(10分) Fr yu, the "Clear and Bright" day that falls in every April might be n mre than just anther hliday—the fact that it cmes with three days ff schl matters t mst students much mre than the fact that it is part f the 24 slar terms.
But the UNESCO has recgnized the imprtance f the 24 slar terms. This ancient system that Chinese peple have used t keep track f the time f year was added t the UNESCO list f Intangible (非物质的) Cultural Heritage f Humanity n Nv. 30, 2016.
T be fair, the terms d sund ld; they were invented thusands f years ag t ffer weather infrmatin fr agricultural activities. But the truth is that they still have an influence n ur lives tday, even if we dn't realize it mst f the time.
Fr starters, yu may have heard yur mm say, "The sanfu days are almst ver. The heat wn't be here fr lng. The sanfu days are a perid f time that falls in summer, smewhere between Minr Heat (in July) and Autumn Equinx (in September). The cldest days, r the sanju days, are similar. They cver the 27 days fllwing Winter Slstice (冬至).
In sme places, slar terms guide peple's lives thrugh special fds, cultural events and healthy living tips. Fr example, peple frm nrthern China are in the habit f eating dumplings n the day f Winter Slstice. And n Start f Autumn, sme treat themselves t a big feast, especially f meat, smething they call "putting n autumn weight", r tieqiubia.
But n matter hw differently peple celebrate the 24 slar terms, they have been here fr a lng time and culd last frever.
Accrding t Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, unlike many ther examples f intangible cultural heritage—Peking Opera and Chinese Zhusuan (knwledge and practices f mathematical calculatin thrugh the abacus), fr example—the slar terms are neither reginal nr a type f art r skill. Instead, the system is a philsphy f time, which applies t everything. And this means they are unlikely t die ut.

(2) What can we infer frm the article?

C.Peple still depend n the 24 slar terms when they arrange agricultural activities.
D.There are many Chinese custms related t the 24 slar terms.
(3) Which f the fllwing wuld Yu Shicun agree with?
