Many animals have tails. They use their tails to do many different things. Some animals use their tails as flyswatter (苍蝇拍). Have you ever seen a cow shake its tail back and forth? It's driving away the flies. Horses also use their tails in the same way.

Some animals hang by their tails. Monkeys often do this. Then they can use all four of their paws (爪子) for other things, such as eating. Monkeys use their tails as a "hanger", which can help them hang in the trees and climb trees. Animals that live in the water use their tails to help them swim. A fish uses its tail from side to side. A kangaroo has a large, useful tail. It's like a chair. The kangaroo stands on its tail to rest. It helps the kangaroo stand well, too. The tail is also good for landing. This is important because an adult kangaroo can jump as far as 15 feet at a time. A fox has a big tail. This is a good tail to have on cold nights. The fox can put its tail over its nose and paws while it is sleeping. The tail can keep the fox warm.

Some animals don't keep their tails with them all the time. If their enemies (敌人) catch them, their tails will break off. Don't worry. They will soon grow a new tail. How amazing it is!

At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls—Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They were so friendly, and soon, I started feeling more peaceful around them. As the days passed, I spent more time with them, and slowly, school didn't seem so bad.

One day, we had a great idea: we decided to start a cupcake club! Everyone would add something different to the group. I've always loved baking (烘焙), so I was excited to join. Together, we planned to bake cupcakes and sell them to raise money for the school. This means we wanted to collect money by selling the cupcakes.

As time went on, my confidence grew. I realized I didn't need to be part of the "popular" group to feel happy. Even though Callie and I weren't as close as we used to be, I was OK with that. I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was.

Through the cupcake club, I found my own place in middle school. I learned that being true to myself was important. I felt happy and confident, knowing that with the support of my new friends, I could face any problems that came my way.

We had a discussion about how to improve ourselves this winter holiday. Here are the results. 

……

Are you interested in fish? Is there (something)more enjoyable than a piece of cooked fish? Today let me show you how to cook fish in  easy way. 

(one), get a fish and a plate ready. You can choose any kind of fish you like. And remember (pour) some oil on the plate. 

Next, season(加调料调味) the fish. Don't worry. It is very easy to season the fish. You can mix salt and pepper together and add(they) to the fish. It's simple, isn't it?

Then,(cover) the fish with a lid(盖) and put it in the microwave(微波炉). Turn  the microwave and let it work for about ten minutes. the fish is in the microwave, you can prepare a side dish(配菜). Some (rice) and a vegetable salad are good food to go with the fish. 

(final), put the side dish on the plate, next to the fish. Now it's time to enjoy your delicious dish!

A group of students in Hangzhou are thinking about making their favourite traditional snacks popular. 

Su Jincheng, 15

Dingsheng Cake is a pink coloured cake. There is red bean paste(红豆沙)(在里面). The (甜) of it can impress many people. Because of the word"Ding Sheng" on the cake, it is a symbol of success. Last year, our teacher(准备) Dingsheng cake for us just before(最 后 的) exams. To make the snack more(著名的), I think we can let people know the(意义) of eating it. 

Ye Yifan, 15

Pian Er Chuan is a popular Hangzhou noodle. The best PianEr Chuan has (新鲜的) cabbage and bamboo shoots in it. Most people will fall in love with it at the first try. At(最少) once a month, I enjoy a (碗)of it at Kuiyuan Noodle Restaurant. I think we can make some short videos of people cooking this noodle and put them online. 

Lin Yuexi, 15

People in Hangzhou know Cong Bao Hui well. It is said that they were so angry with Qin Hui that they made this snack in the shape of him. You can buy it cheaply at stalls(小摊) around the city. It is a good idea to(邀请) more people to experience making Cong Bao Hui by themselves. 

Chinese dishes are very different in the north and south. But there is one traditional kind of dish that is common in most  of China. It is baozi. 

Baozi is usually filled with vegetables or meat, with a soft flour shell(面粉外壳) outside. It is made in different sizes. is xiaolongbao. Each one comes in a bite-sized form. 

The fillings of baozi are also different. In the south, many people put sweet fillings such as sugar in baozi. Some baozi even have soup inside like steamed juicy buns(灌汤包). Last summer vacation, I went to Guangdong and  the delicious food. First, I dug a hole and then sucked(吸) the soup before eating it. I will never forget this wonderful experience. 

 most baozi are steamed, some are cooked in a different way. Shuijianbao is fried. People love crispy shell and golden colour. 

Do you make New Year's resolutions every year? Were you able to keep them? Lily and I always make resolutions together, 1 we usually can't keep them. This year, we decided to do better. We made a 2 of things we would do every day. 

On the first day of the week, I went to the kitchen at 6:00 a. m. 

My dad was very 3 to see me and he said, "Wow! I can't believe it! My little lazy bug got up so early today!"

I showed him the list. "Look at this! The best New Year' s resolutions ever!" I said 4 . 

"A lot to do every day, " he looked 5 the list and said. "But isn't it too much?"

"Not at all. I already did the first thing, " I said, showing my new hairstyle. "Now I'm making cookies before school for the 6 thing. "

When I got to school, Lily 7 me some of her cookies, andI shared mine with her. That morning, we had a hard maths test. It made us very hungry by lunchtime. We each had a 8 with an egg, cabbage, and onion in it. 

One of our friends asked, "Do your sandwiches 9 delicious?" Lily smiled and said, "The third thing on our list says our lunch has to be healthy. It doesn't need to be delicious. Anyway, we finished Task 3. If we want to finish Tasks 4 and 510 class starts, we need to hurry. "

Luckily, we finished reading our chapters and doing the exercise. But we had a lot of homework, so we didn't have time to do something big for the planet—— the sixth thing on our list. 

We wanted more time to finish 11 on our list. So we got up half an hour 12 on Tuesday. However, we still couldn't do all the things on the list in one day. On Wednesday, we got up another half an hour earlier . . . 

By Friday, we were very tired. When we got to school, we saw each other and couldn' t stop 13 . We looked so funny. 

That afternoon, Lily and I changed 14 New Year's resolution list. We had already exercised and read a lot, so we took those off. Then we made the list shorter and easier to follow. 

Here's one of our tips for making resolutions: Keep it 15 !Or you' ll be really tired. 

Area: Shanxi Province

Cooking way:

To make daoxiao noodles, hold the dough(面团) in one hand, and use a knife in the other hand to slice the noodles into a pot of boiling water. 

Story behind the dish:

During the Yuan Dynasty, people in Shanxi didn't have enough

metal wares(金属制品), including knives, for cooking.They had to take turns(轮流) to use the knife when making dinners. 

One day, a wife asked her husband to borrow the knife so that she could make noodles. At the time the knife was being used by another family. So the man had to return home and wait. On the way back, the man found a thin piece of sheet iron(铁皮).

When he returned home, the water was boiling. The man felt worried coming back without the knife. All of a sudden, he thought of the sheet iron.

"No, I can't, " his wife said. The man told her to slice the dough instead of cutting it. Holding the dough and the sheet iron, the wife sliced the dough into the boiling water. The moment the family took their first bite, they were surprised at how chewy(有嚼劲的) the noodles were. 

What's your favourite food? Why? (回答不多于15词)

Every time a new year comes around, people set out to makeNew Year's resolutions. But where did this tradition come from?

Around 4, 000 years ago in Babylon, people held celebrations each year to welcome the coming of a new year. The calendar was different back then. The Babylonians started the new year in lateMarch during the first new moon after the spring equinox(春分). The events were known as the Akitu festival. They celebrated the rebirth of the sun god. Babylonians made promises to get on the right side of all of their gods. They felt this would help them start the new year with better luck. This is how the tradition started. 

Resolutions went on with the Romans. When the early Roman calendar didn't go with earth's rotation(旋转) around the sun, Julius Caesar decided to make a change. He talked to the best experts of his time and used the Julian calendar. It is similar to our Gregorian calendar. Caesar set January 1st as the first day of the year to show respect to Janus, the god of new beginnings. 

To this day, the traditions of the Babylonians and Romans still go on around the world. People all over the world make resolutions at the beginning of a year. However, not many people keep the resolutions they make. Google started a Resolution Map in 2013 to see how many people keep their resolutions. It turned out that only about eight per cent of people were successful in keeping them. 

Making a resolution is all in one day's work, but it seems quite difficult for us to keep it and make it come true. 

Most food documentaries(纪录片) in China are about popular restaurants in big cities. However, director Wang Shengzhi chooses a different way— He turns his camera to people's kitchens in small villages in the countryside. Filmed by Wang, food documentary Taste of Home was broadcast(播出) on Fujian's South East TV, Each episode(一集)introduces two dishes from local families in two villages. People can follow the food preparation and cook while learning the stories of the families and the food. Wang says that the purpose of this part is to take the viewers on a trip back to their hometown. 

Most of the dishes that appear in the documentary use ingredients from the cooks' own fields or yards. Wang knows that living in the city, people know little about where the food comes from. "In this documentary, I want to show the sources of all ingredients, whether it's the pigs kept by those in the show, or the vegetables grown in their fields, " he says. 

Unlike filming restaurant owners or good cooks who are easier to find, Wang and his team had to work hard to find common people for their documentary.  ▲   They always said, "I'm not a good cook. Why would you like to film me?"

"The documentary shows a feeling of family, " Wang says. "The theme of it is not about heroes but common people. "

Yogurt is a kind of healthy food that people can make at home. One way to make it is to buy some dry yogurt from a store. Add two small spoons of dry yogurt to two cups of milk. This will be the starter(发酵剂) for your own yogurt. You also need to prepare some clean utensils, like cups and a cooking pot. When making yogurt, it is very important to have a right temperature. Pour eight cups of milk into a large cooking pot. Heat the milk to 85℃. Then cool the milk quickly to 43℃. To do this, you can put the cooking pot in cool water. Keep the milk at 43℃and add half a cup of the starter. If you want a thicker yogurt, you can add another one-third of a cup. Cover the pot and keep it at a temperature of 40℃ to 45℃ for four to six hours. After that, your homemade yogurt is ready. You can also add fruit, nuts, honey or spices to make the taste richer. 

Yogurt can be made with milk from cows or other animals, including goats and sheep. If you want more information about making it, you can go online and visit websites such as practicalaction. org. 

Mapo tofu is one of the most famous Chinese dishes and you can make it in less than 10 minutes. It's delicious and fills you with warmth. It's a little spicy(辛辣的), but you can choose the spices(香料)as you like. However, trust me— the spicier it is, the better it will taste. If you want to know how to make Mapo tofu, just follow the steps.
