Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know what weather will be like days or even months later.

1. They are following the 24 Solar Terms(节气), which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30th, 2016, the United Nations (UN)added it to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产).

The 24 Solar terms came into being during the Qin (211-206BC) and Han (206BC-AD220) dynasties. 2. So, weather changes were important. But of course, they had no satellite, Internet or weather broadcast to help them.

3. They studied the sun’s movement with a sundial(日冕仪).They also paid attention to other natural changes such as temperature, water and crops growth. In the end, they worked out the 24 Solar terms to mark the changes.

4. For example, the solar terms jingzhe(惊蛰)is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.

The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China’s fifth great invention, after papennaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder.5. For example, people will say, “Do not show your feet after Hanlu(寒露).” Why? It’s because the solar term “Hanlu” marks the coming of the cold days.

A.Now, people still use the solar terms in daily life,

B.But people found a way.

C.The terms became their guide to farming work.

D.What’s the secret?

E.At the time, most Chinese people made their living on farms.

Dear Aunt Carla,

I'm having a problem with my classmate, Joan, at school. The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasn't very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she sent it to HYPERLINK "mail to: Joan@163. com, " Joan@163. com, which is Joan's email address!Now Joan is really angry with me and won't talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She has said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I would never have said those things to Joan's face, but how do I get her to forgive(谅解)me? What should I do?

Dear Eric,

This problem is more common than you might think!Email is very useful, but also very dangerous, as you don't know where your message might end up!First of all, you should say sorry right away to Joan. Explain that it was a mistake, and that you didn't mean to hurt her feelings. It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. "And good luck!
