How is the solar term Jingzhe related to insects
Falling on March 5th this year, Jingzhe, or the “the Wakening of Insects”, is one of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. 21
The beginning of March brings some unusual weather, as temperatures rise and rainfall comes with thunderstorms. According to classic Chinese writings, this thunder would awaken insects that had been sleeping for the whole winter. 22 Soon, flowers with different colours appear on trees while birds sing happily from trees to branches.
Chinese farmers pay much attention to Jingzhe, since it marks the start of spring plowing (春耕), one of the busiest times for hard-working farmers. 23 Livestock, such as cocks, pigs and cows, also need to be protected from diseases.
24 It is thought to be healthy to do so when the weather is changing. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people may feel their mouths and tongues dry, which can cause colds or coughs. 25 They can make our mouths a little wet and protect our dry throats. People in China also have various methods of preparing pears so people can taste pears easily in spring.
A.They rise up from the earth and many other animals also make their first appearance of the year.
B.These terms were used in ancient China to help farmers work.
C.Pears are sweet, juicy and cold.
D.Another Jingzhe tradition is eating pears.
E.With the sounds made by insects, it is the key time to keep away pests which will eat crops and plants.

It’s good to think of the Internet world as its own environment, and it’s good to remember that you can create your own room in this environment.

We can see circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in our daily life. 36 Much like colors, different shapes can tell us something about the characters.
The round shape often brings us the idea of things in nature, like the Sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 37 All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters bodies — heroes,
kids, good people — are round in shape, because circles mean goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show something man-made or old-fashioned. In the cartoon called Up (飞屋环游记), Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 38 Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely while Russell is cute and full of energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Look at the bad guys in cartoons. 39 Because triangles don’t easily fall down, characters designed in this way are usually difficult to deal with.
40 So, next time you see a film, pay attention to the shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
A.These shapes show differences between the characters.
B.But have you thought about their meanings in cartoons
C.They are all drawn with plenty of points, like Shen Gongbao in Ne Zha.

How would we travel without maps If there wasn’t a map, it would be a bit adventurous(冒险的)to go to a far-away place. 46
So what did people do before there were maps Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers. 47 For example, the next village is a three-hour ride.
In the earliest maps, people didn’t draw marks to show directions. 48 The sky was a lot clearer without light pollution. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps and gave correct distance and directions.
49 But a man called Henry realized that travelling by train wasn’t the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. He designed an underground map which became popular with both the train companies and the passengers.

A.Instead, they looked for directions in the night sky by stars.
B.And it was easier to use time than using distance to describe journey.

Experts agree that spending time in front of a computer may cause eye strain. Eye strain typically isn’t harmful. 56 . Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to protect your eyes, so computer use is less likely to bother them. Here are some useful tips:
1.Sit far enough away from the screen.
This is usually considered at least an arm’s length away from the screen. 57 . If you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close.
2. 58
Ideally, you should look down at the computer screen at about a 15 to 20 degree angle. This ensures that more of your eyeball is covered by your eyelid, keeping your eyes moisturized and healthy.
3.Blink often.
We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer 59 .
4.Take regular breaks.
60 . The American Optometric Association recommends that for every two hours of looking at the computer screen, you should take a 15 minute break. During this time you should blink, close your eyes, and allow them to rest. This isn’t only good advice to protect your eyes, but your health in general.
A.To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test.
B.Sitting for long periods of time can be bad for your back, joints and weight.
C.But it can cause symptoms(症状) like dry, watery eyes, light headache, and neck or shoulder pain.
D.Your body won’t blink as much naturally, you’ll have to force yourself to blink.
E.So you don’t have to worry about it.
F.Locate the computer screen 4 or 5 inches below your eye level.

Lots of people love to keep pets, but they don’t know how to communicate with their pets. 16 If your answer is “yes”, here are some tips for you.
17 Your pet may not exactly understand your words, but it can at least pick up something in your voice. For example, if you speak with it in a cold and hard voice, it might realize that you are unhappy with it.
Use non-verbal(非语言)communication. Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used to teach your pet to do a certain activity. 18 When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually use both verbal and non-verbal communication(hand signals)to give it the “sit order”.
Don’t punish your pet. Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet afraid of you. 19 However, some pets like cats, can not make any connection between your punishment and the behavior you punish them for. 20
A.Chat with your pet.
B.They don’t understand why you do that at all.
C.For example, if you are sitting on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to tell your horse the direction.
D.In addition, you will possibly lose its trust and respect for you.
E.Are you one of the keepers

How is the solar term Jingzhe related to insects
Falling on March 5th this year, Jingzhe, or the “the Wakening of Insects”, is one of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. 21
The beginning of March brings some unusual weather, as temperatures rise and rainfall comes with thunderstorms. According to classic Chinese writings, this thunder would awaken insects that had been sleeping for the whole winter. 22 Soon, flowers with different colours appear on trees while birds sing happily from trees to branches.
Chinese farmers pay much attention to Jingzhe, since it marks the start of spring plowing (春耕), one of the busiest times for hard-working farmers. 23 Livestock, such as cocks, pigs and cows, also need to be protected from diseases.
24 It is thought to be healthy to do so when the weather is changing. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people may feel their mouths and tongues dry, which can cause colds or coughs. 25 They can make our mouths a little wet and protect our dry throats. People in China also have various methods of preparing pears so people can taste pears easily in spring.
A.They rise up from the earth and many other animals also make their first appearance of the year.
B.These terms were used in ancient China to help farmers work.
C.Pears are sweet, juicy and cold.
D.Another Jingzhe tradition is eating pears.
E.With the sounds made by insects, it is the key time to keep away pests which will eat crops and plants.

How do you feel when you walk into a messy room 31 What about walking into a clean, organized room with your favourite furniture and colors How does that make you feel 32
Sometimes, going online can feel a bit like going into a messy room.There’s just so much stuff in there, and it doesn’t seem to have any order. 33 What’s more, much of it is quite useless.
It’s good to think of the Internet world as its own environment, and it’s good to remember that you can create your own room in this environment. If you want a cleaner room, then you’ll need to start organizing it. 34 For example, if you’re a fan of video apps, you’ll know that you have endless videos to watch. But if you want to keep your online room clean, you might need to make sure that these apps don’t take up too much space in it. To do this, you’ll need to limit (限制) how much time you spend on them.
By making little changes to our online habits, we can live a more relaxed life and have a less messy mind. 35
A.It’s great to have so much stuff, but it can also make us stressed.
B.Remember, you’re in control of your life, not the Internet!
C.Stuff (物品) is all over the floor and it’s so unorganized.

We can see circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in our daily life. 36 Much like colors, different shapes can tell us something about the characters.
The round shape often brings us the idea of things in nature, like the Sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 37 All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters bodies — heroes, kids, good people — are round in shape, because circles mean goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show something man-made or old-fashioned. In the cartoon called Up (飞屋环游记), Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 38 Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely while Russell is cute and full of energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Look at the bad guys in cartoons. 39 Because triangles don’t easily fall down, characters designed in this way are usually difficult to deal with.
40 So, next time you see a film, pay attention to the shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
A.These shapes show differences between the characters.
B.But have you thought about their meanings in cartoons
C.They are all drawn with plenty of points, like Shen Gongbao in Ne Zha.
D.We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes and babies’ round faces.
E.In fact, in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose.

How would we travel without maps If there wasn’t a map, it would be a bit adventurous(冒险的)to go to a far-away place. 46
So what did people do before there were maps Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers. 47 For example, the next village is a three-hour ride.
In the earliest maps, people didn’t draw marks to show directions. 48 The sky was a lot clearer without light pollution. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps and gave correct distance and directions.
49 But a man called Henry realized that travelling by train wasn’t the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. He designed an underground map which became popular with both the train companies and the passengers.
50 . It’s really difficult to get lost!
A.Instead, they looked for directions in the night sky by stars.
B.And it was easier to use time than using distance to describe journey.
C.These days, you can travel through a forest more easily with the help of a GPS.

E.In fact, a lot of early map makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and the 16th century.
