时文阅读：24节气--惊蛰
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) falls on Mar 5 and ends on Mar 20 this year, which signals a rise in temperature and rainfall. As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name refers to the fact that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. Here are 5 things you may not know about Awakening of Insects.
Spring ploughing
The Awakening of Insects is an extremely important time for farmers and is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for agricultural work. During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperatures and sunshine, which provides good natural conditions for farming. As an old Chinese saying goes "once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing never rests"
Offering sacrifices to the white tiger
According to ancient Chinese folklore, a white tiger is the creature that brings quarrels and disputes. It always begins hunting during this period and sometimes bites people. It is said that those bitten by a white tiger will encounter evil villains that bring bad luck. Therefore people offer sacrifices to the white tiger to protect themselves.
Beating "villains（小人，坏人）"
"Villain" hitting originated in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and it's a folk ritual popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong to expel the "villain" and to bring good luck. People often assign a specific "witch" (usually an elderly woman) to "beat the villains" by using paper cut in the shape of humans to represent "villains" in their lives.
A good time for fishing
Around the Awakening of Insects, hibernating animals wake up, and so do fish. They swim from deep water to shallow water in search of food, mating and bearing young. Especially for people living in the city, driving to the suburbs, fishing in a lake, bathing in the sunlight, and enjoying the singing birds and fragrant flowers make for a perfect weekend in spring.
Eating pears
Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects is a widely-practiced custom in China. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people tend to feel their mouths are parched and tongues dry, which can cause colds or coughs. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold, moistening the lungs to arrest a cough. Therefore, pears are highly recommended during the Awakening of Insects.
