Customs and Traditions
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese always hang mugwort (艾草) leaves on doors or windows to make the air fresh and keep flies and other insects away. Mugwort, a kind of plant, is highly valued for its medical use in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Chinese began to use herbs like mugwort to improve people’s health or treat illness thousands of years ago.
Practice and Spread
Nowadays, there is growing interest in TCM especially among young people. Influenced by TCM concepts, some young people avoid having icy drinks. Instead, they accept hot Chinese herbal tea. When people fall ill, some choose to go to TCM hospitals for treatment. With the spread of TCM, some schools start courses about it. More TCM programs appear on TV and the internet to help people develop healthier living habits.
Ideas and Spirit
In fact, the ideas of TCM are all around us. TCM believes that following the laws of nature can make us healthier. As an old saying goes, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Meanwhile, TCM also pays more attention to the balance of diet. Foods of different colors are good for different parts of the body. White food is good for lungs, red for heart ... If a body is like a tree, TCM focuses on its root (根). It aims to maintain (维持) the harmony (和谐) between the body and the mind.

【答案】B
【详解】句意:杰克发现不坐船穿过这条河很难。
that那;it它;cross穿过,动词;across穿过,介词。固定句型“find it + adj. + to do sth.”意为“发现做某事……”,其中it作形式宾语,动词不定式短语作真正宾语,故第一空填it;第二空需用动词不定式to cross。
( )8.She said she ________ that my parents worked long hours every day.
A.know B.knew C.knows D.has known
【答案】B
【详解】句意:她说她知道我的父母每天工作很长时间。

Customs and Traditions
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese always hang mugwort (艾草) leaves on doors or windows to make the air fresh and keep flies and other insects away. Mugwort, a kind of plant, is highly valued for its medical use in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Chinese began to use herbs like mugwort to improve people’s health or treat illness thousands of years ago.
Practice and Spread
Nowadays, there is growing interest in TCM especially among young people. Influenced by TCM concepts, some young people avoid having icy drinks. Instead, they accept hot Chinese herbal tea. When people fall ill, some choose to go to TCM hospitals for treatment. With the spread of TCM, some schools start courses about it. More TCM programs appear on TV and the internet to help people develop healthier living habits.
Ideas and Spirit

As an old saying goes, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Meanwhile, TCM also pays more attention to the balance of diet. Foods of different colors are good for different parts of the body. White food is good for lungs, red for heart ... If a body is like a tree, TCM focuses on its root (根).

My Experience with Learning Folk Culture
I’m Li Wei. Last month, our class did a project about Chinese folk sports. I chose the Korean people’s swinging. At first, I didn’t know much about it. Then my teacher suggested that I should read some articles and watch videos. She said that understanding folk culture is important for us Chinese students.
I found that swinging has a long history among the Korean people. In the past, people thought that swinging could drive away illness and bad luck. Now it has become a fun sport during festivals. I learned that girls wear beautiful traditional clothes when they swing. People believe that the higher the swing goes, the more good luck it brings. This tradition shows the Korean people’s love for life and their bravery.
After finishing my research, I shared my findings with my classmates. I told them that this project helped me understand the value of folk customs. I think that every folk tradition has a story behind it. I hope that more people can learn about these wonderful traditions. Task 1: 回答问题

Last week, I learned about Chinese tea culture. I know that tea is a very important part of Chinese life. Many Chinese people present tea to friends as gifts during festivals. My mother told me that there are many types of tea, such as green tea and black tea. I found that people use hot water to make tea. This is because hot tea can cool people down.
