【推荐2】Finding nutrition（营养）in wild plants was very important in ancient times. But nowadays, edible（可食用的）wild plants are delicious food on the tables of people living in cities. Russians have gotten a lot of experience in looking for a bite（一口）of nature.
In the old days, Russian farmers dried or pickled（腌制）wild vegetables in the winter, since the cold made it difficult to grow crops. In hard years, for some poor families, quinoa（藜麦）, nettles（荨麻）, burdock（牛蒡）and other wild plants, which are common in the mountains, became the main food.
Wild vegetables are also found in Russian literature. In A Sportsman’s Notebook by Ivan Turgenev, the author mentions making soup from burdock.
The days when most people feared starvation（饿死）are gone. Today, looking for vegetables in the wild has become an adventurous（冒险的）social activity in the country. In the spring, many Russians might bring their tools to gather wild vegetables with their families, noted the Global Times.
Among them, mushrooms（蘑菇）are some of the most popular.
“Calling yourself a mushroom hunter is like calling yourself a pizza eater. You just do it,” Julia Schelkunova, a Moscow-based Russian translator and guide, told The New York Times.
According to Nicolas Courtois, the chef（厨师）at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Moscow, one can explain the Russian love of mushroom hunting by the simple fact that the mushrooms found there are some of the best in the world. For him, mushroom hunting season is “one of the things that make Russia worth living in,” he told The New York Times.

【推荐3】My father and I went back to my hometown—Zibo in Shandong on May 5th to try Zibo barbecue.
Recently, the local food has become so popular that people all over China travel there to taste it.
On the way to Zibo, my father told me a story. Last year during the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of college students were stuck in Zibo. The local government helped students to get through that period and offered a great barbecue dinner when the quarantine (隔离) was over. The government officers also invited the students to come back to Zibo again when spring came. I was moved when I heard this.
At 5 p.m., we arrived at the restaurant. My father had booked a table two days earlier. There are some differences between Zibo’s barbecue and the ones in other cities. Zibo’s barbecue restaurants have a small grill (烤架) on each table. People need to cook on the grill by themselves. When the food is ready, you put it onto a small pancake, and then add scallions (葱) and sauce before eating.
People in the restaurant didn’t know each other before. But we just talked naturally about daily life and sang together. The boss of the restaurant even danced. Some local people even put off their orders when they heard there weren’t enough seats. They wanted tourists from other places to have the chance to eat.
After eating the delicious food, I kept thinking about why Zibo became popular. Is it the promise between the government and the college students, or the unique (独特的), tasty food, or the warmhearted people?

1.Dinners
When you are invited to a dinner, you don’t have to eat everything .First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in rice bowl. You don’t have to eat it, but as a foreign guest (客人), you are supposed to be served first. If you don’t try anything, your host will be embarrassed (尴尬)—and will put it on your plate for you.
2.Bargaining
When you go to open-air markets or personal stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to build a friendly relationship(关系) first. You are creating a relationship with the businessma, not a price war. Think of it this way: Shouting, arguing, and pointing are not good. Smiling, being friendly, offering to buy more for a better price is. And don’t be afraid to ask, “Can you offer me a better price?”
3.Chopsticks
Don’t point with them at other people’s faces, and by all means don’t stick them upright in your rice bowl—that is how the Chinese honor (纪念) the dead at graves. You should put them beside the plate.
4.Smiling
Chinese smile for more reasons than Americans. A smile can mean the person is embarrassed, trying to be helpful, curious, happy or friendly. In the middle of an argument, smiling means that the speaker doesn’t want this to become personal. When all else fails, smile in China. It shows you have no ill intention (意图) and can work wonders in getting better service.

Wang Xin and her friends spent an afternoon eating snacks and fruits around a charcoal stove （炭炉）while enjoying freshly made white tea. For her, it has become a new way to stay away from the busy life in Beijing and also a way to connect healthy habits with modern lifestyles.
In fact, people in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan have a tradition of making tea over charcoal. However, for most young people in other places, it is a new way to relax the body and mind. It has become popular in the past few years, which may give young people a chance to know more about Chinese tea. They may fall in love with tea culture as a result of a pop culture trend （潮流）.
To spread tea culture to more young people, many new-style Chinese tea houses are looking for ways to attract customers. Heytea（喜茶）, for example, provides comfortable seats and space for people to enjoy tea and talk with friends or read a book at the same time.
Sun Xuling, who started another tea house called Theater Tea, has found that people nowadays prefer tea with less sugar as they pay more attention to health. So, their tea is often with less or zero sugar. Theater Tea is also planning to start a tea experience store, where customers can try different ways of making tea and learn more about tea culture.
Connecting traditional tea culture with pop culture and modern life is an exciting new trend in China. With Chinese tea becoming more and more popular, tea makers and tea houses are continuing to look for ways to spread the culture while keeping its traditional customs.

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while.

2. Drink Water & Milk
When you’re really thirsty, you can drink cold water. It’s also enough to drink 2 or 3 cups of milk a day.

Unlike other people, my Olympic heroes（英雄）are not Olympic champions（冠军）or the important people on the Olympic Committee（委员会）. They are just the ones who do everyday things for the Olympics. They work but have no popularity the famous people get. They are the Olympic volunteers.
These people aren’t the great stars of sports. They just want to do something for the Olympics by helping the Olympic Games go smoothly. With their help, the Olympic Games can be held successfully. The stars of the Games are like brightly colored boats on the sea, racing through the waves（波浪）. How lovely to watch them! But the volunteers are the wind, and no one sees them. If there’s no wind, the boats couldn’t move and no one would want to watch them. The volunteers bring the wind of life to the players.
The volunteers may never win medals, but they always do their best to cheer on the players, whether the players win or lose. Some would think what the volunteers do is boring and unimportant. But in my eyes, they are as important as the champions and the stars. I really admire（钦佩）them and I will always cheer for them. They are my Olympic heroes.

How scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle (微妙) and could be found in wrinkles (皱纹) or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.
The scientists thought of several possible reasons:
Diet. “We are what we eat.” As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out using another small study.
Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.
Empathy. This is the theory the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each other’s facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.
1. The old couples look ________ than the young couples.
| A．much more alike | B．more different | C．less alike | D．1ess different |
| A．ages | B．education | C．appearance | D．abilities |
