Keeping traditions alive is never an easy thing. Chen Zunkai is the founder (创办者) of Baoyuan Dumpling House. She has spent over 17 years improving one of the most traditional Chinese foods — dumplings.
Her dumplings are not white ones simply filled with meat, but colorful ones using more than 150 kinds of fillings (馅料).
“What I try to do is to make dumplings have a taste of home,” says Chen. “I hope all customers, Chinese people or foreigners, can taste something nice.”
Chinese dumplings are believed to be more than 2,000 years old. Traditionally, they are made and eaten by people in North China at some festivals such as the Spring Festival.
For Chen, her idea came after she found that there were not many choices for those who preferred dumplings. Most vegetarian (素菜的) dumplings have a filling of only two or three kinds of ingredients, and not one restaurant in Beijing has more than 10 kinds of vegetarian fillings.
“I thought I could do better,” says Chen.
Baoyuan Dumpling House has certainly made it. Customers not only find basic meat dumplings at this restaurant, but also are offered quite a lot of other choices with different colors and exciting taste.
( )70.How many kinds of fillings are there in Baoyuan Dumpling House
A.Over 17. B.Over 150.
C.Over 1,500. D.Over 2,000.

C.原料 D.调料
( )72.What does the writer think of Baoyuan Dumpling House
A.Great. B.Terrible.

Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns.
Palace lantern (宫灯)
It was mainly used in palaces in ancient times. When making palace lanterns, fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations (装饰) in palaces.
Gauze lantern (纱灯)
Less expensive bamboo and gauze (薄纱) were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. In Chinese culture, red lanterns are symbols of happiness. So red lanterns are always hung on important festivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all year round. They have become a symbol of Chinese culture worldwide.
Shadow-picture lantern (走马灯)
It was usually used for amusement. The shape was much like that of the palace lanterns. There were two layers (层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit (被点燃), the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.
Now more kinds of lanterns appear on festivals besides the traditional ones. More modern technology is used on making lanterns. The shapes of the modern lanterns have changed a lot too.

Dear Mother,
Today is my fifteenth birthday. It's at night now, and I'm writing to you. You have made so many rules for me, and they bring me a lot of stress. You always educate me to be friendly to other people and study hard. I like eating a little junk food in the evening, but you ask me to stay away from it. You always say it's bad for my health and that I shouldn't eat it at all. I like to listen to some music to relax myself after finishing my homework, but I'm not allowed to do that. You think it will get in the way of my study. In fact, it's good for teenagers to develop some hobbies.
I really hope I can make my own decisions.
Yours,
Peter

One Possible Version:
Reading Is Very Important
Reading can not only open our eyes but also improve our knowledge. Some people say that money is the best thing in the world, but I consider reading is the best.
Reading is very important. By reading we can get all kinds of knowledge. Further more, reading books makes our life enjoyable.
I have many favorite books such as Five Thousand Years of Chinese History and Little Red Riding Hood. Every day I swim in the sea of books. I like reading them after school. I plan to read more English books to improve my English ability this year. I usually buy them on the Internet because it's easy for me to do that.
Reading is a kind of enjoyment and is a way to experience pleasure. Let's do more reading together.
