The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms（节气）．In the ancient days, they were important instructions for the farming production as well as people’s daily lives．Here are four solar terms and some details about them．

Spring Equinox（春分）

It starts around March 21st．During this time, swallows fly back to the north．It is also a good time for people to fly kites and eat spring vegetables．It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future．Some believe that the Spring Equinox is the best time to practice this game because on this day the axis of the earth is relatively balanced against the orbital plane of the earth’s rotation around the sun, which makes it easier to erect an egg．

Summer Solstice（夏至）

It begins around June 21st．To celebrate Summer Solstice, people often give colored fans to each other because fans can help them cool down．At this time, much of the northern hemisphere receives the most hours of daylight, but it does not bring the hottest temperatures which will come only 20 to 30 days later．People in different areas of Shandong province eat chilled noodles on this day．Other people around China, including those in Beijing, also have a tradition of eating noodles.

Autumn Equinox

It starts around September 23rd．From Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China will enter the cool autumn．It is a season for people to eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums．When the cold air southward meets the declining warm and wet air, precipitation（降雨）is the result．

The temperature also drops often．

Winter Solstice

It begins around December 22nd．It marks the arrival of the coldest season in a year．People usually make and eat dumplings with their family members．During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is essential to the festival．There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the day of Summer Solstice.”

34．To celebrate Summer Solstice, people ________.

A．eat spring vegetables

In the Three-Body Problem books, Trisolarans(三体人), a type of alien can dehydrate(脱水) their bodies．They can then ride out terrible environments and come back to life again hundreds of years later．Is it possible that humans could be like that as well?

Scientists have now found some clues by studying water bears．These microscopic organisms(微生物) can live without water for years, according to University of Tokyo biologist Takekazu Kunieda．

When water bears find themselves somewhere without water, they go into a form called a tun．In this form, there are no signs of life, and they can survive pretty much anything．Deep freezing, volcanic fire, the dark space… these tiny water bears just sleep it off and wake up once its safe again, said Science Alert．

But how do these little eight-legged water bears live without water? Scientists may be onto the answer now.

“It’s thought that as water leaves a cell some kind of protein(蛋白质) must help the cell keep its strength to avoid breaking apart” said Kunieda．Now scientists have found proteins special to water bears．The proteins protect their cells against dehydration(脱水)．

Scientists also put those proteins into human cells．They found these proteins can strengthen the human cell so that it won’t shrink(缩小) when losing water, said Science Alert．

With experiments using human cells showing successful results, Trisolarans might one day come to be a reality.

37．What can Trisolarans do in the books?

A．They can protect themselves from dehydration.

B．They can live in water for hundreds of years.

C．They can dehydrate themselves and live in bad environments.

D．They can help other dead things come back to life.

38．When there is no water, a water bear ________.

A．gives up living

B．cannot survive

C．goes to live near volcanic fire

D．finds a dark space to sleep in

39．What is the key for water bears to live without water?

A．Their special cells.

B．A kind of protein in their bodies.

C．The strength of their bodies.

D．Their way of dehydrating.

40．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How humans can live underwater.

B．What water bears can do for humans.

C．A scientific finding on water bears.

D．The story of the Three-Body Problem books.
