Look at your calendar. Can you see daxue and dongzhi on it? They are jieqi. In China, there are 24 jieqis. In English, we call them the 24 solar terms. Now, not only Chinese people but also the rest of the world knows about them.

On Nov. 30, 2016, UNESCO made a decision. It added the 24 solar terms to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people studied the changes of different seasons. Later, they made 24 solar terms to help people live and work. For example, it is usually snowy on xiaoxue. After lichun, the weather gets warm. People then begin to work on the farm.

Today, the 24 solar terms are still helpful in our life. Here are two examples. One is hanlu and the other is dongzhi. Did your grandma tell you “don’t show your feet after hanlu”? That’s because cold days are coming! On the day of dongzhi, your parents always cook dumplings for you. It is said that eating dumplings can protect your ears in the cold winter.

1.How did Chinese people make 24 solar terms?

A. By studying the weather in China. B. By studying the changes of seasons.

C. By studying people’s everyday life. D. By studying people’s farm life.

2.How many examples are given in the last paragraph?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

3.If we read the passage from a magazine, the name of the magazine might be .

A. Chinese History B. World weather C. Eating Habits D. Medical Care

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was just good at taking good photos, maybe sometimes for magazines. I went online, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安).“Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it?” This made him look a bit unhappy and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it.” he said. “Compare it with the others.”

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras along the wall, offering a wide range(范圍) of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into my choice. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two choices that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would veryquickly be replaced by a new model.

In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a nice man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of some shoppers... and when he started to introduce the special parts, I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to prevent facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

1.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should __________.

A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others

C. get more information about different companies

D. believe him and stop asking questions

2.What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?

A. The camera would soon fall in value. B. The price of the camera was very high.

C. The quality of the camera was not good. D. He should get a 50% discount.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he __________.

A. knew very little about it

B. didn’t believe the shop assistant

C. had a special interest in taking pictures of shoppers

D. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

4.It can be inferred（推斷）from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, __________.

A. people waste too much money on cameras

B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product

D. famous companies care more about the money they can make than quality

At the start of the book, a little pig is born．He is very small．Fern's father is going to kill him．But Fern saves the pig．She calls him Wilbur and feeds him．When he is big enough, Wilbur goes to live in Fern's uncle’s barn(谷倉)．
