A
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start
of Autumn, the 13th solar term, reflects the end of summer and the beginning of
autumn. The fruitful season is approaching. The following are several things you
should know about it.
“Autumn Tiger ”
Although Start of Autumn indicates the beginning of autumn, hot weather won’t
come to an end. The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, is called “Autumn
Tiger”. Because of decreasing rainfall, it is even more sweltering (闷热的) during this
period than during Major Heat.
Eating longans
The Start of Autumn period is harvest time for Taiwan longan. People believe
that eating longan will help their children become senior officials.
Eating red beans
Starting from the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, people in Yiwu, Zhejiang
province, have eaten red beans on Start of Autumn day. They take 7 to 14 little beans,

swallowing them with well water. When taking the beans, one must face west, it is
said, so as not to get dysentery (痢疾) during the autumn.
Eating gourds (葫芦)
During the Qing Dynasty, people would put gourds outside for a day before the
Start of Autumn, and eat them on Start of Autumn day to drive off the summer heat.
Today people in Tianjin still keep this custom, believing that eating melons such as
towel gourd, white gourd and bitter gourd can prevent diarrhea (腹泻) in autumn.
21. What causes “Autumn Tiger” according to the passage?
A. The reducing rainfall. B. The ending of summer.
C. The approaching autumn. D. The beginning of the solar term.
22. What is the common belief for people to eat red beans and gourds?
A. To avoid heat. B. To keep the custom.
C. To prevent diseases. D. To help children become senior officials.
23. In which column of a magazine might the passage be taken from?
A. Sports. B. Culture. C. Entertainment. D. Politics.
B
Wildlife biologist Purnima Devi Barman remembers the first time she ever saw
the nest of a greater adjutant stork (秃鹳) in a tree near her grandmother’s home. Her
grandmother would tell her stories about birds and animals under the tree. The love
for the natural world developed in those years led Barman to devote her life to saving
the endangered greater adjutant stork.
Known as the Hargila in Assam, the greater adjutant stork is the second-rarest
stork in the world. Unlike pandas or lions, whose attractive appearances help gain
widespread support for their protection, these tall, bald, clumsy birds meet with bias
in conservation campaigns.
“Hargilas also bear a reputation of bringing bad luck,” says Barman. “What was
the point of writing my paper on them if there was no way of actually saving these
birds? I had to start with changing the misconception.”

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Barman put her PhD on hold and set to
work. “I started engaging with the women in the village. In our experience, educating
and securing the participation of women ensures that the learning passes on to the
next generation,” Barman says.
Today, around 400 women have been trained to work on conserving this rare
bird. The group’s activities include awareness-building in schools and plantation
drives in which 45,000 trees were planted to support the stork’s future populations.
A key component allowing Barman to successfully integrate conservation efforts
into the village cultural life was her idea of building related livelihoods. Weaving (纺
织) is a long-standing craft in Assam, so Barman created a self-help group employing
women to weave stork patterns on textiles. This innovative idea was highlighted at the
UN Champion of the Earth Awards she won in 2022.
Currently the number of greater adjutant nests in Assam’s Kamrup district has
grown from 28 in 2010 to more than 250. The once unlucky stork is now a symbol of
community pride, its pictures appearing on bags, blankets and celebration decorations.
24. What motivated Barman to save the greater adjutant stork?
A. Her interest in observing nests.
B. Her passion for doing research.
C. Her love for nature from childhood.
D. Her grandmother’s encouragement.
25. What does the underlined word “bias” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Prejudice. B. Support. C. Danger. D. Success.
26. What was a major challenge Barman faced in conserving the greater adjutant
stork?
A. The stork is common in appearance.
B. The stork was believed to be unlucky.
C. She had not finished her paper for PhD.
D. She lacked experience in wildlife conservation.
27. How did Barman make conservation efforts part of the village cultural life?
