The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar
term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 5. It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming
full but are not ripe. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period.
Eating herb of common sow thistle
Grain Buds is a season for eating the herb of the common sow thistle, which is one of the earliest edible
potherbs in China. It tastes a little bitter, but also sweet. People in Ningxia Hui autonomous region like to eat it
mixed with salt, vinegar, peppers or garlic. It tastes delicious and helps people feel refreshed. Some people boil the
herb with water and then squeeze out the juice, which can be used to make soup.
Key period for flower management
This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are
at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical. Flowers need a lot of water and extra
care to stay healthy. Weeding should be done as they grow quickly and have to be extirpated in order to keep the
soil loose and from competing with the flowers for nutrients.
Celebrating silkworm deity birthday
Silkworm rearing is a traditional byproduct for people in regions south of the Yangtze River. People in Jiangsu
and Zhejiang provinces regard this season as the birthday of the silkworm deity. Those who engage in the silk
industry thank the deity by offering sacrifices and staging performances. They pray to the deity for blessings and a
boom season for the silk business.

A. It is seen as the birthday of the flower deity.

There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time’s Best-Selling author, has found success in many
aspects, but it wasn’t always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2
years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had
abandoned his family.
This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move
often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives
most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to
speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward.
It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.
King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入
伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something
extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things. People used to acknowledge the
King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom had to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter,
for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was
developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha.
In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel Carrie, which
is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter,
and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions.
4. What is mainly talked about about Stephen King in the first two paragraphs?
A
.
His achievements in writing. B. His unfortunate childhood.
C. His difficulty in supporting the family. D. His mother’s bitter experiences.
5. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word?
A. He was knocked down by a passing train. B. He was badly criticized by a close friend.
C. He was depressed by the constant moves. D. He was heart-struck by a terrible accident.
6. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Discouraged. B. Relaxed. C. Embarrassed. D. Inspired.
7. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter?
A. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter. B. The family could not find a proper babysitter.
C. The children could actually entertain themselves. D. The children didn’t like to be cared for by others.

You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock.
There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new
friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a
completely new city to explore.
We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park,
let alone navigate the maze of corridors that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the
local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the
challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world.
The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial to
memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around a simulated forest environment. Then some of them took the
same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in
memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because navigating the new environment
stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systems-setting up their brains for learning.
So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most
from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by
stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try:
(1) Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task—like memorizing a speech in the library or
revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there.
(2) Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success
with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip.
(3) Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine
you’re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to fancy exactly how you’ll get out.
8. What happened when they sent their daughter to her school according to Paragraph 3?
A. They found a park for all their efforts. B. They were new to the surroundings.
C. They got lost in the maze of corridors. D. They had no phone apps to rely on.
9. According to the passage, which is not a good way to boost your brain power?
A. Taking an unfamiliar route to go home.
B. Playing some video games that help you explore new surroundings.
C. Getting addicted to playing video games before revising for the exam.
D. Imagining yourself getting out of a new city before memorizing a speech.
10. Why did the second group in the study perform better in memory tests?
A. Because their dopamine systems were activated.
B. Because they entered the same environment twice.
C. Because they had flatmates and phone apps to help them.
D. Because they walked around a simulated forest environment.
11. What is the main idea of the article?
