I love to eat, but feeding others is my love language.
— The preface
When I graduated from college and moved to Washington D. C. in
2017. To cure my loneliness, Imade meals at home. And I always shared food with new friends. Because my food was pretty good, everyone liked me for the recipe(食谱). Then I started my cooking blog in 2019.
As a little girl, I sat and watched Mum cook. I spent most of my childhood in the kitchen. Since then, I have been interested in cooking. Before I could learn my mum's best dishes, I left for France to go to school in 2015.
When studying in France, I was living alone for the first time in my life. I was crazily homesick. So I started calling my mum and asking for the recipes for my favourite dishes.

At first, my blog was just a space for me to put what I had learned into writing. I didn't want the secret and dishes like my mum's noodles and my dad's tomato soup to disappear. I wanted to write down every piece of advice I was given in detail. These days, I experiment more. I'm not as strict with myself about making the dishes as I eat them. I just use seasonal food materials as Ilike. My followers are growing and this makes me more confident in the kitchen.
The blog also increased my confidence at work and gave me a space to write about what I love. It has connected me to new friends online. Most importantly, it makes me realise that I can mix the tradition that I've experienced and something new.

Many Westerners find it interesting that Chinese people always carry a vacuum cup(保温杯). If you go to a Western restaurant, they usually serve you a cup of cold water with ice. And when you ask if they can change to hot water, you may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water? Seriously?
So hot water VS cold water, which one is better?
By the 1930s, the water supplies(供水) was polluted. In order to prevent people from diseases, the government suggested drinking boiled water, because they considered it a useful way to kill off bacteria(细菌).
People at that time always boiled water and stored it in a vacuum bottle to keep it warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water everywhere, in schools, factories and offices across the country. While for Western countries, many people died of the plague(鼠疫). They took water quality seriously from then on, so that people can drink water directly rather than boil it.
You may also discover that Chinese people prefer hot meals. Some parents always teach their children to drink hot soup with meals, because they think mixing cold water with hot meals is really bad for the stomach, and cold water may cause digestive(消化) problems, while hot water helps digestion.
According to the eating habits in Western countries, they prefer "raw" food, so they also prefer their water" raw". They also like hamburgers and fried food, which are all high in calories(高热量), so they need cold drinks to cool them off.
Drinking hot or cold water also has something to do with medicine beliefs. In traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese people consider drinking hot water increases blood circulation(循环) and washes away the coldness in one's body, and thus eases pain. However, most Westerners believe that drinking hot water may weaken your body. Drinking hot water too often will make your body unable to stand water below your body temperature. ·33·九英全(W版)You may find out that there is no answer to this question. The causes are various, so don't feel strange next time you see Westerners ask for cold water, and just show your respect.

D、Glad.(2)、From this passage, we can know that ,A、Westerners need to boil water before drinking B、Chinese cannot eat dinner without hot soup C、both Westerners and Chinese think that the water quality is important D、Chinese medicine believes that hot water will weaken our bodies(3)、What causes are mentioned in this passage?①History. ②Medical beliefs.

One of the greatest pleasures for me in life is going to watch a great movie at the cinema because it's a chance for me to get excited and relaxed. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless someone decides to ruin the moment.
Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand.
To start with, some people always turn_up_late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and makes a lot of noise. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the movie.
I'm not alone in this situation. Simon, a film critic(评论家) at the BBC, experienced a "new low" during a film. He says, "The woman in front of me got a mirror out, and then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!"
Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers(电影观众) should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off— the most serious offence(冒犯).
Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the movie in the way we want to, but we mustn't forget moviegoers around us who want to enjoy the movie too.
The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen. It's your choice!
What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema?
(1)、Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema?A、It makes him feel like being at home. B、It gives him a moment to get excited and relaxed. C、He prefers watching the movies on big screens with other moviegoers. D、He wants to enjoy the movie.(2)、What do the underlined words "turn_up" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Leave. B、Stand up. C、Get up. D、Appear.(3)、What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?A、Talking on the mobile phones. B、Chatting to their friends. C、Taking the shoes off. D、Having drinks and eating popcorn.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、How to Choose Popular Cinemas B、To Be a Serious Film Critic C、Mind Cinema Manners D、An Unpleasant Experience -

My mother comes from a traditional family, and she looks just like many grandmothers. She worked as a government officer her whole life. In short, she didn't do crazy things. But that all changed a few years ago. I still remember the year when she turned
80. She surprised my brother and me with what she described as "independence".
One day, she told us that she had booked a seven-night trip to Italy, alone, because she had never been there before, and that was one of her dreams. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady walking around the strange streets of Italy on her own, not speaking a word of Italian, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land— It was out of the question!
She paid no attention to us. She told us she had to go instead of staying at home, watching TV all day long. She wanted to go to a new environment and meet new people. She needed to experience something new.
We had to send her to the airport, and of course in the next several days, my brother and I waited nervously, hoping that God could return our mother to us safely. Finally, the day came when she walked out of the airport, with her eyes shining. We felt she seemed as if she were in her thirties again. She told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had hardly spent any time alone after asking a taxi driver to show her around the country for some days. He took her to all kinds of places— the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket(毛毯) seller—a lovely man and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address and promised to mail the blankets home. The seller and my mother clearly built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada. My mother laughed happily when she told this story. However, we thought she was cheated.
To our great surprise, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Leonardo. To our even greater surprise, the following year Leonardo himself arrived, who was a handsome young man. My mother was busy showing him around those days and they did build a stronger friendship. The mouths of my brother and I fell open in surprise.
Her character of independence shows she totally understands that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption(《肖申克的救赎》), "Get busy living or get busy dying. "
(1)、Why did the writer's mother go to Italy?A、To prepare herself to enter the world of the old. B、To tell the writer and her brother she was crazy. C、To make the writer and her brother surprised. D、To make her life meaningful and realise her dream.(2)、In which of the following sentences can we fill the underlined word "ridiculous"?A、It is really _______________ to camp outside, with shining stars in the sky. B、The fat old man looked ________________ in a pink skirt and a green T-shirt. C、You must be _________________ after getting such good grades.

D、Inexpensive.(4)、What might be the CORRECT order of what happened in the story?a. My brother and I sent her to the airport and waited nervously.
b. The blankets and a lovely note arrived some weeks later.

China has changed rapidly over the past 76years. We asked some students to share their feelings about the rapid changes and development of China. Here are two students' answers online.
A few months ago, our school visited an exposition. In the 5G hall, I was surprised at how quickly people could download videos. It took just seconds. It was incredible! I also saw a robot with sensors in all parts of its body. With the help of 5G technology, the robot can do the same things as people do. I hope I can create something like 5G.

People love to travel. In the 1970s, anyone who was lucky enough to have a bicycle would be the envy(羡慕的对象) of others. Then, green trains came out. But they ran at a speed of 30km per hour. In the 2010s, the speed of China's fastest trains had risen to 350km per hour.
