Élla lives with technology, and so do we. However, technology brings us some problems at the same time. Staring at screens too much is bad for our eyes. Many of us are near-sighted (近视的) or have other eye problems. AI is making some of us unwilling to think and explore on our own. We may copy ideas from AI robots.

阅读下面短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格,将答案写到答题卡相应的位置。
Lixia, or the Start of Summer, falls on May 5 this year. It is the seventh solar term (节气) in the traditional Chinese calendar.
As its name shows, in this solar term, spring is ending and summer is on its way. It’s a time when the temperature rises quickly with heavier rainfall. It’s also a time when crops (庄稼) grow quickly, so the solar term is important for farming. In the Zhou Dynasty (c. 11 century -256 BC), emperors led officials to carry out rites (仪式) to welcome the Start of Summer and wish for a good harvest.
The ancient Chinese people believed the Start of Summer also had something to do with health because of the rising humidity (湿度) and temperatures. For example, in Deqing county in Zhejiang province, people still follow the custom of weighing children on Lixia when families go on an outing. A large scale (称) more than 1 meter long is hung on a small chair, allowing the child in the chair to be weighed safely. This custom is to remind people to keep fit and avoid weight loss in summer. Locals believe that after this weighing ceremony, children can survive and thrive (茁壮成长) in the summer heat.
A more interesting food custom on Lixia is the way children eat and play with eggs. Parents put boiled eggs into small mesh (网状) bags, and hang them on their children’s chests. Egg fighting starts when a child goes to meet their friends, each holding one egg. They collide (碰撞) each other’s eggs in pairs. The winners continue the egg fighting. The last one whose egg is not broken is the final winner.

Lixia, or the Start of Summer, falls on May 5 this year. It is the seventh solar term (节气) in the traditional Chinese calendar.
As its name shows, in this solar term, spring is ending and summer is on its way. It’s a time when the temperature rises quickly with heavier rainfall. It’s also a time when crops (庄稼) grow quickly, so the solar term is important for farming. In the Zhou Dynasty (c. 11 century -256 BC), emperors led officials to carry out rites (仪式) to welcome the Start of Summer and wish for a good harvest.
The ancient Chinese people believed the Start of Summer also had something to do with health because of the rising humidity (湿度) and temperatures. For example, in Deqing county in Zhejiang province, people still follow the custom of weighing children on Lixia when families go on an outing. A large scale (称) more than 1 meter long is hung on a small chair, allowing the child in the chair to be weighed safely. This custom is to remind people to keep fit and avoid weight loss in summer. Locals believe that after this weighing ceremony, children can survive and thrive (茁壮成长) in the summer heat.
A more interesting food custom on Lixia is the way children eat and play with eggs. Parents put boiled eggs into small mesh (网状) bags, and hang them on their children’s chests. Egg fighting starts when a child goes to meet their friends, each holding one egg. They collide (碰撞) each other’s eggs in pairs. The winners continue the egg fighting. The last one whose egg is not broken is the final winner.
