三、阅读理解
The dog days, also called Sanfutian in Chinese, refer to the hottest and most humid days of the year. This hottest period can be different from year to year. It starts in July and lasts for about 30 to 40 days. It has three stages: Chufu, Zhongfu and Mofu. Zhongfu is usually the hottest of the three.
Because of the high temperatures, people may feel uncomfortable and have a poor appetite(胃口). Some even get sick from eating too many cold foods.
To stay healthy, it is important to choose the proper foods during the dog days. Foods which are easy to digest(消化) and full of protein(蛋白质) are good choices, such as various vegetables, chicken, eggs and peanuts. It's better not to eat uncooked, cold or spicy foods. Besides choosing the proper foods, the taste of a dish is also important. Sour taste can improve the appetite and bitter taste makes people feel refreshed.
As a saying goes, "Eating a chicken at the beginning of the dog days will keep you healthy for a whole year." Therefore, as soon as the dog days arrive, it will be better for you to choose proper foods to keep healthy.

四、阅读与回答问题
In 223 BC Meng Tian led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write a great number of reports about battlefield situation to the Qin ruler. He was frustrated(沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.
Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail(痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit's tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too oily(含油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his "rabbit hair brush pen" away into a hole in the rocks.
However, Meng Tian couldn't accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. A few days later, when he was having a walk outside for some fresh air, by chance, he found again the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.
1. What did people write with in 223 BC?
2. What was Meng Tian's hobby between battles?
