In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar
（日历） . But people could still relax after work. During the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220),
officials（官员）took one day off every five days. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), officials
worked for ten days and rested for one day. They usually bathed and washed their hair on their day

they would take a few days off during the Spring Festival. During the Ming and Qing dynasties,
people also took days off for Emperor’s（帝王的）birthday.

meal boxes for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers
（层）. They also used warming plates made of two layers of porcelain（陶
瓷）. Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm!
According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong (1127-1194) in the Song Dynasty liked to
order takeouts late at night. His servants would go around the city to pick up dishes and bring
them back to the mon people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out
into the streets and shouted out which dishes could be ordered that day. People would then place
an order. Later, deliverymen would bring food to customers’ homes.
How interesting these history facts are!

C. Officials could rest because of the weekly calendar.
D. Officials got a rest after five-day work in Tang Dynasty.

My grandmother was a great old lady. For an old lady living
alone, it was time for her to leave her farm. When I was a 10-year-old
boy, she came to stay with us in the town.
For the first few months, Grandmother seemed lonely and out of
place. She couldn’t stand traffic noises and missed the peace and quiet
of life in the countryside. However, she slowly accepted that she
would spend the rest of her life with us in a little town far from her childhood farm.
When the warm spring winds began to blow, Grandma announced（宣布）that she was going
to plant a small garden. When my father said that we had no need to grow food, she answered, “I
know, but I have always grown a garden in my farm. And I am sure that I’m going to plant one
here.” Then, Grandma asked me if I would help her prepare the land for planting and I happily
agreed.
In the early spring, she taught me how to start small seeds（种子）in boxes inside. I carefully
watered them every day. Soon, little green leaves came out. When the days got warm , we moved
the seedlings（秧苗） to the small garden. When everything was planted in a clear order, my
grandmother and I stood back and looked lovingly at the newly planted garden.
“In a month, we will have fresh carrots to eat.” said Grandmother cheerfully. “And a few
weeks after that, we will have plenty of fresh vegetables for our supper table.” Of course, just like
what my father said, we did not need the food from Grandmother’s garden. __________

something fresh on the supper table.

and our happiness.
