Harry and Peter lived in the same village. They were both hard-working and had a happy life with other villagers.
But that year, a serious drought happened in their village. Their fields were all dry and their crops were dying. They couldn’t get enough water for their crops until a visitor from a village nearby came. The visitor told them that there was a spring on the mountain near their village and it had a large amount of water to water their fields. So Harry went to find it with two big buckets at once and later he began to carry water for his field every morning. He carried water from morning to night, but that wasn’t enough for his field.
Peter also went to find the spring with Harry, but he didn’t carry water the next day. He also left the village in the early morning and then came back at night. Three days passed. Many villagers didn’t see Peter in the daytime so they began to ask him where he went. Peter smiled and just told them to wait for his good news. Then the next day, at noon, Peter and a line of pieces of bamboo appeared in front of his field. When he joined the last piece of bamboo from the mountain with another one’s end, water ran along them into his field. With Peter’s help, all the other fields got water by joining pieces of bamboo and the fields were saved. And Harry needn’t carry water with two heavy buckets, either.

Are you still doing the V for victory sign It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture (手势) is to curl (卷曲) both of your hands and put them together to make a heart-shape.
Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos.
“The heart-hand gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” said the country singer Taylor Swift, 21. “It’s a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”
Tailor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.
Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did the hand heart and put the photos online. They did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.
“It used to take longer for nonverbal (不用语言的) culture to move. But now, with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert.
In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.”

The dragon (龙) is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on March 4. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles — mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (鳞片) (longlin).
People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns (灯笼) too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck.
37．What did old people think of Longtaitou
A．It was a good time for sleeping. B．It was the end of Spring Festival.
C．It was the start of spring and farming. D．It meant the weather would become colder.
