Look at your calendar. Can you see daxue and dongzhi on it? They are jieqi. In China, there are 24 jieqis. In English, we call them the 24 solar terms. Now, not only Chinese people but also the rest of the world knows about them.

On Nov. 30, 2016, UNESCO made a decision. It added the 24 solar terms to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people studied the changes of different seasons. Later, they made 24 solar terms to help people live and work. For example, it is usually snowy on xiaoxue. After lichun, the weather gets warm. People then begin to work on the farm.

Today, the 24 solar terms are still helpful in our life. Here are two examples. One is hanlu and the other is dongzhi. Did your grandma tell you “don’t show your feet after hanlu”? That’s because cold days are coming! On the day of dongzhi, your parents always cook dumplings for you. It is said that eating dumplings can protect your ears in the cold winter.

1.How did Chinese people make 24 solar terms?

A. By studying the weather in China. B. By studying the changes of seasons.

C. By studying people’s everyday life. D. By studying people’s farm life.

2.How many examples are given in the last paragraph?
