Take a book and force yourself to read it. At the same time, turn to dictionaries and memorize grammatical rules. After reading a book, its only natural that yon wont understand it at all. Never mind. 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. If you memorize a few words every day and keep on reading all the time, in four or five years, you will certainly be able to read works in the foreign language.”21.

This passage mainly tells us how to .A. do our reading B. turn to dictionariesC. memorize new words D.use grammatical rulesB Why do Chinese people tend to eat dumplings or drink ginger soup on certain days? The answer es from 24 solar terms, which were added on Nov 30, xx to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产). Unlike the four general seasons, Chinas 24 solar terms are based on peoples observations of the suns 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), Frosts 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 cultureB describe how these two types of food are madeC show the influence of solar terms on the Chinese way of livingD show how much wisdom our ancestors had in inventing these foods26. According to the article, the solar terms are born out of peoples understanding of .A the changes between the four seasonsB normal agricultural activitiesC the suns movement and its influence on the climateD the living habits of ordinary animals and plants27. Which of the following solar terms has the closest connection to the season of spring?A Awakening of Insects B Frosts DescentC Grain in Ear D Minor Heat28. From Zhang Lings point of view, .A solar systems show how important it is for Chinese people to keep old traditionsB solar terms show ancient wisdom about environmental protectionC solar terms are the natural results of the Chinese way of thinkingD solar terms prove that modern people should have a slower pace of lifeC 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 .

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 youre 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 well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.29.
