Weeks before the Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 4 this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day. The snack is still a must-have for many people.

In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition. Chinese people started to eat it more than 2,000 years ago. It is made of sticky rice(糯米) and red bean paste(红豆沙), and is famous for its softness, freshness and sweetness. The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials — mugwort leaves(艾蒿叶). The plant is mainly found in the Yangtze River Delta(长江三角洲) where it has perfect conditions to grow.

People in this area usually put qingtuan on the tombs(墓) of their dead family members to cherish the past memory. Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home. It really takes time and effort to make the snack.

Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the northern part of China. Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works. "It tastes different in and out of my hometown", he said. "There's no place like home."

Qingtuan has many different tastes inside it, such as apple and bean milk, to meet customers' tastes. The difference in taste shows that it's getting more and more popular across the whole country.

Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn't be complete without a taste of qingtuan.

31.The Tomb-Sweeping Day is in 　　　　. 

A. spring    B. summer

C. autumn       D. winter

32.Your mouth waters when you see qingtuan because of the 　　　　. 

A. sticky rice       B. green color

C. red bean paste   D. mugwort leaves

33.What does the underlined word "cherish" in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Forget.       B. Miss.

C. Pray.    D. Clear.

34.We can know from the passage that Li Yuan 　　　　. 

A. loves no place   B. sells qingtuan

C. works in Beijing  D. works as a cook

35.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Growing Up in Beijing

B. Planting Rice in Zhejiang

C. Meeting Customers' Tastes

D. Marking the Start of Spring
