_
46_(people) farming and life.
About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people _
47_(study) natural changes, such as air temperature, water and crop _
48_(grow). They then made 24 Solar Terms _
49_(show) the changes in seasons and weather.
For example, they named the day with the year's _
50_(long) daytime as xiazhi. The shortest one is called dongzhi. It is usually _
51_(snow) around xiaoxue every year. And dahan is the coldest day of the year. In North China, it often snows _

The Solar Terms also help farmers make _
53_(plan). When lichun comes, the weather gets warm. The trees and grass turn green. Farmers are going to sow seeds(播种). When mangzhong comes, wheat is ripe. The harvest time _

55_(listen) to her, because hanlu means the beginning of cold days.
