21、China’s Ministry of Culture announced the Fifth National List of Representative Elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) of China on Thursday, adding 185 items to the list, including the skills of making Luosifen.
Luosifen, or river snail rice noodles, is a dish known for its special smell in the southern Chinese city of Liuzhou. Those who try it say they can never forget the magical taste. Combining the traditional food of the Han people with that of the Miao and Dong ethnic (民族的) groups, Luosifen is sour, spicy, salty, hot and even smelly after being boiled.
Originating in Liuzhou in the 1970s, Luosifen served as an inexpensive street snack that people outside of the city knew little about. In 2012, Luosifen appeared in a hit Chinese food TV program, “A Bite of China”. After that it became a household name. And two years later, China had the first company to sell packaged Luosifen.
The development of the Internet, especially the boom of e-commerce and online eating show, has brought this Chinese local food passion to a new level. Luosifen often shows up in videos by food bloggers and eating show hosts. One of the most influential (有影响的) is Li Ziqi, who has 15.5 million viewers on YouTube. Her video of how to make Luosifen has gained millions of views on the website abroad.
The development of the Internet allowed Luosifen to be well received. According to data from Tmall and Taobao, both e-commerce platforms under Alibaba, the turnover of Luosifen this whole year was 15 times more than that of last year’s, with the number of buyers growing 9 times year on year. The largest group of buyers was the post-90s generation.
As Luosifen becomes more and more popular, the local government is trying to establish official international position of this unique fine food. Authorities in Liuzhou City have applied for UNESCO’s recognition of Luosifen as an intangible cultural heritage.

22、Don’t always believe what scientists and other authorities tell you! Be skeptical! Think critically! That’s what I tell my students. Early in my career, I was a conventional science writer, easily impressed by scientists’ claims. But doubt gradually weakened my faith. Scientists and journalists, I realized, by continuously boasting scientific “advances”—from theories of cosmic (宇宙的) creation and the origin of life to the latest treatments for depression and cancer, made science seem more powerful and fast-moving than it really is. Now, I urge my students to doubt the claims of some scientists. This isn’t science anymore; I declare in class, it’s only science fiction with equations! To drive this point home, I assign articles by John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist who has exposed the weakness of most peer-reviewed research. In a 2005 study, he concluded that “most published research findings are false.”
So how do my students respond to my skeptical teaching? Some react with healthy pushback, especially to my suggestion that the era of really big scientific discoveries might be over. “On a scale from toddler knowledge to ultimate enlightenment, man’s understanding of the universe could be anywhere,” wrote a student named Matt. “How can a person say with certainty that everything is known or close to being known if it is incomparable to anything?”
Other students embrace skepticism to a degree that shocks me. Cecelia, a biomedical-engineering major, wrote: “I am skeptical of the methods used to collect data on climate change, the analysis of this data, and the predictions made based on this data.” Pondering (思索) the lesson that correlation does not equal causation, Steve questioned the foundations of scientific reasoning. “How do we know there is a cause for anything?” he asked.
In a similar way, some students echoed the claim of radical (激进的) postmodernists that we can never really know anything for certain, and hence that almost all our current theories will probably be overturned. Just as Aristotle’s physics gave way to Newton’s, which in turn yielded to Einstein’s, so our current theories of physics will surely be replaced by completely different ones.
After one especially harsh paper, I responded, “Whoa!” Science, I lectured sternly, has established many facts about reality beyond a reasonable doubt, embodied by quantum mechanics, general relativity, the theory of evolution, the genetic code. This knowledge has yielded applications—from vaccines to computer chips—that have transformed our world in countless ways. It is precisely because science is such a powerful mode of knowledge, I said, that you must treat new pronouncements skeptically, carefully distinguishing the genuine from the false. But you shouldn’t be so skeptical that you deny the possibility of achieving any knowledge at all.
My students listened politely, but I could see the doubt in their eyes. We professors have a duty to teach our students to be skeptical. But we also have to accept that, if we do our jobs well, their skepticism may turn on us.
【1】Why was the author’s faith in science weakened?
A．Because some essays from his peer scholars cast strong doubt on science.
B．Because scientists often presented an overly optimistic picture of science.
C．Because he was tired of reading too much science fiction with equations.
D．Because an academic figure claimed that most published research findings were false.
【2】Which of the following was Not one of the students’ responses to the author’s skeptical teaching?
A．Some doubted his suggestion of the limitation of scientific discoveries.
B．Some questioned the way of data collecting and scientific reasoning.
C．Some launched harsh criticism against the author’s advocacy of skepticism.
D．Some claimed there was no certainty for any established theory.
【3】What did the author think of his students’ responses?
A．He considered them as a display of their creativity.
B．He viewed them a must in order to understand the spirit of science.
C．He treated them as an extreme application of skepticism.
D．He regarded them as a kind of respect paid by students to their teacher.
【4】Which might be the best title for this article?
A．When Teaching Critical Thinking Backfires
B．Skepticism Makes Teaching More Fun
C．No Doubt, No Science
D．Students Turn Out Better Than Teacher as NOT one of the students
23、Russ Miller, 36, from Ohio, was first found ill with a serious disease when he was just 26. The condition attacked joints (关节)，making it more and more difficult for him to do everyday tasks.
“My hands are not shaped properly and I can’t manipulate them normally,”said Miller in a letter to the company. “I can no longer use normal computer keyboards and it’s hard for me to even hold a pen anymore.”
Russ’ condition worsened at fast speed, which resulted in him living on the streets in Florida for 4 years —but in 2018, he started trying to turn his life around.
“I was trying to get help and get myself out of my situation. I had a phone, but I had difficulty typing on normal keyboards... So I started looking for different smartphone keyboards. I found Typewise by accident.”
Russ thinks much of the Typewise smartphone keyboard for it enables him to “get his life back”by giving him freedom to communicate with people, get help, get an apartment and even get a job.
“Because I was able to type on my phone again, I was able to use social media to reach out to an organization that helps people with disabilities.”
It’s the specially designed keyboard that Russ finds a lot easier to use. “I can move my fingers around and don’t mess things up as often.”
“Now I have a part-time job where I take care of dogs and cats. I can’t work full-time because of my physical problems, but at least I have something to do and something to look forward to.”

24、I’ve always dealt with anxiety.

I found a few sure-fire ways to achieve some peace of mind. I hope these techniques help you find your own oasis in the storm.
Step away from your screens. After a long stressful day, I’m often tempted to unwind with some TV time. But now I try taking some time away from my screens first. 【2】 It can improve your sleep and boost your mood. Instead, you can read or have a short walk or take part in other activities.
【3】 Spending time with your pets can be a great way to slow down and put your mind at ease. It can decrease your blood pressure and help you manage anxiety or depression. When I’m feeling stressed. I’ll watch the squirrels in my backyard. 【4】
Tend to your plants. One day my friend left a spider plant sprout on my front stoop and I decided to try my hand at being a plant parent once again. I was surprised by the effect it had on me. 【5】 It gave me a chance to step away from my desk and move around. And there were even more benefits I didn’t take into account!
