The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Winter (立冬), the 19th solar term of the year, begins this year on Nov 8 and ends on Nov 21. Start of Winter is the first solar term of winter, which means winter is coming and crops harvested in autumn should be stored up.
In ancient times, the Chinese people took the Start of Winter to be the beginning of the winter. However in fact, the Start of Winter is not the beginning of winter in terms of meteorology (气象学). The climate every year is different, so the beginning of winter could be quite different. And with the large territory（领土） of China, winter of every area doesn’t begin at the same time.
The four beginnings of the seasons were important festivals in ancient times. Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat. On that day, the emperor would lead his officials to the suburbs (郊区) and perform the ceremony of "welcoming the winter."
Start of Winter is celebrated differently today. In Tianjin, on the first day of Start of Winter, people eat dumplings stuffed with Chinese pumpkins. It is a common vegetable in North China. Generally, the pumpkins are bought in the summer and stored until the Start of Winter when they are taken out.
On the first day of Start of Winter, people in Wuxi have a custom of eating tuanzi, a kind of traditional Chinese food made with rice. At this time, the autumn grain crops have just been sold on the market, and the tuanzi made by the newly-harvested crops tastes delicious. Most villagers make tuanzi by themselves, while city people buy ready-made tuanzi. The tuanzi stuffing can be sweet bean paste, radish or lard.
The Start of Winter, when the autumn crops have been placed in storage, was the time of the festival for the people of the Manchu Eight Banners (满族八旗) and Han Eight Banners in Benxi of Liaoning province. Incense (香) was burned and sacrifices（祭品） offered to ancestors (祖先).
( ) 32. What can we know about Start of Winter
A. It begins on Nov 8 and ends on Nov 21.
B. It is the 19th solar term of the year.
C. It means crops harvested in winter should be stored up.
D. It was only important in ancient times.
( ) 33. How did ancient emperors celebrate Start of Winter
By taking a shower before that day.
By eating no meat before that day.
By performing a ceremony on that day.
Above all.
( ) 34. What’s the structure of this text
A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②/③④/⑤⑥
C．①/②/③/④⑤⑥ D．①/②③④⑤/⑥
( ) 35. The passage is written to ________.
introduce what Start of Winter is and what people do on that day
encourage people to celebrate Start of Winter grandly
explain why people took Start of Winter as the beginning of the winter
show the 24 solar terms

The term “culture shock” is used to describe the anxiety(焦虑) produced when a person moves to a new environment. When you visit a new place, you are forced to meet your everyday needs, like food and language in a totally new and different way. 36 After all, it is you who must take steps to feel better. There are a few suggestions.
37 You may feel annoyed that you are experiencing a culture shock after having prepared so long and so hard for your trip. No matter how much information you read and how well you speak English, you can't always do everything perfectly.
An open mind helps. Try not to form an opinion about the new culture soon. You might be quick to judge the food , manners and the ways to communicate and as a result would want to do things the way you are used to. Do not think of the US culture as better or worse, just different-you will be more willing to try new things. 38
Participate(参与).Just watching life go by you is not going to help you much. You will have to try out a few things for yourself. 39 People around you will usually be ready to belp if something goes wrong. If you are unsure of what to do in a new environment, follow others.
Be Humorous. 40 Finally Believe that you can live with the differences and confusions(困惑) and still learn and enjoy yourself.
(
A. Don't worry about making a mistake.
B. Getting over culture shock depends upon you.
C. Do not expect to do things perfectly the first time.
D.Our
cultures help us understand who we
are and what we believe.
E. Try to accept the differences you are finding between your home and host cultures.
F. Never forget that humor is one of the best methods for almost any difficult situation.
G. You must be perfect.
