I, as a BBC food writer, traveled China last year. Then I fell in love with hairy crab (螃蟹), which is one of     1     most prized Chinese dishes. Hairy crabs are only available in the fall, starting     2     late September to early October, and     3     (end) around November. Supplies are limited and Chinese consumers spend a lot on good-quality crabs obtained from particular rivers.

Hairy crabs’ flesh is well-known for its     4     (sweet). Also of value is the crabs’ golden roe, which is creamy and delicious. Female crabs are more prized     5     male crabs because they contain much more roe and are believed     6     (taste) sweeter.

Traditionally, the recipe for hairy crabs     7     (be) simple—the crabs are steamed and then eaten with a sauce (调味汁). They pair     8     (excellent) with huangjiu, a Chinese liquor (酒) made from fermented (发酵) grains. There are eight different tools used to process the hairy crabs, each     9     (design) for specific parts. It is a mark of art, and in fact a show of skill to be able to eat crabs without cracking the bones.

Many restaurants are now offering to do the work for you, and will bring you the ready-processed ones. It’s surprising     10     great hairy crabs are after you’ve removed the obstacle (障碍物) when eating them.

International Tea Day also promotes ways     1     (sustain) the production and consumption of tea. You might be     2     (astonish) to know that tea is the most loved beverage for millions worldwide. Every second, people consume 25,000 cups of tea,     3     suggests more than two billion cups of tea are consumed per day.

In 2005, tea-producing countries came together to celebrate International Tea Day. These countries     4     (be) Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, and Uganda. In 2019, the Intergovernmental Group on Tea decided to celebrate International Tea Day on May 21. The U. N. said yes to the celebrations on December 21, 2019. The first official U. N.

These two countries alone account     8     37% of the world’s total population, meaning a significant number of tea lovers live in India and China.

Besides     9     (drink) it for taste, there are numerous health benefits of tea drinking. Drinking tea can reduce the risk of heart attack, protect the bones, boost the immune system,     10     relax the body. Habitual tea drinkers are less likely to suffer from early death.

China impressed the whole world with its smooth hosting of the 24th Olympic Winter Games. Beijing has thus become the first city to have     1     (success) hosted both a summer and winter games,     2     (make) a new history for the Olympics.

The mascots, Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon,     3     (win) a place in people’s affections since then. It’s also a     4     (commerce) success. Bing Dwen Dwen is a panda with a high sense of science and technology. The inspiration came from traditional Chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd”, also     5     (know) as Tanghulu. Shuey Rhon Rhon is a Chinese lantern child     6     is ready to welcome friends from around the world for a big party.

In comparison with Beijing’s 2008 Summer Games, there is a     7     (tend) that China is more confident in     8     (it) and focuses more on the community with a shared future for mankind. It is time to present a modern China     9     ordinary Chinese people, especially the younger generation, to the world instead of always focusing on the country’s 5,000-year history.

Art, culture and sports all combine to make the Olympics     10     exciting and memorable lifetime event. Although they have finished, for China, it is just a new start to build up more connections with the world in the global communication and cooperation.

Since the Beijing Winter Olympics kicked off     1     Feb.4th, the adorable Games mascot-a panda enveloped in an ice crystal shell-     2    (become)a favorite among competitors, sports fans and the media.

Enthusiasm for the mascot purchase has led to a     3    (short) of products with many netizens complaining that it’s too difficult to acquire       4    Bing Dwen Dwen doll.

Zhang Zhicheng, a spokesman for the National Intellectual Property Administration, said, “the difficulty buyers face     5    (get) merchandise (指定商品) demonstrates the country’s stronger and     6     (comprehensive) protection of Olympics symbols.” People were told     7     they could do and couldn’t do well before the Games. They knew they would have to go to licensed (获许的) online or physical shops     8    (buy) Games-related merchandise.

“Not just does the mascot have Olympics symbol protection, it also receives patent, trademark and copyright protection” Zhang said at a news conference     9    (organize) by the 2022 Beijing Media Center. “Comprehensive intellectual property protection guarantees the rights and interests of IPR owners and promotes the spread of Olympics culture," he said.

The strong protection of Olympic     10    (symbol) and countermeasures against IPR violators have also shown that China is on its way to being an IPR power, which will help us build a good global reputation and encourage innovators.
