Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide acclaim.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures when making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the audience know how the Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li’s efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.
With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture.

（2020河南周口高二上期末）
George Church, a leading professor of genetics at Harvard University, is planning to create a dating app that can match users based on their genetic agreement.
1 .Two people considering going on a date take out their smartphones first and check each other’s genetic table to see whether there are any undesirable genes that cannot be determined from his/her outward appearance. Genetic deficiencies (基因缺陷) that might lead to diseases in offspring will be screened out first. Heart disease No. Immune deficiency No. Hemophilia No.
2 . Eye color, height preference, curly or straight hair. In the end, only those with the genes that promise the users a perfect child will date.
It sounds terrible. If the app becomes a reality, it could split people into different camps based on the genes they carry.
Some might argue that even now people are not wholly equal to each other—there are the rich and the poor to begin with. 3 . Genes, on the other hand, are fixed, with no hope of changing at least in the near future.
Church didn’t have this divisive goal in mind. In an interview, he said he hoped to let people know the genetic deficiencies in their mating partners so as to minimize the chances of giving birth to children with diseases. 4 .
The problem is not so much with genetic technology, which can help people find possible diseases before birth, and possibly even cure them through gene editing. But it would be a mistake to let everybody know of each other’s genetic information and make choices on that basis.
5 . Gene sequencing(基因排序)is becoming increasingly popular with many people choosing to know their genes better. It is reaching a stage where it becomes urgent for the law to protect such information and avoid possible leaks.
A. He will make it.
B. This is how it works.
C. That in turn calls for legislation(立法).
D. The app will be popular with different people.
E. Then comes the turn of harmless appearance characteristics.
F. But he will not be able to stop the above-mentioned possibility.
G. However, one can always struggle to improve one’s quality of life.
1. __________ 2. __________ 3. __________ 4. __________ 5. __________
