How did people stay cool during the summer in ancient times? The days are getting hotter now. In modern times, we can enjoy cold drinks in an air-conditioned (有空调的) room to stay cool. In ancient times, however, people had their own ways.As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a special department(部门) called the "ice administration". People who worked there wouldcollect ice blocks(冰块) in winter and store them in an ice house. When summer came, people could take the ice blocks home and use themto make their rooms cooler.The ice could also be used to make cold drinks. The "binghan"(冰鉴) was a type of ancient fridge. It was a big box made of ceramic (陶),wood or metal (金属)filled with ice. People would put drinks inside, close the lid(盖子),and the drinks would become cold after a while.When it's too hot, you might find it difficult to fall asleep. In ancient times, there was a kind of pillow made of porcelain(瓷器).It felt pleasantly cool. It is said that Emperor Qianlong(1711-99) ofthe Qing Dynasty liked these pillows. Ancient people also wove(编织) reeds(芦苇) or bamboo into bed mats (垫子)to sleep on. Some peoplestill use these mats today.【小题1】How do people keep away from heat nowadays according to the first paragraph?____________________【小题2】How did people have the special department "ice administration"?____________________【小题3】Was "binghan" a big box made of ice to make cold drinks?____________________【小题4】Why did Emperor Qianlong like the pillow made of porcelain? ____________________【小题5】What did ancient people wove into bed mats to have a better sleep in summer?____________________六、语篇翻译18. 1.骑自行车正在全世界变得越来越流行.
