In old times, people wondered about the changes of seasons, about the stars, the moon and the sun. They could not explain these things, and so they made up "why" stories about them.
The ancient Greeks told about Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who kept the earth all green all year. One day her daughter Persephone was kidnapped(绑架) by Hades, the god of the dead. Demeter was so unhappy that she let everything on earth die. At last, Hades permitted Persephone to return to her mother for part of the year. During that period, everything on earth grew well again. One season, however, Persephone had to stay with Hades. During that season, the earth remained cold and bare. So winter was explained.
American Indians told of an old woman who stood on a high mountain. When the moon was full, she cut off bits of it and threw these bits about the sky. This explained where the stars came from, and why the moon became small.
Hundreds of stories like these were passed down by word of mouth. Later, these stories were put in books. Today we read them not for explanation of natural wonders but for enjoyment.

A．how the year was divided into four seasons

Pidgin English, though sometimes regarded as" baby talk", is a useful language spoken in a large part of Pacific islands. About 30 to 50 million people speak some form. of it.
Pidgin English we know today was born on the Chinese coast 300 years ago when the Western nations first began to trade there. The Western merchants and the Chinese communicated with each other by using Westerner's words and Chinese sentence patterns. The result became known as "business" language, or because the closest Chinese could come to pronounce business as "bishin" or later "bijin"--at last "pidgin". It has nothing to do with a pigeon though it's sometimes spelt that way.
What do you think the British official's words mean？
A．This man wants to marry you. Is it possible？ No, it's not possible.
