Where does your food come from? How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U.S. started testing food.
These days, most food in the world is safe. The reason is laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it’s more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels (标签) on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.
Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn’t cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When this happens, people don’t know if their food is safe.
As we all know, food is closely related to our everyday life. We should take action to make food safer!

Project-based learning (项目化学习) is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners use real-world examples and challenges to solve problems. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. How do students learn well through a project? Let’s take the example of Sandra.
Sandra, an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School, wanted to know more about Greek mythology (希腊神话). So she started to work on this project. How did she make it?
From the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning?
1. How do learners solve problems in project-based learning?2. Why did Sandra start her project-based learning?
3. What were the two products that Sandra created?
4. What are the advantages of project-based learning? (至少列举一个优点)

Recently, a Douyin influencer（网红）named “Xiaozhang, the worker” has become a hit because of her “How-to” videos. In the videos, she teaches the most basic life skills, such as how to see a concert and how to take the subway. She has quickly owned over 2 million followers on Douyin.
In some way, the rising popularity of “How-to” videos refleets the fact that young people’s search habits have changed. They’re increasingly turning to social media platforms（平台）like Douyin and Bilibili for information.
Li Zhouzi, a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi, likes to search on Bilibili. She said that by doing this, she gets information more quickly and easily. For example, when using traditional search engines（搜索引擎）for something about physics, she would always lose her way in a sea of hard-to-get terms. Instead, videos by creators on Bilibili can offer detailed explanations that are often clearer than those she can find elsewhere.
DO YOU KNOW? It’s a global thing that young people use social media platforms for searching. TikTok has been known for its popular dance videos and pop music. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines loved by young people. The data from Google shows that nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches. |
Being able to get links with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust. Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan. She likes searching on Xiaohongshu, a lifestyle sharing platform. She can see notes with photos and texts posted by people. “I trust them because I can see that they are doing the same things in real life.” she said.
Like Hu, many young people search for lighter topics on social media platforms. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to traditional search engines. Zhou Yaokai, a Senior 3 student from Sichuan is one of them. When forming his personal opinions on heated topics, he prefers to turn to the official websites of organizations or well-thought-of media sources. “In this way, the information can be the most reliable（可靠的）.” he said.
1. What does the Douyin influencer teach in her videos?2. What are the newest search habits of young people?
3. According to Li Zhouzi, how is the information on Bilibili like?
4. How much more searching percentage（比例） does WeChat have than Douyin?
5. Where does Zhou get information about heated topics?
6. How do you search for the information you need? Why?
