In winter, many Chinese people enjoy hot dumplings(jiaozi) for dinner. Dumplings, however, are popular not only in China. People in Poland(波兰) love dumplings, too. Of course, their favourite dumplings are not called jiaozi. Instead, they are called pierogi.
Beata Jasek, a woman in southern Poland, makes pierogi by hand every day. She likes this job very much. “Pierogi are my life，” she said. “And I'm glad to see people like my pierogi.”
As with jiaozi, pierogi are not easy to make. First, you roll out the dough(生面团) thinly and cut it into small rounds. Then, you fill the rounds with plums(梅子), cherries, cheese or salmon(三文鱼肉). After that, you fold the rounds in half and seal(把……封上) them by pressing along the edges(边). Make sure the fillings won't fall out when you are boiling these pierogi.
Jasek has made pierogi for 15 years. She is very skillful in making the dumplings. On September 24, 2019, she broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest pierogi?making. She made 1，066 pierogi in one hour!
The Spring Festival is just around the corner. Do you have any wishes for the New Year? Perhaps you can think about your skills at one of your favourite hobbies—just as Jasek has done.
(　　)24.Beata Jasek may be a good ________.
A．teacher B．nurse

(　　)25.Which is the right order of making pierogi?
①Put some plums, cherries, cheese or other food on the small rounds.

(　　)26.According to the record, Jasek can make about ________ pierogi in one minute.
A．10 B．17 C．340 D．1，000

An apple, a common, everyday fruit, has become a business opportunity(机会) for Chinese people during Christmas.
Apples with pictures of cute words or packed(包装) in beautiful boxes could sell for 10 to 20 yuan each during Christmas while the most expensive one could reach as much as 500 yuan.

A thousand people have 1，000 ways to celebrate Christmas Eve. Christmas, as a Western festival, is becoming more and more popular in China. People have their own ways to celebrate it. On Dec.24, 2017, students in an art college in Shandong sold the apples painted with pictures to raise money for a charity that would give away the money to the children in rural areas.

Do you enjoy visiting a museum? Did you ever make a plan before a visit? Every museum must have something that attracts you. And there are many possible ways to enjoy yourself in a museum.
If you follow these steps below, you'll know what is worth seeing and doing, so that you can make the most of your time at the museum.
Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museums and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!
Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as：
The exhibits(展品)—See what is on show at the museum at all times, and what special exhibitions are held for a short time.
The history of the museum—There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐赠者). That can make your visit more interesting.
Activities—See whether there are talks, tours or special activities on the day when you visit. Many museums hold some activities that meet the interest of all age groups.
Cost, food and storage—It's important to know how much the visit will cost. You have to decide whether or not you can eat there. You might also need to find out about transportation needs, as well as storage for coats, bags etc.
Learn at least one thing on your visit. It is always good to take away something new from your visit.
Plan breaks into your visit. When you walk around, standing here and studying exhibits there, you may become very tired. So it is important to take breaks. A break is a good opportunity for you to think of what you have seen and what else you might want to do in the museum.
Take a friend or two. Visiting museums is always a lot more fun when you are with someone else. You can talk over what you're seeing. A friend also brings another way of thinking when you talk about the exhibits.

Chinese Culture
While China is almost the same size as the US in area, it is home to about 1.4 billion people. It has a special culture with a very long history.
Chinese Food
Food plays an important role in Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The most obvious(明显的) difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favourite drink and it is popular in the market.
Chinese New Year
The Chinese calendar(日历) is called a lunar(阴历的) calendar. It is not the same as the one used in the US. Chinese New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before Chinese New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.
Chinese Zodiac(生肖)
The Chinese zodiac, known as shengxiao, follows a twelve?year cycle(循环). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2020 is the Year of the Rat.
Chinese Language
Chinese is a complex(复杂的) language. Chinese writing developed nearly 4，000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character represents(代表) a word and also a meaning. Unlike English, there are no spaces in Chinese writing. Besides Standard Chinese, or Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects(方言)．
