Most tourists who visit China get to know the spicy red hot flavors of Sichuan cuisine since it is a tourist favorite. But in Hunan Province, the food is maybe even hotter.

The Flavors of Hunan Cuisine — Hot and Sour

The many different tastes of the food partly stem from an unusually wide variety of agricultural products. For example, several kinds of chili peppers are grown. Chopped chili is made from vinegar, chili peppers, and salt. It is liberally applied in noodle soups and meat dishes to produce the sour, hot flavor they love.

Hunan Food, Actually Hotter than Sichuan Food

A common saying goes like this: “Sichuan people don't fear hot food, Hunan people don’t fear any degree of spiciness at all, and Guizhou people fear to eat food that isn’t spicy.” The Hunanese use vinegar with the pepper. It serves to stimulate the taste buds and make them tingle (受到刺激) , so you can better perceive the wide range of flavors and the rich variety of ingredients and spices.

Why Such Hot (and Sour) Food?

Perhaps the wet hot summers and chilly wet winters drive the people to eat sour hot foods. The Hunanese think that extra heat (yang) of peppers and other hot spices balances out the excessive cold and wet (yin) . Vinegar also packs yang, and along with helping with digestion, you’ll find that it helps cool (yin) your body on hot days.

1. What are the flavors of Hunan Cuisine?

A. Hot and bitter. B. Sour and sweet. C. Spicy and sour. D. Sweet and salty.

2 Why do Hunanese enjoy such hot and sour food?

A. Because they think it can help people with their digestion

B. Because they think it can balance yin and yang within the body.

C. Because they want to prove that they fear to eat food that isn't spicy.

D. Because they plant an unusually wide variety of agricultural products.

A The Internet B. A report. C. A textbook D. A magazine.

On 25 January each year, the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns, is celebrated. Burns, born in 1759, became famous at the age of 25. His poetry went on to become famous around the world.

The poet died in 1796, aged just 37. Burns Night began five years later when his friends gathered on what would have been his birthday, to celebrate his life. The evening was held at Burns's former home, with events that are now traditions. These include a feast, where someone reads Burns's famous poem Address to a Haggis(a kind of sausage). After supper there are poetry readings, Scottish dancing and singing, including Burns's song Auld Lang Syne.

This year, Burns Night was a bit different because of the spread of COVID-19. In Alloway, Scotland, a local radio presenter hosted a live webcast, The Burns Night In, at the house where Robert Burns was born. People across the world just enjoyed talks about the poet and Scottish music.

The Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow invited 2 500 clubs, schools, and universities in 150 countries to share their plans for Burns Night on social media. They used the information to make a map of the celebrations which stretched from Antarctica to South Korea.

"He's a poet who travels very well," said Pauline Mackay, a leading professor at Glasgow University. "He could write very seriously, but also with great humour," she explained, adding that the song Auld Lang Syne is all about friendship and unity.

In a slightly more unusual celebration, a Scottish butcher posted a short video online in which he attached a haggis to a weather balloon, flying to the edge of space. "After a year like no other, we wanted to kick off 2021 by lifting the spirits of the general public," he said.

4. Why do people celebrate Burns Night?

A. Because he travels a lot B. Because he is a Scottish poet.

C. Because he is the national poet of Scotland D. Because he was well-known in his twenties.

5. What can we learn about the tradition of Burns Night from the passage?

A. It is celebrated on 25 January each year. B. It only includes supper and poetry readings.

C. It usually ends with the song Auld Lang Syne. D. It began with his poem Address to a Haggis in 1800.

6. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?

A. 152 countries shared the plans on social media. B. The Center has 2.500 clubs, schools, and societies.

C. A butcher made a balloon to celebrate Burns Night. D. Burns's popularity possibly lies in his writing style

7. What is the best title of the text?

A. Poetry of Robert Burns B. Traditions of Burns Night

C. Burns Night Celebrated Online D. The National Poet of Scotland

Social network Facebook has announced that it is pausing work on Instagram Kids, a young people’s version of Instagram, the photo and video-sharing app that Facebook owns. Instagram Kids would have been for 10 to 12-year-olds, who cannot officially use Instagram because it has an age limit of 13.

However, Facebook has recently been criticized for the effect that Instagram can have on teenagers’ mental health, and in particular how girls feel about their bodies.

Facebook has since published its own research which suggests that Instagram more often has a positive effect. However, the criticism has made the company decide that now is a bad time to develop the app for people who are younger than teenagers.

Adam Mosseri, the boss of the Instagram, said that this would give the company time to listen to and work with parents, experts, public officials and politicians and to show that Instagram Kids would take into account concerns around the mental health and wellbeing of its users.

Instagram Kids has not been completely cancelled, but if it is eventually launched in the future, you’ll need a parent or guardian’s permission to sign up. There will be no advertisements and you will only be able to access “age-appropriate” photos and videos.

Mosseri said that he understood people’s worries about the project and that these steps should help the company to get things right. However, several US politicians have called on Instagram not to restart work on the app. “A pause is not enough,” said a statement from four politicians who are keenly opposed to Instagram Kids. “Facebook has completely given up the benefit of the doubt when it comes to protecting young people online and it must completely abandon this project,” the statement said.

8. What has Facebook especially criticized for recently?

A. Leaking teenagers’ privacy. B. Publishing its own research result.

C. Damaging teenagers’ physical health. D. Affecting girls’ feelings about their bodies.

9. What does “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The official age limit of 13 B. Joint efforts of all walks of life.

C. Pausing work on Instagram Kids. D. Concerns about the mental health.

10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A. Parents’ or guardians’ permission to sign up. B. Facebook’s determination in pausing the app.

C. Access to “age-appropriate” photos and videos. D. Rules to protect online teenagers in the restarted project.

11. What is the attitude of the statement towards Instagram Kids according to the last paragraph?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

D

A robot space mission has successfully brought samples of rocks and soil from the Moon back to Earth for the first time since the 1970s. The capsule from China’s Chang’e mission landed in Inner Mongolia in December 2020, carrying with it around two kilograms of Moon material.

The unmanned Chang’e-5 spacecraft was launched in November 2020. After a 250,000-mile journey to the Moon, it entered orbit and released a small landing vehicle that fell towards the surface. Using rockets to slow its speed, the lander made a soft landing on a 1,300-metre volcanic hill called Mons Rumker, in an area called the Ocean of Storms.

The lander used a scoop (铲) and a drill fitted to a robot arm to tunnel two meters into the ground, collecting samples of rock and soil. It then blasted off from the surface, returned to the main spacecraft and automatically transferred its samples, ready for the journey back to Earth.

This is the first time in nearly 45 years that a spacecraft has got Moon rocks back. Most of the Moon material we have on Earth was brought back by astronauts during the US Apollo missions of the late 1960s and early 1970s. A little more came with robot landers from the Soviet Union (a country composed of Russia and its nearby neighbors) around the same time. The new samples are thought to be around 1.3 billion years old and have been taken to China’s capital, Beijing, for study. It’s hoped that they will allow scientists to work out more accurately the age of the Moon and other solar system objects. Xiao Long, an expert in space rocks at China’s University of Geosciences, said that the samples could “rewrite the history of the Moon”.

12. What landed on the moon and brought the moon rocks back?

A. A lander. B. A rocket. C. A spacecraft D. A capsule

13. What does the underlined words “blast off” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Break off. B. Take off. C. Turn off. D. Get off.

14. How many times have human beings brought moon rocks back?

A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.

15. What is the possible function of the new samples of rock and soil?

A. To change the history of the Moon. B. To find more solar system objects.

C. To work out the age of the Moon more accurately. D. To make comparison with the previous samples.

The Act of Love

I hate pulling weeds! I thought. It's hot. It's sticky. And it's Saturday!

Still, I made sure to pull every stinking(臭的)weed out of that flower garden. My dad was Mr. Perfecto Lawnman. He could detect a single weed a mile away. And if he spotted as much as one weed, I'd be back pulling weeds for the rest of the day.

"Dad. I'm done." I shouted from the garden, feeling sure that I had done a good job. He stormed out of the house. "Don't be yelling outside, Kathy," he grumbled(抱怨). "Use those two feet of yours and come get me."

Suddenly, a sick feeling came over me. It was the kind of feeling I had when my dad was going to find a stinking weed. "Geez," Dad said, waving an irritated(恼怒的)finger, "you missed a spot." I sighed, went to the spot and pulled the weeds. Afterward, I looked back at Dad, still standing there with a scowl(怒容)on his face, which made me wonder if he even liked me.

Just then, a wet tongue washed over my face, breaking me from my thoughts. Sugar, our dog, looked at me gently. I smiled. "At least you like me."

Two weeks later, on the morning of another weed picking weekend, I was sick, sweaty and feverish, and aching all over. "Let's go," Dad said, lifting me from the bed, "You need to see a doctor." "Please, no," I said, in a shallow, sickly voice, "I'd rather pull weeds." He took me anyway, and the doctor said I had pneumonia(肺炎). The only nice thing about it was that I didn't have to pull weeds.
