The 24 Solar Terms: Wisdom from Nature
The 24 Solar Terms is an ancient calendar system developed by Chinese people to guide farming activities. It is based on the changes of nature, such as the position of the sun, the temperature and the growth of plants. For thousands of years, it has been an important part of Chinese culture and daily life.
The 24 Solar Terms start with Start of Spring and ends with Major Cold. Each term lasts about 15 days. They reflect the changes of seasons, climate and natural phenomena. For example, Grain in Ear is a term when wheat is ripe and ready to be harvested. Minor Heat and Major Heat are the hottest periods of the year, while Minor Cold and Major Cold are the coldest.
The 24 Solar Terms not only guides farming but also affects people's eating habits and health. On Start of Spring, many people eat spring pancakes to welcome the new season. On Start of Winter, dumplings are a popular food in northern China. People also adjust their daily activities according to the terms. For example, during Minor Heat, people try to stay cool and avoid overworking.
Today, although fewer people are farmers, the 24 Solar Terms is still popular. Many young people are interested in it and share related paintings, poems and stories online. It has also been listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, showing the value of Chinese ancient wisdom to the world.

When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let's get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth's land.
What's interesting is that the Dead Sea isn't actually a sea. It's a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won't see any sea life — no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That's actually why it's called the Dead Sea.
However, don't let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can't swim, you won't die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈) . In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you'll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
(1)、What do we know about the Dead Sea?A、It is the largest place in Asia. B、It is the widest sea in the world. C、It is the deepest point in America. D、It is the lowest lake on earth's land.(2)、What makes the Dead Sea so salty?A、A lot of seawater runs into it. B、Human activities improve the salt levels. C、Little rainfall and rapid evaporation of freshwater. D、The high temperature stops the water from freezing.(3)、Why do people call it the Dead Sea?A、Because they cannot swim in it. B、Because it has something dangerous. C、Because it has the low salt concentration. D、Because no plants or animals can live in it.(4)、What does the underlined word "float" probably mean?A、Sing in the room. B、Stay above water. C、Fly in the sky. D、Walk on the road.(5)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea. B、The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can't swim. C、If people can't swim, they'll still be safe in the Dead Sea. D、A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea. -

There is a place named Shark Bay (鲨鱼湾) in the Western Australia. At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (about 4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem. In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change.
It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land.
But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia's northeast coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and bycatch. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean.
In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay's seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent.
(1)、Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1?A、Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B、The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C、A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D、Tiger sharks are harmful to the ocean ecosystem.(2)、What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A、Visitors. B、Sea cows. C、Tiger sharks. D、Seagrass beds.(3)、How much seagrass can two sea cows eat a day?A、About 20 kg. B、About 40 kg. C、About 60 kg. D、About 80 kg.(4)、What's the situation of tiger sharks?A、They are overfishing sea cows. B、They are moving out of Australia. C、Their populations are becoming smaller. D、They have disappeared.(5)、What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A、To give some information about seagrass. B、To give some information about Australia. C、To tell us there will be more sea cows in the future. D、To call on humans to take action to protect tiger sharks. -
