We all scream for ice cream! It tends to be a favorite frozen treat for anyone of any age. Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own versions.
Gelato, Italy
Pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local ice cream shop called gelateria is a way of life for Italians. “Italians get together at gelaterias and socialize,” says Britton Bauer. “They’re popular hangouts and cultural icons.” Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream, and crafted with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring — chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio and stracciatella are the most beloved flavors.
Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt? Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. “Buying dondurma is like watching a performance,” says Fedorko Sefer, the founder of the travel company Sea Song Tours and an Istanbul resident. “The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish costume and a sultan hat and stretch, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into a cone. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.
Kakigori, Japan
Pastry chefs make kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a fluffy (蓬松的) pile. They then add syrups to the ice — usually crafted by hand with quality ingredients — in flavors such as green tea, strawberry, grape and melon. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl.

【推荐3】Shakespeare Week is the annual national celebration of Shakespeare in primary schools, organized by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Since its launch in 2014, over eight million primary school children have had first experiences of the world’s greatest writer. This year, Shakespeare Week runs from 16 to22 March and has a theme of art and design. It's free to register and to access the hundreds of resources on the Shakespeare Week website, including videos, plays, poetry, storytelling, debate, art and much more, providing children with first experiences of the world’s best-known writer.
Create a Shakespeare portrait
We're working with some of the nation's best-loved children's illustrators to contribute a portrait of William Shakespeare. Participants can see their artworks in a fabulous online exhibition. They can imagine their own William Shakespeare, plan and decide how they would like to represent him. Here are some suggestions:
·Make an abstract Shakespeare, Draw a sketch of Shakespeare and then use a tablet to take photographs of the portrait. Create a selection of images that show a range of thoughts and emotions.
·Children can enter their Shakespeare portraits in a competition to win the chance to have their works exhibited during Shakespeare Week. They will also receive an art workshop for their class from great artists.
Recreate Shakespeare's hometown
Some of the buildings that Shakespeare would have walked past and indeed lived in are still standing in Stratford-upon-Avon. If you can't make it along. why not recreate a miniature Stratford-upon-Avon? We offer a simple art activity created for Shakespeare Week by artist Jennie Maizels. Children can follow her step-by-step video and use the downloadable resources free on the website. It is a simple but effective tracing and copying activity, exploring watercolor and fineline pen painting and drawing techniques.
Design a storyworld
Participants can work with other children to design a “narrative environment” or “storyworld” that picks out a key or magical moment from one of Shakespeare's stories. This will offer them a great chance to explore Shakespeare's world.
Why not take your children to join us? You won't regret it!

【推荐1】Tea originated (起源) in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2, 000 kinds of tea.
In Chinese history, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong in 737BC, when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi’an and western Tibet. It shows that tea was grown at least 2, 100 years ago during the Western Han Dynasty.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies.
| A．Water is very important for making tea. |
| B．People had better drink it when it is hot. |
| C．They are different in taste, sweet and purpose. |
| D．That has contributed to today’s tea culture full of life. |
| E．It was most likely used as medicine during that period. |
| F．China is already the world’s largest tea exporter (输出国). |
| G．China first started exporting tea during the Ming Dynasty. |
A friend asks me “Why Chinese don’t go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question as the topic and write an article. As everyone knows, westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant. But Chinese don’t go Dutch. Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously. Occidental don’t often entertain guests; but Chinese often invite friend to dinner. A lot of occidentals feel puzzled to this question.
Why does such a difference exist? Because the East and West culture and custom are different on the surface. I will analyze this question concretely.
First of all, food systems between China and Occident are different. Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System; Occidentals put into practice Individual Dining System. Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food. Please note it is sharing; but Occidentals just eat the food in one’s own plate. If you eat beef, he eats chicken. It is impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken. The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate. It is unable to share. Ha-ha! What I said is right!
So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat Western-style food. And I want to ask you a question. Do you like the free thing? I think nobody don’t like the free thing. Ok! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food, then I pay the bill. This is equal to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free. So you will be very glad. The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere.
Secondly, Occidentals eat for health; Chinese eat for the friendship. Occidental advocate individualism and independence is strong. So Occidental express that respect for each other’s independence through the way of going Dutch. Chinese like making friends and solidarity. Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and friendship very much. There are a lot of folk sayings in China, for example “Depend on parents at home; while leaving home depends on the friend!”, “Handling affairs is easy if you have many friends!” another sentence is more violent: “Insert the knife into both sides of the rib for friend!”
Therefore, friend’s position is important in Chinese’s mind. The purpose that Chinese don’t go Dutch is that they don’t want to destroy the friendship between the friends. Dutch treatment is the stingy behavior in China, is unfavorable to the friends’ solidarity and is unfavorable to keeping the harmonious interpersonal relationship.
Third, it is only simple “Have a meal!” that Occidental entertain guests. It is not purpose that Chinese entertain guests, but it is the means. In Americans’ idea, “Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity, thus resisting the attack of disease. That is to say, there is no any additional value.
Chinese are a nation liking treat very much. Generally speaking, one party who propose treat will pay the bill in China. But purposes are different. For example you help me to do a thing; I will invite you to dinner in order to express thankfulness to you. Certainly, I will pay the bill. Suppose I am a company manager, you are another company manager. I talk about the business with you, and I will say: “Let’s have a meal together!” Certainly, I will pay the bill. My purpose is to congratulate success in the business and promote the friendship between us, even the friendship and cooperation between two companies.
In fact, Chinese are very complicated. So I say that Chinese not going Dutch is not merely a kind of folkway and custom, but it is a means, a method, a repayment way, a way to express emotion, even probably a kind of stratagem.

【推荐3】Since tea spread from China worldwide, it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world. Different countries have their own tea cultures, like afternoon tea in England.
The tradition of afternoon tea is a very special part of English culture. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s. It was not until the mid-19th century that the idea of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea is served in the mid-afternoon, between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna, the seventh Duchess(公爵夫人) of Bedford, in 1840. At the time, many families would eat a late dinner at about 8 p. m., which was one of only two main meals each day, and the other was a mid-morning meal.
With a long time between breakfast and dinner, Anna would become hungry around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. So she asked some tea, bread, butter and cakes to be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
Later, Anna continued it, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking in the fields”.
Others soon picked up on the idea. By the 1880s, afternoon tea became an event for many ladies. They would be dressed beautifully to be served in the sitting room between four and five o’clock, talking about the latest news, their daily life and fashion.
Today’s afternoon tea is simpler than traditional afternoon tea. It is just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea. However, there is one thing that has never changed - the meaning of afternoon tea.

【推荐1】A baby can quickly damage a new mother’s well-laid plans for getting back to pre-pregnancy(孕前的) weight and shape.
The constant demands, together with the exhausting effects of interrupted sleep, can make it hard to find the time and energy to exercise or prepare healthy meals.
Here are some tips for common problems new moms face:
Problem: No time to cook proper meals. When you’re caring for a baby, cooking proper meals seems like a luxury. Instead you rely on convenience meals and processed foods.
Solution: Try to get more support. Friends, family members, and neighbors are often delighted to help, so don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Use the extra time to prepare some healthy meals. Follow the basic rules of cutting down on fat and increasing fruit and vegetable intake.
Problem: Sugary or high-fat snacks（零食）. Tiredness can leave you feeling sleepy, run-down, and in need of an immediate help from sweets and high-fat snacks.
Solution: Turn snacking to your advantage. Eat high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar snacks; these will fill you up without adding too many calories. For an energy boost, eat a banana, which is high in potassium -- a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function -- or try a handful of raisins, which are high in iron but low in fat.
Problem: No time or energy to exercise. A baby is a constant demand on your time, so you’re too tired or busy to exercise.
Solution: Increasing activity levels will help you obtain a net calorie loss, while toning exercises will tighten your muscles. Though you may feel too tired to do any exercise, it is worth persevering because in the long run your energy levels will increase. Involve your baby in your postnatal(产后) exercises; start by walking with the child in a carriage or sling. Swimming is another aerobic exercise that you can both enjoy by joining a mother and baby class. Many pools have childcare facilities, so you can swim a few laps on your own.
Problem: Lack of sleep. The new baby interrupts your sleep,depletingyour energy and leaving you tense and exhausted.
Solution: Practice some relaxation techniques whenever you have a few free moments. Meditation, visualization, or yoga can help your body recover and give you more energy.

【推荐2】NY Giants game-by-game predictions for the 2023 NFL season
Week 1:vs Cowboys
Sunday, Sept.10, 8:20 p.m.
At some point, the Giants are going to have to break through and prove they can play at the level of Dallas and Philadelphia in the NFC East. Dak Prescott has had their number for awhile now, too. But let’s just say Big Blue rides the momentum of being at home in the opener.
Prediction: Win
Week 2:at Cardinals
Sunday, Sept.17, 8:05 p.m.
It’s unlikely that Kyler Murray is on the field to face the Giants this early in his ACL recovery. That’s a positive for the defense, and I can see the Cardinals being out manned here as Daniel Jones tests this defense being put together by new head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Prediction: Win
Week 3:at 49ers
Thursday, Sept.21, 8:15 p.m.
This is a tough spot, even if the Giants stay out west and practice in Phoenix in order to cut down on the short-week travel to California for this one. The 49ers are loaded defensively and Christian Mc Caffrey is going to test the Giants’ rebuilt run defense, putting pressure on the revamped middle featuring Bobby Okereke. It’s uncertain which quarterback will be available for San Francisco, and it could be Sam Darnold.
Prediction: Loss
Week 4:vs Seahawks
Monday, Oct.2, 8:20 p.m.
The Giants return home to Met Life for “Monday Night Football” against Geno Smith and his team the Seahawks, who beat Big Blue in their building last year. Let’s say for argument’s sake that the Giants return the favor.
Prediction: Win
1. Which event may see the Giants’ failure?

【推荐1】I don't know her name and honesty, I never really cared to. At least that's what I've told myself over the years. The details of who my birth mother was, why she gave me away, where she came from, who her people are — for so very long, none of that mattered to me. Bettye and Jimy Millner are my parents. Adoption stories aren't always so desperate; sometimes they are quiet and the children are satisfied, and the forever parents are good and life moves on. That was my story.
I discovered my adoption certificate while peeking (窥探) in my parents' private papers. I was 12 and shocked and too scared to say anything or ask any questions because I had no business peeking into that metal box, for one, and two, saying it out loud would make it a reality I wasn't ready to digest or accept. My parents had kept it a secret and I also put it deep into my heart.
That changed, though, when I got pregnant with my first baby and the questions started: “What's your health history?” “Do healthy pregnancies run in your family?” “What's in your blood?” My doctors wanted details. I couldn't give them. Suddenly, the information I thought wasn't important actually was. What's in your blood?
That's an answer I'll never truly have. The night we buried my mother — she died without knowing I knew about my adoption — my father gave me a small piece of my story: Someone had left me in an orphanage, and four days later, he and my mom went looking for a little girl and found me in a corner bed in the basement, arms outreached, ready to go. That was the beginning and end of my “birth” story.
Over the years, I've used my imagination to fill in that story with color and light and grace: Maybe my birth mother was young and scared and couldn't imagine raising a baby on her own. Maybe she was forced to leave me in an orphanage by a family that refused to support her and her child. Maybe she was in a bad relationship and feared her baby would get involved in the violence. There are so many ways that it could have ended badly for me, a little defenseless baby. But instead, this woman, this angel, gave me life, and then gave me life again by giving me away.
I have two moms who loved me.
I am the lucky one.

【推荐2】The Price of Success
One problem for schools is that many students do not want to study hard. As a result, they perform (表现) poorly in their classes. This is especially true in the United States, where average scores for math and science are lower than in many other countries. In recent years, schools and charities have been looking for ways to help students get better grades in these subjects. An organization called the LMD Foundation introduced a program called Learn and Earn recently.
In the program, money was used to get a group of students to study harder in math and science. In addition to the normal school day, they went to extracurricular classes for four hours each week. The students were paid eight dollars for each hour of the class. By the end of the year, the students in the program had higher grades than a similar group of students who had not taken part.
Not everyone thinks that this is a good idea, though. TV reporter John Tulenko studied data (数据) from a similar program. He found that students' grades went back down when they stopped getting paid. Many people are worried about this. They think that the students study because they want money, not because they enjoy learning. Also, some people believe that these types of programs are a bad idea because it is a large part of a teacher's job to get students to study. If students are given money, some teachers might stop trying to do this.
However, others believe that these learning programs can be helpful for students from poor families. Many of these students do part-time jobs after school, and some even quit school at a young age to work. Some do this to help get money for their families. Others feel that they can learn more by working than by going to school. Programs like Learn and Earn let these students stay in school and still make money.

【推荐3】My son has poliomyelitis（小儿麻痹）and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kinds of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid. So he was laughed at by his peers for his walking style. His tears burnt our eyes like sulphuric acid（硫酸）. Then, he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go any more.
One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. you are a freak in other people’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and we will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bad in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”
You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being mocked or despised anymore. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and me son went to MIT. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”
My dear fellow, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.
