The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people's lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips.
Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 6. It means the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also the harvest season for fishermen.
Frost's Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. The apple is one kind of recommended (推荐的) fruit during Frost's Descent. There are many sayings about apples' benefits (益处) in China, such as “Eat__an__apple__after__meals,__even__old__men__can__be__as__strong__as__young__men.”
Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥).
( )39. ____ is the last solar term of a year.

九、Never can I forget the experience that our class visited the old people's home during the Double Ninth Festival this year. It was about 9:00 when we arrived there. As some of those old people seldom came out, some of us helped them walk around to breathe the fresh air. Some helped them to wash their clothes, and the others swept the ground. Most of us never did such things at home, so maybe we didn't do these well, but we all tried our best. We had a meaningful day.
The Double Ninth Festival is an important traditional Chinese festival. Climbing mountains is one of the folk customs. It's also important to show our love and respect for the elders.
