26、 Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million flowers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the bogger told China.org.cn. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”
Li sems to be a master of all kinds of sills—cooking, painting, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired work. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China’s traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
“She told the stories of China’s culture and that of China.” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li’s simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don’t dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today’s society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”

28、 White chocolate, German chocolate, ice cream: There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world, each beautiful in its own sugary way. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one (hopefully all) of your birthday parties. But in between delicious bites of cake, have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”
It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. Kind of.
The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god.
Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to Artemis, goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. Hence, it is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.
Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th century German celebration “Kinderfeste”. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.
And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. Like modern tradition, the birthday girl or boy wouldn’t tell anyone the wish so it would come true.
Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origin of birthday cakes. B.The significance of birthday cakes.
C.The history of birthday parties. D.The introduction of cake production.
【2】Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?
A.Germans. B.Pharaohs.
C.Ancient Greeks. D.Ancient Egyptians.
【3】The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.pleasure B.replacement
C.sharing D.suffering
【4】Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?
A.The transport was inconvenient.
B.The ingredients of cakes were expensive.
C.The cake could not be eaten before dinner.
D.The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.
29、How to Sleep Well
Get some exercise at least three hours before bed.
Go for a run, hit the gym, take long walk, or do some stretches to help you get your heart rate going before you ease into bed. 【1】 Doing this at least three hours before bed will work. If you work out shortly before bed, then you will feel more awake than ever.
【2】
If you want to make it easier for you to fall asleep, then you have to get used to falling asleep at around the same time every night and waking up around the same time every morning. That way, your body will get used to feeling more tired at the same time every night.
Stick to the fifteen-minute rule.
【3】 If you’ve been lying in bed for more than fifteen minutes and are unable to fall asleep because you’re not tired, then try something else. If you continue to lie there, your mind will continue churning, and you may even work yourself up and feel even more awake. Once fifteen minutes have passed and you’re no closer to falling asleep, do something else. Read a magazine. Pace around your room. Sit up and stare at your hands. 【4】
Think about everything you did that day.
Another way to calm your mind is to go through everything you did that day, up to the most boring little detail. Try to break it down hour by hour and see how specific you can get and how many things you can end up remembering. 【5】
A.Don’t sleep late in the morning to stick to your regular habit.
B.This will work out your body and will make you more tired.
C.Do something new and you will start to fall asleep gradually.
D.Chances are that this alone will be boring enough to put you to sleep.
E.Make your bed more comfortable.
F.This rule is simple.
G.Go to bed around the same time every night.
