The traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Heat(大暑), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 23 and ends on August 6.During Major Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. The following are some things you should know about Major Heat.

A season of harvesting and planting

During Major Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for agricultural crops. But like Minor Heat, many natural calamities such as floods, droughts and typhoons also happen during Major Heat. Therefore, it's important to harvest and plant in time to avoid setbacks caused by natural disasters.

Sending the Major Heat ship in Zhejiang

The ship is filled with various animals for sacrifice(祭品) such as pigs, sheep, chicken, fish and shrimps. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they march through the streets. Drums are played and fireworks are lit. Both sides of the streets are filled with people praying for blessings. After a series of ceremonies, the ship is finally carried to the wharf(码头).Then, the ship is pulled out of the fishing port and burned at sea. People carry out this ritual(典礼) to pray for good harvests and health.

Eating litchi and Mizao in Fujian

On the day of Major Heat, there is a custom of eating litchi, Mizao in Putian, Fujian Province, as a celebration of Major Heat. Litchi is a nutritious(有营养的) fruit. People usually soak(浸泡) litchi in cold well water first and eat it. Mizao is made of fermented (已发酵的)rice. On the day of Major Heat, people cook them with brown sugar.

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

 How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?

 Shyness means feeling worried or afraid when you' re around other people. Experts(专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention(注意). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences(经历).

It's OK if it takes you a minute to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It's just a problem of how much.

 Most people have red faces and talk in broken language when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they hardly go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

 If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.

 You see, being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There's nothing to be afraid of.
