Ancient Chinese people divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It is the 24 solar terms. Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, the “ 24 Solar Terms” is the most popular one. She put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better. Rain Water shows the increase in rainfall(降雨) and the rise in temperature. With its arrival, trees and grass turn green again, birds move from south to north. Here are three things you may not know about Rain Water.
No. 1 Water is as valuable as oil
As an old Chinese saying goes, “The rainfall in spring is as valuable as oil.” In northern China, it seldom rains and it is usually dry in spring. So Rain Water is considered as a key period for the farming when the day gets warmer and the rainfall increases.

More care is needed to deal with a returning cold period in the late spring. The fast increase of wet air can cause lower temperature and wet weather. People are advised to keep warm and not to take off the thick coats too early.
No. 3 Nutritious(有营养的) porridge
The wet and cold weather is harmful to people’s stomachs. According to the Chinese medical practice, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice for the body. People often eat porridge with a special kind of Chinese medicine. It can help to keep off the cold weather.

People from some countries set up a certain festival to give thanks. But do you know there is a special day to say sorry
Every year on May 26, the Australian people come together, sharing the healing and sorry for the “Stolen Generations” and their families. That day is called National Sorry Day.
The first National Sorry Day was held on May 26, 1998. After Europeans landed in Australia, the government intended to erase Aboriginal culture. Thus, great numbers of Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed in institutions. There, they were treated badly and raised according to Western culture instead of their own culture. Those poor kids, later known as the “Stolen Generations”, never knew who their parents were or where they were. Their dark days finally ended on May 26, 1997 when a report, Bringing Them Home, came out. Thousands of Australians offered their apologies by writing messages and singing “Sorry Books” to the “Stolen Generations”. Since then, the national apology has been a tradition in the country.
As a symbol of pride and power for Aboriginals, the Aboriginal flag can be seen everywhere that day. It is black (top) and red (bottom) with a yellow circle in the center, which stands for the Aboriginals walking under the sun.
Besides raising Sorry Day flags, more activities take place around Australia nowadays. Many school children attend writing competitions and light candles for the “Stolen Generations”. Schools invite local Aboriginal elders to speak with students. Films about the “Stolen Generations” may also be shown for discussion. It’s not a public holiday, but everyone is welcome to take part in it.
Through National Sorry Day, Australians believe they will heal old wounds and right past wrongs.
( )38. The “Stolen Generations” refers to the children who ________.
A. lived a common life
B. lived separately from parents
C. were expected to have a good future
D. were raised in the Aboriginal culture
( )39. Which is the right picture of the Aboriginal flag
A. B.
C. D.
( )40. What do Australians do for National Sorry Day
A. Students join in some singing competitions.
B. Aboriginals write messages to show apology.
C. Schools invite young pop stars to give speeches.
D. People light candles for the “Stolen Generations”.
( )41. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Australia: A country with a dark history
B. Australia: Home of the “Stolen Generations”
C. National Sorry Day: Time to heal past wrongs
D. National Sorry Day: A day for Australian children
D
How would you like to build a time machine Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past.
No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth.
In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away.
About 1, 300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun.
Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, for example, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do.
Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.
Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. Every year tens of thousands of people come together in Weifang, Shandong Province for the International Kite Festival. Since 1984, this festival has been held once a year in Weifang, also known as the World Kite Capital. So go and fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite flyers have felt for centuries.
( )42. According to the passage, in which countries were kites used to make
good wishes
A. China and Japan. B. China and Thailand.
C. Japan and Indonesia. D. Thailand and Indonesia.
( )43. According to the Chinese story, the army used kites to .
A. make the enemies leave in fear
B. celebrate victories during wartime
C. stop the enemies from sleeping well

Every year in early April, tens of thousands of people in China visit the tombs of their parents, grandparents and ancestors. It is Tomb Sweeping Day, the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead.
Tomb Sweeping Day falls on April 4 this year. On the day, Chinese families will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then, they will burn paper money and put flowers and fruits in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.
However, it is not only the Chinese who remember the dead. People in other countries also have festivals for the dead.
In Japan, O-Bon Festival(盂兰盆节) is one of the most important festivals. It is held from August 13th to 15th.

Dear Linda,
Knowing that you show great interest in the Dragon Boat Festival, I’m delighted to share something about it.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. This festival is in honour of Qu Yuan, a poet who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. Besides, people will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. At the Dragon Boat Festival, we can eat delicious zongzi. Many people will be reunited with their families, which is why I like this festival.
I hope the information is helpful and I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
