As animportant solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, it is also a traditionalholiday for Chinese, which is also called “冬节”，“长至节”，“亚岁”, etc.Generally, winter solstice occurs between December 21st and 23rd. According to the traditional Chinese calendar, five days constitutes a pentad and three pentads constitutes a solar term. One year is divided into twelve periods and twelve climates which are regarded as twenty-four solar terms. The Winter Solstice is one of twenty-four solar terms.

This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night . In Japanese culture , it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting . We seldom greet them with “Good morning “ or “ Good evening “. A “Hi” is enough .Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “ Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese . Perhaps it is not the most suitable work for it . Actually , the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “ Good day” or “ Good noon ” , and I am sure you wouldn‟t like greeting people with a “ Good day” at any time , and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “ Hello”.So what to do? Let‟s do it the way the Japanese do . Use “ Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” for “ Good morning “, “ Konnichiwa”when it‟s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon . Things differ when you are on the phone . Just say “ Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello “over the phone , because one hardly ever use “Good morning “or “Good afternoon ”or “Good evening ” right after picking up the phone . It is invariably the sweet old “ Hello”.Next time , I …ll tell something about my life in Japan .()61. How do Japanese people greet each other in the afternoon ?A. By saying “ Konbanwa”B. By saying “ Moshi, Moshi ”C. By saying “ Konnichiwa”D. By saying“ Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu”()62. Which of the following is true according to the writer ?A .Japanese people are very friendly to each other .B. Japanese culture is similar to American culture .C. Japanese people don‟t like using“ Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day .D. People don‟t need to be polite to their close friends .()63. The underline word “ invariably” may mean _________.A. hardlyB. probablyC. alwaysD. sometimes()64. From the passage we know that the writer __________ .A. is from BritainB. lived in Japan for some time .C. is working in a radio station now .D. knows both Japanese and Chinese .()65. The best title for the passage should be “____________” .A. How to say helloB. How to greet close friends in JapaneseC. How to greet people in JapaneseD. Some differences between English and JapaneseDDuring all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move.I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.()66.
