【推荐2】Pat has an unusual hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yoghurt (酸奶)with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father's workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some herself for the first time. " It wasn't great," she says, " but the workers told me what I was doing wrong and that helped me to slowly get better. "
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn't have to buy it. Her parents keep 100 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year, Pat's neighbor gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn't produce milk yet.
Pat and her family make several types of cheese. Recently they won a prize for one of them. "It’s been great for helping customers find out about us, " says Pat. " Last month we started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in magazines. Soon we're going to do some advertisements, too. "
Pat’s next idea is to post some online recipes (菜谱) for cooking with cheese. “Our cheese is lovely with pizza—I hope a restaurant might buy some one day. But right now Pat is still at school. Making cheese is fun and winning a prize for it is great, but doing well in my studies matters more for now. "

【推荐1】During the years of game making, there have been lots of games. Many old games have disappeared since modern games came out.
Teachers at school asked their students to write articles about games they knew. To their surprise, half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games. It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar to many of today’s school children. They like to play computer games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.
Traditional games used to be so popular. The games that many parents once played were mostly outdoor activities, which were enjoyed by students during a 10-minute break or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.
Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. Rubber band jumping(跳橡皮筋) was once popular in primary school. Many rubber bands were connected together to make a long rope. Girls loved playing this games. It can help kids practice their jumping skills and develop coordination(协调性), and also help them meet lots of friends.
It’s common these days to see students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies. Unlike their parents, today’s children don’t know what to play or how to play. They don’t know what teamwork is. Being worried by the situation, some schools have tried to make some programs to educate children on tradition games.

【推荐3】Chopsticks are the traditional cooking and eating tools in Asia. They have been used in nearly all of East Asia for over thousands of years. They were first used by the Chinese and later spread to other countries, such as Japan, Korea and Thailand. Nowadays, chopsticks are commonly made of bamboo, plastic and wood.
The English word “chopstick” may come from Chinese Pidgin(混杂语式)English, in which “chop chop” meant “quickly”. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word was first used in the book Voyages and Descriptions by William Dampier in 1699.
Chopsticks were invented in ancient China. They appeared much earlier before the Xia Dynasty, sometime around nine thousand years ago. The earliest evidence(证据)was six pairs of chopsticks, made of bronze(青铜), 26 cm long and 1.3cm wide. They were found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang in Henan Province and dated back to about 1200 BC. Scientists supposed that they were used for cooking. About the use of chopsticks, the earliest known record comes from Han Feizi written by Han Fei in the 3rd century BC.
The first chopsticks were probably used for cooking, but not as eating tools. Chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. That’s because chopsticks were more easily used than other sharp eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. They then had the name kuaizi and the present shape.
