Looking around, I found that everyone had their own favourite sauce combinations(酱料组合), ingredients and styles(食材和风格). Some would carefully 16 their ingredients into the hot pot One after another. Others would impatiently put whole plates into the bubbling(冒泡的) oil.
You can learn a lot from the 17 people eat hot pot. When I went back to the USA, I 18 to prepare a hot pot meal for my family. It allowed me to not only share the culture that I had learned about, but also offer others a chance to 19 China like I had. It's amazing that 20 could bring so much to life!

Arabic is a language of over twenty countries across the Middle East and North Africa. It's also one of the six official languages of the UN. Now about 400 million people worldwide speak Arabic.
Arabic has different varieties (种类). One of them is Modern Standard Arabic. It is taught at schools in all Arabic-speaking countries and used formally over media. Colloquial Arabic is another variety which people in the Arab world usually use in their everyday life.
Arabic is written from right to left in a beautiful and flowing script. Written Arabic is formed from eighteen different curves with dots above or below. The curve with one dot below is pronounced /b/, two on top is /t/, and three on top is /th/, while the curve with two dots below is pronounced /y/.
A main feature of Arabic is the three-letter root (词根) system. Almost every Arabic word is based on a root of three letters. If you take a root and add other letters to it, you can create many words related (有关联的) to the meaning of that root. For example, "k-t-b" is a common root in Arabic. Some words from that root are kitaab ("book") and maktaba ("library").

Because of Ji Zha's sticking to righteousness (义) and wide learning, he was his father's favourite, and the king wanted to make him his heir (继承人). However, Ji Zha refused because he thought the king's eldest son should be the one to receive the throne. Later, Ji Zha served as an ambassador (外交大臣) of Wu to other kingdoms in China.
Once, on a mission to the Kingdom of Lu, Ji Zha passed through the Kingdom of Xu. The king of Xu received him as a friend, and admired the valuable sword (剑) Ji Zha was wearing.

Ji Zha shook his head, "When I came to the Kingdom of Xu last time, I noticed that my friend admired my sword, and I decided that when I came back I would give it to him.

Many apps, including those used for social media and video, have added a "teen mode (模式)" to protect teenagers. 31 This mode protects them by controlling how long they can use the app and preventing them doing some unsafe things, such as watching some harmful advertisements and paying money for games.
32 For example, in QQ's teen mode, users can only talk to people who are on their contact list. Their chat records show pinyin, which is useful for primary school students. In the teen mode, most video apps allow users to only watch safe and educational videos. 33 The control of time is good to the necessary rest of the eyes of teenagers. 34 According to a report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council, some apps which are covered live have no difference in content between teen mode and normal mode. In some video apps, teen mode can be skipped (略过) after 40 minutes by just clicking "I know". 35 So this mode still has a long way to go.
A. Users can only watch videos for 40 minutes.B. Users can then continue to watch videos.C. How does this mode work D. At the same time, these apps also have a harmful side. E.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for many people. Healthy eating is really important. How can you have a healthy diet Here are five tips that are worth 46 in your daily life.
Eat 47 animal fat. The kind of fat in your diet really has to do with heart disease. If you're a red meat lover, don't choose the animal meat with much fat. When you're shopping for milk products like cheese and yogurt, choose those with less or no fat. And remember to use plant oils instead of butter in cooking.
Choose fruit or vegetables. Either of them can provide a great number of good things for your body. If you are afraid of too many calories, focus more on vegetables since they usually have less sugar than fruit do. Set a goal 48 one more serving than you do now! Then try to have five servings a day.
Choose the natural first. Nature provides important things like fiber (纤维) in foods to meet the needs of your body. There are also man-made foods to support your body with these important things. For example, some biscuits are advertised as rich in fiber. But do remember: nature provides the best .
Pick fresh foods more. Follow the saying, “If it’s grown, eat it.” Simply prepared fresh food is always the best choice. Research shows that more than seventy-five percent of salt you eat is from boxed, bagged and specially 49 dried or frozen food. What's worse, most of the bad fats which you need to avoid are also from them.
Control your food size. You should not only think about what you eat, but also how much you eat. Even the calories from healthy food can add up fast. So try using smaller plates and bowls, to fool your eyes 50 you're "seeing" a large part and add the pleasure of eating "the whole thing".
Remember healthy eating is a long-term project, you need to follow the tips over time, not daily. Then your healthy diet will certainly support a healthy heart.
六、短文填空
Learning English can be difficult or interesting. It depends on 51 you are doing it.
To begin with, read as much as you can in English. From cartoons to British literature, anything
is OK. If you wish to improve yourself, you have to choose something that can provide you 52 a challenge. So renew your library card, choose your favourite English magazines or go online.
53 (understand) British or American culture can also be a part of language learning. The expressions or situations can be understood and remembered 54 (well) if you know a couple of patterns, books or poems.
Where and how, you might ask. There are some 55 (method) of doing this. You can start
your own blog in English about your hobby, travel experiences or anything that makes you 56 (interest). If you don't want to write, read other people's blogs or articles in English and give some reviews when you have your 57 ideas. You can also try to find an online community that has the same interest as you. In this community you can share your thoughts in English. This usually 58 (seem) to be the most difficult part, but you have to challenge yourself. If you have the chance to use English, don't lose it.
Finally, never forget the power of relaxation. As the saying goes," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." You don't always have to force 59 (you) to study if you are tired. You can listen to some music or watch a movie. It's also a good idea to keep 60 (close) contact with. nature and go out to breathe more fresh air after a hard day's work. It doesn't sound too difficult, does it

Have you ever tasted a kind of snack, which is also of the traditional Chinese forms of art--sugar painting.
Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls (货摊) in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China.
The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a
revolvable arrow (可旋转箭头) on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make.
Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the
material, a spoon as the "paintbrush", and a smooth slab (台面) as the "paper". To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid (固体的) if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done.
The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art.
They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Intangible Culture Heritage.
61. Did sugar painting become popular in the Ming Dynasty
62. Where do the sugar painters usually sit
63. When do the customers turn the arrow
64. How do sugar painters make the syrup before painting
65. Why do some of the sugar painters hold different activities
