It was a in thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my mum gave me a signet ring with my initials carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being “replaced”. Wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything - so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it, And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasnt my birthday, nor was It Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “Youll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecoration, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring.

Lost and foundCFor you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April might he no more than just another holiday- the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students much more than the fact dial it is part of the 24 solar terms.But the UNESCO has recognized he importance of the 24 solar terms. This ancient system that Chinese people have used to keep track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible (非物质的) Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov. 30, 2020.To be fair, the terms do sound old; they were invented thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural activities. But the truth is that they still have an influence on our lives today, even if we dont realize it most of the time.For starters, you may have heard your mon say, “The sanfu days are almost over. The heat wont be here for long.” The snafu days are a period of time that talls in summer, somewhere between Minor Heat (in July) and Autumn Equinox (in September). The coldest days, or the sanjiu days, are similar. They cover the 27 days following Winter SolsticeIn some places, solar terms guide peoples lives through special foods, cultural events and healthy living tips. For example, people from northern China are in the habit of eating dumpling on the day of Winter Solstice. And on Start of Autumn, some treat themselves to a big feast, especially of meat, something they call “putting on autumn weight”, or tieqiubiao.But no matter how differently people celebrate the 24 solar terms, they have been here for a long time and could last forever.According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, unlike many other examples of intangible cultural heritage - Peking Opera and Chinese Zhusuan (knowledge and practices of mathematical calculation through the abacus), for example the solar terms are neither regional nor a hype of art or skill. Instead, the system is a philosophy of time, which applies to everything. And this means they are unlikely to die out.28. Most students think the “Clear and Bright” is important mostly because _.A. it is a holiday with days off schoolB. it is a part of the 24 solar termsC. it is used to keep track of the lime of yearD. it belongs to Intangible Cultural Heritage29. What can we infer from the article?A. The sanfu days usually fall between June and September.B. The 24 solar terms decide peoples daily habits by informing them of the weather.C. People still depend on the 24 solar terms when they arrange agricultural activities.D. There are many Chinese customs related to the 24 solar terms.30. Which of the following would Yu Shicun agree with?A. It is their long history that makes the solar terms so important.B. The solar terms show ancient wisdom about ideas of time.C. The solar terms show how important it is for Chinese people to keep up old traditions.D. The solar terms share a lot in common with other examples of intangible cultural heritage.31. The main purpose of the article is to _.A. describe the functions of the 24 solar termsB. encourage people to celebrate the 24 solar termsC. explain the influence and wisdom of die 24 solar termsD. celebrate tile 24 solar terms being recognized by UNESCODWhen a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the guarantee, or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, his action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cant get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this cant be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”.The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.32. When a consumer finds that he or she bought has a fault in it, he or she should do first _.A. complain personally to the manager in a loud wayB. show something provable in written form to the storeC. threaten to take the matter to courtD. write a firm letter of complaint to the store33. If a consumer wants a quirk settlement of his problem, its better to complain to _.A. a shop assistantB. the producerC. a public organizationD. the store manager34. The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by _.A. showing the fault of it Lo the producerB. saying firmly it is of poor qualityC. explaining exactly what is wrong with itD. asking politely to change it35. The passage tells us _.A. how to make the complaint have a better effectB. how to settle a consumers complaintC. how to avoid buying something wrongD. how to deal with complaints from consumers第二节 补全短文（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Swimming at the beach or in a boatyard pool are well-known Australian activities.
