Jingzhe is a solar term（节气） of spring in China. Days will get warm, more rain will fall, and nature will change quietly.
Jingzhe brings energy to insects. Butterflies fly from their pupas（蛹）from the winter cold. Snakes wake up from their caves to come out and look for food. This is the perfect time for us to watch insects. Try to move stones and check flowers, leaves and the soil. You may use a magnifier（放大镜）to watch what insects do.
Not just insects, plants also show their changes. Trees and flowers begin to come out.
You can smell spring in the air.
As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes drier, people feel their mouths becoming dry, which can cause colds or coughs. Sweet and juicy pears are popular fruit for Jingzhe as they are good for our lungs（肺部）.
In some southern parts of China, some kinds of flowers are in blossom（盛开）because of the warm weather. Is there anything better than having a picnic and enjoying the beautiful flowers on a warm spring day?

10 . With the three taikonauts(中国宇航员) of Shenzhou XIII entering the Tiangong space station, Chinese people were excited about the news. Among them, Wang Yaping excited people most. She became the first Chinese woman taikonaut to enter China’s space station inspiring millions of women as they look upon the sky with the pride for the growing power of women in today’s society.
“Dreams are like stars in the sky. But as long as we try, we are meant to reach them,” Wang said during an interview before the task. Wang Yaping was born in 1980 in Yantai, Shandong Province. She was chosen to be the astronaut of the Shenzhou X space task in April 2013.
Woman taikonauts have many special advantages compared with men during long-term space stays. They have shown to be more stable and enduring mental states(稳定和耐久的精神状态) that can support long-term stays in space station and are more considerate(考虑周到的) to problems around them. Their strong communication skills and energy will also help the members keep a high spirit throughout the stay, Pang Zhihao, a Beijing-based space expert told the Global Times.
Retired NASA astronaut, Catherine Coleman once spent six months living in the International Space Station in 2010 and 2011. She told Wang in a video, “When you look out of the window and see the stars and the earth, all the women will be looking out of the window with you, including me.”
