Qing Ming Jie (All Souls' Day) is a time to remember {#blank#}1{#/blank#} dead. It is a major Chinese festival which {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fall) in early spring. It is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forefathers.

    Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Tui, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C.Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lord's life by serving a piece of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} own leg. When the lord {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (succeed)in becoming the ruler of a small kingdom, he invited his faithful follower to join him. But Jie declined the invitation, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (prefer) to lead a quiet life with his mother in the mountains.

    Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} , Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (die).To honor Jie, the "cold food feast day" began, when no fire could be lit.

    As time passed, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. To make the festival even more {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (meaning),some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family {#blank#}10{#/blank#} contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Tui.

    You've just hiccupped (打嗝) for the tenth time since you finished dinner. Wonder{#blank#}1{#/blank#}these funny noises are coming from? The part {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(blame) is your diaphragm, the muscle at the bottom of your chest. All hiccups start here.

    The diaphragm almost always {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(work) perfectly--it pulls down when you breathe in to help pull air into the lungs {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it moves up when you breathe out to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes upset, and when {#blank#}5{#/blank#}happens, it pushes up in an irregular way, making your breath come out differently {#blank#}6{#/blank#}how it normally does. When this irregular breath hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup. Things {#blank#}7{#/blank#}bother the diaphragm include eating too quickly or too much, stomachaches or feeling nervous.

    If you want to know {#blank#}8{#/blank#}to get rid of hiccups, here are some “cures”.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (breathe) into a paper bag is one method some people use. Others think taking a mouthful of water is the way to become hiccup-free. Sugar under your tongue might also drive away the hiccups. And maybe the most famous {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(treat), having someone scare you, also helps beat the hiccups.
