The Qingming Festival, which usually falls between April 4 and 6 each year, on the 108th day after the Winter Solstice e (冬至), is one of the 24 seasonal division points in the traditional Chinese calendar.

Qingming, strictly meaning "pure and bright", shows rising temperatures and increased rainfall at the start of spring. It always rains around Qingming, providing a typical scene for the festival. Some 1,200 years ago, a Chinese poem written by the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu illustrated (描述) a scene of Qingming:

A drizzlingrain falls like tears on the Mourning Day

The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?

A cowherd points to a cot'mid apricot flowers.

The Qingming Festival in spring is the occasion for visiting ancestral graves(坟墓).Qing Ming is popularly connected with Jie Zitui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600B. C. To mark Jie, the lord Chong Er ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie's death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit. The "cold food" festival falls on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the QingMing Festival. As time passed, the Qing Ming Festival replaced the "cold food" festival. No matter what changes there are, one thing that will never change of Qing Ming is to remember one's elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets.

My parents usually celebrate a special day by enjoying a special kind of wine called Canadian ice wine.

My mother once told me the story of ice wine. To make it, people must freeze grapes on the vine. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sometimes, a great new product is invented by accident. And that's exactly how we got ice wine.

In the 1700s in Germany, a man was away from his farm in autumn. The weather suddenly turned cold and his grapes froze when he came back. How terrible! Anyway, the man tasted the grapes. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Then, he decided to use these grapes to make some wine. Guess what? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}for two centuries, Germany was the only place where ice wine was made.

Then, a Canadian got the idea that this kind of wine could be produced in Canada, After all, the winters are cold in

Canada, and that's the main requirement for making ice wine. After hard work, some grape farmers found the best process. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

The story of ice wine got me thinking. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It's really hard to imagine the world without penicillin and the microwave. Penicillin has saved millions of lives. And the microwave has certainly changed the way we cook.

Life is sometimes like that. When we look for one thing, something even better comes along…… if we keep our eyes and minds open.

A.To his surprise, the grapes tasted so sweet.

B.People really liked his wine.

C. What other inventions came about by accident?

D. You might think this is strange, but it is true.

E. And soon Canadian ice wine began to be sold all over the world.

Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in a park? Or do you walk your dog in a park? Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed.

New studies have suggested the benefits of spending time in parks. Researcher Mary Carol Hunter said," For lowering levels of the stress, you should spend 20 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. You don't have to travel to the wild lands. Getting out of an office block and sitting next to a tree can be enough."

A study from University of Alabama found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier. Researcher Hon Yuen sai," We did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional well- being(幸福; 健康). Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well- being." The results are perhaps unsurprising— many studies have stressed the benefits of nature on a person's mental health. Therefore, nature- based activities can contribute to decreasing stress level.

King's College London researchers found being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, and feeling in contact with nature were related with higher levels of mental well- being. Another research suggested that children growing up with greener surroundings have 55% less risk of developing mental diseases.

All of these studies mention the need for designing greener cities for the future and protecting our existing parks." There is increasing pressure on green space in cities," said Gavin Jearan, co- author of the urban parks study.

"I am worried because developers look to replace green space with tall buildings. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearing of these spaces."
