During the hot summer, we modern people can enjoy cold drinks in an air⁃conditioned room to escape the heat. But how did ancient people cool down without these modern⁃day technologies? As early as Pre⁃Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. According to the record in the Confucian classic Rites of Zhou, the Zhou royal court had a specialized (专门的) department called the “ice administration” which had 80 employees. The department collected natural ice blocks each December, and then transported them to the ice house for storage (贮存). Some senior officials were awarded ice cubes by the Zhou royal court, which was a big honour during that time. The system of awarding ice lasted until the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were distributed to officials instead of sending the ice directly to them. During the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off was by using their wells. Some families put an urn (瓮) in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope. Actually, ancient people didn􀆳t need cold beverages (饮料), as well water was the best drink in summer. Last but not least, the most commonly used tool to cool down in summer is the fan, and is still used nowadays. Fans are made of different materials, such as bird􀆳s feathers, bamboo, or fur. 　　【语篇解读】　文章介绍了在中国古代,人们是如何消暑的。 1.How did the author draw readers􀆳 attention in the beginning? A. By giving examples. B.
