Put it aside, and start another one. In a few months or half a year, go over the first book again；you are sure to understand much more than before. Young people have good memories。

Why do Chinese people tend to eat dumplings or drink ginger soup on certain days?
The answer comes from 24 solar terms, which were added on Nov 30, 2016 to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产）.
Unlike the four general seasons, China’s 24 sola r terms are based on people’s observations of the sun’s annual movements and its influence on the climate. The calender divides the year into 24 parts to guide agricultural activities, such as when to sow seeds and when to harvest them.
The 24 solar terms are：Start of Spring(立春）, Rain Water（雨水）, Awakening of Insects（惊蛰）， Spring Equinox（春分)， Qingming(清明), Grain Rain （谷雨)， Start of Summer（立夏)， Grain Buds（小满), Grain in Ear（芒种)，
Summer Solstice（夏至）, Minor Heat（小暑）， Major Heat(大暑)Start of Autumn （立秋）， End of Heat(处暑）， White Dew(白露), Autumn Equinox（秋分)， Cold Dew （寒露）, Frost’s Descent（霜降）， Start of Winter(立冬)， Minor Snow（小雪），Major Snow（大雪），Winter Solstice（冬至），Minor Cold（小寒）, and Major Cold （大寒）。

It started in the Spring and Autumn Period（770--476 BC） and began properly during the Qin（221—-206 BC)and Han(206BC—-220) dynasties。

Today, people still use the calendar to prepare their bodies for changes in climate, too. When it is time for Major Snow, many drink hot soup with ginger and Chinese dates（枣）to fight the cold and eat oranges to prevent coughing.
“Making up a traditional knowledge system that has enjoyed thousands of years to use, the 24 solar terms clearly show the ideas of respect for nature and harmony between man and nature，” Zhang Ling， an official at the Ministry of Culture, told Xinhua.
25. The author mentions dumplings and ginger soup to .
A show interest in Chinese food and culture
B describe how these two types of food are made
C show the influence of solar terms on the Chinese way of living
D show how much wisdom our ancestors had in inventing these foods
26。

According to the article，the solar terms are born out of people’s understanding of 。

A the changes between the four seasons
B normal agricultural activities
C the sun’s movement and its influence on the climate
D the living habits of ordinary animals and plants
27. Which of t he following solar terms has the closest connection to the season of spring?
A Awakening of Insects
B Frost’s Descent
C Grain in Ear
D Minor Heat
28. From Zhang Ling's point of view，。

A solar systems show how important it is for Chinese people to keep old traditions
B solar terms show ancient wisdom about environmental protection
C solar terms are the natural results of the Chinese way of thinking
D solar terms prove that modern people should have a slower pace of life
C
Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off 。

You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights 。

Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating ， for people are often less self-conscious（难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your
home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness。

Mind the colors 。

Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites 。

In one study ， people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room。

Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry。

So when it’s time to repaint, go blue。

Don't forget the clock or the radio。

People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals。

Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat。

If you need some help slowing down ， turn on relaxing music。

It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes， Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat。

We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12—inch plate instead of a 10—inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide gla ss than a tall, skinny glass.
29. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.
A。

their body shape B。

their home comforts
C。

house buying D. healthy diets
30. A home environment in blue can help people_________。

A.digest food better
B.regain their appetites
C.burn more calories
D.reduce food intake
31。

What are people advised to do at mealtimes？
A.Eat quickly。

B。

Play fast mu sic.
C.Turn down the lights. D。

Use smaller spoons。

32. What can be a suitable title for the test？
A。

Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？ B.Ways of Serving Dinner
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness
D.Is Your House Making You Fat?
D
Balancing school， activities， chores and friends is hard enough， so how can teens be expected to read a newspaper cover to cover or sit and watch the nightly news for an hour?
Never fear——here are three quick, creative ways to get your daily dose（剂量；分量） of news！
1.The Skimm
The Skimm is a great website that breaks down world conflicts that simply seem too difficult to wrap your mind around. Each morning, Skimm’s e—mail greets you with a witty subject line and quick content that dives into whatever breaking stories swept the journalistic world the previous day. Head over to theskimm.con
to subscribe（订阅）-—you won’t regret it.
2. New York Times daily briefing
The New York Times is the George Clooney of news： good—looking， successful, interesting，but not someone you can start a real relationship with. But the daily briefing——accessible via the NYTimes app--is way less of a commitment. You’re exposed to the same news in an approachable manner. Spend two minutes per day on this app, and your friends will think of you as the news guru（专家）of the group.
3.NPR Hourly News Summary
Listening to the radio on your way to and from school every day is a wonderful way to absorb the news during a time you might otherwise be checking out your friends’ photos online. Or, if you want to t ry listening to something besides music on your phone, download NPR’s news podcasts --the Hourly News Summary is just five minutes， and it's updated on the hour， so you always get the latest.
33。

What is the text mainly about?
A.Three fast， creative methods to help teenagers get news。

B.The reasons why teenagers should read creative news.
C.Three kinds of news that teenagers can read.
D.Recommendations for fun， creative ways for teens to pass the time.
34。

According to the text, we can conclude that: The Skimm ， the New York Times daily briefing and NPR Hourly News Summary 。

A has podcasts to listen to; send news by e—mail； offers news through an app
B send news by e-mail； offers news through an app； has podcasts to listen to
C offers news through an app； send news by e-mail; has podcasts to listen to；
D has podcasts to listen to； offers news through an app； send news by e-mail

How to Start Your Day Right
What we do in our day, how we act，and how we react to situations and to people， is equally important to how we start our day. Often， we start our day with a schedule. But less often do we choose to do certain things that will help jump—start our day. It’s important to get our day off to a good start because how we start our day will determine how the rest of our day goes. Here I share some tricks with you to start your day right。

36 Whatever you believe can and will come to pass。

Believe that you can accomplish great things and you can reach your goals, and you will. If you start your day with fear，you’re already on a path to ruin the rest of your day。

Leave yesterday in the past. Yesterday has come and gone. Too many people do not progress in life because they live in the events of yesterday. 37 You
can’t live it over。

You can’t do it over. Stop regretting and start living today.
Pursue purpose。

Every day your life is based upon the days that have already passed。

Each day should be a strong pursue of purpose. 38 That will last longer than you。

Set goals。

Start your day with goals that you want to reach。

39 On your worst days，if you keep your goals front and center in your mind，they will push you and pull you forward。

Adjust your attitude. We don't feel great everyday but we can choose to feel great, look great，and be great with a little adjustment of the attitude. The right attitude will carry you a very long way。

40
A.Be sure to have faith.
B.Don’t make it too difficult to reach.
C.Make right choices when facing trouble.
D.There is nothing you can do to change the past。

E.Struggle to do something great and meaningful。

F.Your goals will keep you focused, stable， and clear.
G.The right attitude can also change situations to turn in your favor.
