What age does doukou nianhua refer to?

In one of his poems,Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu compared girls around the age of 13 to blooming cardamom （豆蔻） flowers. Since then,people have used the phrase to refer to teenage girls of this age.

Rather than using numbers,ancient Chinese people described someone's age using titles （稱謂）. For example,Chuitiao,meaning "straight hair",referred to children from 3 to 8 years old. Chuitiao was a popular hairstyle for children of these ages.

Zongjiao,meaning "twisted （纏繞的） horn （角）",described children from 9 to 14 years old. Back then,children would comb their hair into two halves and twist each half into a knot. They looked like two horns on their heads.

Shufa,meaning a child ties his hair up,was used for boys who had reached the age of 15.

Ruoguan,or "junior cap" was used for young men in their twenties. These men would attend a hat-wearing ceremony when they turned 20,showing that they had become an adult.

"The year of independence" was the time when a man turned 30. He won't have a daydream any longer. He shouldn't speak more and work less.

At the age of 40,one has no doubts about the world.

When a man turned 50,he reached "the year of understanding the fate （命運(yùn)）of heaven". It means he has become aware of his fate and will no longer make any useless efforts.

Finally,if you were lucky to live beyond 100 years,you would get the title "Qiyi".

Television has a huge influence on our lives. It is one of the most important ways of getting information. People spend part of their spare time watching television, and much of what they learn comes from it.

What we see on TV－movies, news shows, sports shows, advertisements and so on have increased our knowledge and have changed the way we learn about the world today. However, not everything on TV is true.

Most of the viewers are children. Television sometimes is like a baby-sitter(保姆). It spends more time with children than parents do. But it keeps them in the living room away from healthy outdoor activities. They spend less time playing soccer or walking in the park or playing games in the yard.

Of course, there are some programs on TV that are good for children. But there are also some shows which are bad. Children should not watch unhealthy shows. Maybe we can’t change what is on TV, but we can choose what we watch. Do you agree?

根據(jù)上述內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子正誤。正確的在答題卡上將“T”涂黑，錯(cuò)誤的在答題卡上將“F”涂黑。

1.Watching TV is one of the most important ways to get information.

2.Everything on TV is true.

3.Children spend less time watching TV than staying with their parents.

4.Children spend more time playing football or walking in the park.

5.Children should not watch unhealthy shows.
