In China, Major Cold (大寒) is the last solar term in winter and also the last solar term in the annual lunar(阴历的) calendar. In this period, snow, rain and icy cold weather have a big influence on people’s lives.
Here are several things you should know about Major Cold.
Eating “dispelling cold cake” (吃“消寒糕”)
During Major Cold, people in Beijing have a habit of eating “dispelling cold cake”, a kind of rice cake. Sticky rice, the cake’s main ingredient, contains more sugar than rice, which can make people feel warm all over their bodies. In Chinese the word “rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the word “higher in a new year”, which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion.
Eating fried spring roll（吃春卷）
In Anqing of Anhui province, people traditionally eat fried spring rolls during Major Cold. They use a round, cooked, thin pancake to wrap stuffing（馅料）in a thin roll. Then it is fried in a pan with oil until it turns yellow and floats to the top. The stuffing inside the spring roll contains meat or vegetables and the flavor can be salty or sweet.
Drinking stewed soup
People in Nanjing of Jiangsu province like to drink stewed soup during Major Cold, which can make people feel warm from head to foot. They always stew the aged hen soup with ginseng(人参), matrimony vine(枸杞) and black fungus(黑木耳).
Doing winter sports
There is a saying that goes, “Dripping water freezes during Minor and Major Cold.” In various regions of China, Major Cold is the perfect time for winter sports such as skiing, ice skating and sledding.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of on purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failures(失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
24. The people we meet ________.
A. all know where to find us B. serve us on no purpose
C. won't become our neighbor D. will change us in some way
25. From the passage, we know that bad things can make us ________.

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers-Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.
The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers-Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation，she didn' t have to look any further than her state' s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified." explains Ayers-Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state' s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet. ”
These days，Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. "When speaking of the key to my success，the co-op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers-Elliott. “ A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T-shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts. ”
"It' s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I' m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that——to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,"Ayers-Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the farm, where visitors can experience farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.
28. What made Ayers-Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?
A. The problems faced by local farmers.
B. Her further research into heart disease.
C. The failure of her career after graduation.
D. The health state of people in her hometown.
29. Why does the author take the football team as an example?
A. To advocate the concept of independence.
B. To stress the importance of teamwork.
C. To support the idea of co-op model.
D. To explore the key to success.
30. What is Ayers-Elliott' s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?
A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.
B. Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.
C. Ayers-Elliott encourages people to experience farm
D. Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.
D
We can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest. But communicating with a submarine (潜艇）or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar (声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air.
Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we’ve shown is that it’s actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air," says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT’ s Media Lab，who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations (震动)corresponding to the ls and Os of the data. A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.
Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions—high waves, storms， schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction— air to water.
If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.
32. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1?
A. The future of video chat underwater and in air.
B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices.
C. The difficulty of communication from water to air.
D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine.
33. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean?
A. Achievable. B. Convenient. C. Changeable. D. Alternative.
34. What do we know about TARF?
A. It is widely used to find downed planes.
B. It can work well at great depths underwater.
C. It is an underwater machine that sends signals.
D. It can send，receive and read signals from underwater.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar Technology
B. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to Reality
C. A Breakthrough in the Application of Video Chat
D. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication
