①The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into twenty- four solar terms. Start of winter, Lidong in Chinese, the 19th solar term of the year, falls on November 7th this year.
②Lidong was once a big day in ancient(古代的) China. Before the day, the emperor(帝王) would take a shower and have no meat. On that day, the emperor and his officials(官员) would all dress in black and go out of the city to welcome winter. Today, to welcome the day, some people choose to have swimming competitions in the rivers in some cold places such as Harbin in Heilongjiang Province.
③As winter comes, the weather gets colder and colder. Chinese people often eat enough food to keep their bodies warm and healthy. On the day of Lidong, people in North China love eating dumplings. In South China, people love to eat chicken, duck and fish. In some places in Guangdong Province, people eat sugar cane(甘蔗) on the day. They think this is good for their teeth. In Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, people will eat green onions for good health. In Taiwan Province, people often eat mutton.
④Lidong is the time to start wearing warm clothes. In old times, the emperor would hand out warm winter clothes to the officials on the day. People would also remember to give" clothes" to their lost family. They would also have delicious food to show how much they missed the lost ones.
①took a shower ②had no meat

Susan and Annie are both from Holland. Here are their emails.
Dear Susan, Thanks for your last email! My knees have been OK since I left hospital last week. But I feel very lonely, especially in the day. You might think many kinds of games can help me while they are boring for me. What should I do? Yours, Annie

Dear Annie, ①Sorry to hear you're lonely! ②I think you need someone to talk with. When you have a walk in the neighbourhood, start a conversation with others in a friendly way. And I remember you like shopping. Do you talk with the cashier(收银员) while checking out? It's common to check out quickly, so people behind us inline won't wait too long. But do you know "chat checkout" programme? It is introduced by Jumbo, our large supermarket chain(连锁超市). In some of its stores, customers can talk with cashiers for as long as they want. There is also a chat corner in the supermarket. People can have a good time talking with each other over a nice cup of coffee. The world continues to move faster and faster. Many people sometimes find themselves feeling lonely. The programme is to play a role in helping people tocombat loneliness. This "chat checkout" service is so popular that Jumbo is planning to introduce it into more supermarkets. As you can see, more people in our country follow a different rule at some supermarkets: Chatting happily is more important than checking out quickly. ③Why not have a try to chat with cashiers when you go shopping next time? Love, Susan |
