①Major Snow, the 21st solar term of the year, falls on Dec 6 this year. It means the beginning of midwinter. During Major Snow, the temperature falls sharply（急剧地）and there may be more snow days.
②The arrival of snow brings colors to the cold days. The snow in North China may go on a whole day, breaking trees and blocking（阻塞）the road while snow doesn’t happen a lot, but just a little, great fun in the South.
③The natural scenery is “hundreds of leagues ice-bound go; Thousands of leagues flies snow-By Mao Zedong”. “From hill to hill no bird in flight; From path to path no man in sight - By Liu Zongyuan.” In the South, the snowflakes fly around and the world turns white.
④There’s a Chinese saying: “A fall of snow gives promise of a fruitful year.” Most farmers welcome snow because snow can protect crops（庄稼）and keep the fields warm. Even if it melts（融化）, it also can give plentiful water for the crops in the spring.
⑤Snow season is also good for skiing and skating. In northern China, there are many places for natural snow and ice. For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces often already have big snow in November. People can also go to the icy lakes to play ice sports. And people in the south also have man-made skating fields to enjoy winter activities.
⑥Though we have lots of fun in the snowy season, people should pay attention to respiratory diseases（呼吸道疾病）. During Major Snow, it is drier and colder, so people should drink more hot water. At the same time, don’t drink cold water after doing exercise.

A woman made some bread for her family and an extra（额外的）one, placing on the windowsill, for a hungry passer-by every day.
Every day, a hunchback（驼背的人）came and took away the bread. Instead of saying thanks, he only said again and again as he went away, “The bad thing you do stays with you. The good you do comes back to you!” This went on, day after day.
One day, the woman became annoyed. “Not a word of thanks,” she said to herself. She decided to kill him. She added poison（毒药）to the bread she prepared for him. As she was about to place it on the windowsill, she threw the bread into the fire and prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the bread and said the same words.
That evening, her son, who had gone far away to make money, returned, hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, “Mom, it’s a miracle（奇迹）I am here. While I was but a mile away, I was so hungry that I fell down. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole bread and said to me, “Your need is greater than mine!”
As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale and red. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. If she had not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son and he would have lost his life.
It was then that she realized the importance of the words: “The bad thing you do stays with you. The good you do comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not thanked at that time.
23．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “annoyed”
A．Tired. B．Angry. C．Nervous. D．Afraid.
24．What did the woman do with the poisoned bread
A．She threw it on the road. B．She put it on the windowsill.
C．She threw it into the fire. D．She gave it to the hunchback.
25．Which of the following is the right order of what happens in the story
① The woman’s son went back home.
② The hunchback gave his bread to the woman’s son.
③ The woman made a poisoned bread one morning.
④ The woman understood the meaning of the hunchback’s words.
A．①②③④ B．②①③④ C．②③①④ D．③②①④
26．What does the writer want to tell us
A．Be kind to hunchbacks. B．Never stop doing good things.
C．Be thankful to our parents. D．Don’t hope to get much from others.
