A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.Grain Rain (谷雨),as the last term in spring,starts on April 19 and ends on May 4.
Grain Rain comes from the old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains",which shows that this period of rainfall is very important for the growth of crops.Here's something that you may not know about the Grain Rain.
①
Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer,and the temperature rises much higher than it does in March.With dry soil and heavy winds,sandstorms may happen more often. ②
There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain.Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes.It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.
③
People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain.An old Chinese saying goes "toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk (嫩如丝)".The vegetable is good for the stomach and skin. ④
The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages in northern China.Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen's first voyage (航行) of the year.The custom dates back to more than 2000 years ago.

It might be fun to use your smartphone,but be careful.Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
First,it is bad for your eyes.A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out.Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain(劳损),headaches and dry eyes.So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
Second,screen use can do harm to children's brains.A new study shows that using screens too much can affect(影响) how children's brains grow.If children use screens for more than one hour a day,they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains.White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills.So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
Third,using screens too much will affect your sleep.According to a study,about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed,especially the young people under 20.Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed.Then it's hard for you to get enough sleep.So you'd better turn off smartphones,TVs,and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
To keep healthy,doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn't use screens for long hours.
19.The blue light from your screens can cause ______ .
A. eye strain B. headaches
C. dry eyes D. all of the above
20.According to the passage,you can't sleep well because you ______ .
A. take a break every 15 minutes B. have lower levels of white matter
C. use screens too much before bed D. are the people from 13 to 64
21.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ______
A. Using smartphones for long hours does harm to your eyes.
B. A lot of screen time affects children's brain growth.
C. The light from electronics at night may make you excited.
D. People of all ages mustn't use electronics.
22.What is the main idea of the passage? ______
A. The ways to keep healthy.
B. The harm of using screens too much.
C. The ways to use screens.
D. The advantages of using screens.

Last week, some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport. The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission (许可) to miss school.
Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany. Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school. But during busy travel times, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations. People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.
Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany. People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.
Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children. When they found them, the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them. They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school. If the children did not have permission, the police reported the families to their schools and to the government. In all, the police reported about 20 families.
These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school. If they can't, they may have to pay as much as$1, 200 as a fine (罚款), or receive some other punishment.
Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school. Many other countries and many of the states in the U. S. have similar laws.
The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police. But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back.
23.Why do some German parents take their children out of school early during busy travel times?
A. They can spend more time with their children.
B. Their children will study by themselves.
C. They want to save money.
D. Their children can take online courses.
24.In Paragraph 4, police officers at three German airports wanted to ______ .
A. find students who skipped school without permission
B. give punishment to the students there
C. take students back to school
D. wait for school managers
25.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Laws on Vacations in Germany
B. Give Your Family a Perfect Vacation
C. Don't Skip School in Germany
D. Punishment Goes to Families
26.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A newspaper. B. A science report.
C. A travel guide. D. A textbook.

"I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy;and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."
