【推荐2】Are you a gourmand(吃货)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcast by CCTV. Can you find any holiday celebrated without a special festival food? Food is very important in China.   Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. Chinese believe that eggs mean producing something new. For example, after a baby is born, parents may hold a " feast party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, the number(1,3,5…) for a girl, and (2,4,6…) for a boy.
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles(蜡烛) in many countries. Since noodles _____long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut them off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, fish head pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the future.
Another very popular food during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty food is made of rice with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

【推荐1】Disney movies are very popular. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years. But there’s one thing about Disney movies you may never know. From Disney’s earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent ones like Frozen, many Disney movies don’t have moms. In Disney movies, Mom is dead or simply never appears. Disney movie fans may wonder the reason for this strange fact.

Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death of Walt Disney’s mother in the early 1940s.

【推荐2】Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”

Students can send the QR codes to Mr Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears (出现) on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative (创造性的), with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it makes them check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

【推荐2】The Internet is a place where we can talk freely. But it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have weakened. They don’t use difficult rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and Internet emojis (表情符号) have changed their communication habits.

For example, direct expression is the preferred way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, one will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji, Beijing Youth Daily reported. Also, “copy and paste (粘贴) ” culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the Internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “Whenever you disagree with each other, you ...”

Cai Xiaojia (not her real name), a teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For example, people can share photos online with little need for words to describe them.

If this trend (趋势) continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People’s Daily reported. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers adopt casual (不正式的) methods of expression like emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly.

To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language logic (逻辑).They also suggest that we should read more works of literature (文学). “Keep using different words to show your own feelings,” said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University.

1. What does the survey by China Youth Daily show?

A．About 76 percent of Chinese people are losing their language skills.

B．Over three quarters of young Chinese people think their language skills have weakened.

C．Rhetorical technique is becoming less important in the digital era (电子时代).

D．Young Chinese people don’t need to use words to describe photos they posted.

2. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly tell us?

A．What people’s new communication habits are.

B．Which phrases are most popular on the Internet.

C．Why young people like using emojis.

D．Where young people learn new expressions.

3. If teenagers continue to use the direct expressions and emojis, people could become __________.

A．good at thinking creatively	B．unable to use words properly
C．less interested in talking with others	D．satisfied with their laziness

4. The underlined word “adopt” in Paragraph 6 means “__________”.

A．suggest

B．use

C．need

D．describe

5. What can we do to improve our language skills?

A．Think like an adult.

B．Stop using emojis.

C．Read works of literature

D．Use difficult language.

【推荐3】If you go to a fast food restaurant，you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today，many teenagers are overweight，and some of them are because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat，oil，salt，and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day，some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school，scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables，and many of them didn't like fruit. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt，sugar，or fat.

Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice：

*Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.

*Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.

*Teenagers should eat food with less fat，oil，and sugar.

*Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins and have little fat.

*Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

*Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.

1. “Junk food” contains a lot of fat，oil，salt，and sugar.
2. In a recent survey at one school，scientists found many students liked fruits.
3. The underlined word “beyond” means “相等” in Chinese in this passage.
4. In this passage，doctors think the teenagers should eat more food with no vitamins.
5. The best title for this passage is “Advice On Teenagers' Healthy Eating”.
