring will arrive:
If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog emerges from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will suppodly be scared by its own shadow, retreating underground for six more weeks of cold weather。
Of cour, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forec
ast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.
Phil is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs. Nine of the year's predictions were unavailable, according to ABC。
formThe holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his "wife" Phyllis。
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray's character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one's routines。otherthan

Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimp into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surpri you.

Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One cret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.
Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight becau their workouts are inten. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and tho calories must be added in order to train the following day. 英文导游词
