26、Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.

As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson said that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky(威士忌)and drank some each day. “I have an injection(注射)in my neck each evening.” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

28、Spring Festival is traditionally a family holiday, but there are plenty of ways for travellers to celebrate Chinese New Year, which falls on February 12, 2021.

Watch a lion or dragon dance

Lion and dragon dances have been part of the festival since the Tang Dynasty. Closely related to kung fu, these dances demand strength and balance. Dragon dances are performed by a group of people who work together to bring the dragon's powerful yet graceful movements to life. Look out for the final and also the most exciting part of the dance called cai qing which means “picking the greens”. Competing groups will battle each other very hard to get the red envelope hidden in the green vegetables.

Eat and dress yourself up lucky

Like any festival in China, Chinese New Year is all about food. So prepare to eat yourself lucky. A whole fish is a popular choice. It means you'll have plenty of riches. Likewise, dumplings are also a lucky dish because they are said to look like the ancient silver coins. For more good luck, wear red underwear. If you happen to have been born in the Year of the Cow, you'd better wear them all year, as your ben ming nian is believed to be a year of bad luck. Also, on New Year's Day, don't clean anything-even yourself - or you'll be washing away the good luck.

Travel smart and cheap

Generally speaking, it is best to avoid travel in China at all during the busy Spring Festival period known as chunyun. But if you fly on New Year's Day, when offices are closed and Chinese families stay together, it can be surprisingly cheap with few passengers, particularly on popular routes, such as Beijing to Shanghai. You should avoid trying to head to major cities by public transport later than five days before or after New Year's Day, when millions of urban workers make their way home or back to work.

【1】Why do dance groups fight so hard at the end of the dance?

A．To prove their power.

B．To show their kung fu.

C．To get the red envelope.

D．To hide the lucky vegetables.

【2】What is a bad thing to do on New Year's Day?

A．Eating fish.

B．Wearing red underwear.

C．Making dumplings.

D．Having a shower in the evening.

【3】When can you buy very cheap flight tickets during chunyun in 2021?

A．On February 6.

B．On February 8.

C．On February 12.

D．On February 18.

29、In history, our ancestors invented many kinds of timers (计时器) to meet the need of the social development in different times.

Gnomon

Gnomon is the most ancient timer in China. It uses the length of the sun shadow (影子) to tell time. It is made up of two parts. One is a pole that stands on the ground. The other is a flat board that lies on the ground.

Sundial

Sundial also uses the sun shadow to tell time. The position of the shadow is used to show the number of hours or minutes. The main parts of a Sundial are a needle and a round plate. As the sun moves through the sky, the shadow of the needle moves over the plate like a clock hand.

Clepsydra

Both Gnomon and Sundial show time by the shadow of the sun, but when it is cloudy, rainy or dark, they cannot work. Clepsydra naturally appeared in ancient China. This kind of timer is based on the rule of water balance and drip-drop. Many poets in ancient China wrote many poems about Clepsydra.

Mechanical Timer

Su Song, who was one of the greatest naturalists and scientists in ancient China, made a mechanical timer powered by water in the Song Dynasty. The timer can make the puppet (木偶) come out to beat the drum or ring the bell to report time. If our ancestors went any further, they could make a completely modern clock.

In addition to the timers above, there are other kinds of timers such as the Sand Clock, the Oil Lamp Clock and the Candle Clock.

【1】Which of the following timers is the oldest in China?

A．Sundial.

B．Gnomon.

C．Clepsydra.

D．Mechanical Timer.

【2】What can be known about Clepsydra?

A．It has a needle and a round plate.

B．It uses the flow of sand to tell time.

C．It can work without the sun shadow.

D．It can beat the drum and ring the bell.

【3】How many types of timers are mentioned in the text?

A．4.

B．5.

C．6.

D．7.
