阅读理解

    Qingming, meaning "clear and bright" in Chinese, is an important traditional festival. The festival can date back to Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BC). The words "clear" and "bright" describe the weather in this period. The day before Qingming Festival is Cold Food Day when people are not allowed to set fire and only eat cold food. As time went by, the two festivals became one. Some areas in south China still keep the custom.

    The main custom of Qingming Festival is tomb sweeping, one way to pay respect to ancestors(祭祖). On that day, people clean the tombs, add some fresh earth, offer flowers, and burn candles along with paper money and some other paper things. Once tomb sweeping finishes, families have a picnic around the tomb and commonly spend the afternoon enjoying outdoor activities.

    Spring hiking is also a popular custom for Chinese. It's good for health, and it's an excellent opportunity to go into nature and communicate with families and friends. In the early blooming days of spring, families climb mountains or take a walk into forests and fields, enjoying the "clear and bright" weather. In the past, Chinese called it "Xun Chun"-looking for spring.

    Willows(柳树) always sprout(发芽) in spring. The old Chinese thought it was a symbol of life and people would pick willow branches, and even put them on the doors and the roofs of houses. It is said that willows can help to get off bad luck.

As an important traditional festival, Qingming Festival enjoys great culture value. On the 20th May, 2006, it was added to the World Intangible Cultural Heritage(非遗) List.

    Qingming Festival is filled with contradictory emotions(矛盾的情绪). Especially for the ancient poets(诗 人), it's a day when it is easy to get sad by over missing the passed families. A number of poems about Qingming Festival have been created by them.

    "A drizzling rain falls on the Mourning Day. /Pedestrians are broken-hearted on the way. /Where can a tavern be found to drown their sorrows? /There a cowboy points to a hamlet amid apricot flowers." It is the most famous poem by Du Mu.

举一反三
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18C, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather" for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (摄氏度).
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
