The robot dog in the picture is called Cyberdog. It is carrying out its task to look
around a substation (变电站) in Nanjing. If there is something wrong, it will quickly
report the problem to the human workers. As a new type of automatic (自动的) robot,
it has many high-tech sensors. With these “eyes” and “ears”, it can cover a large area.
The robot in this picture, called EveR 6, led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a
performance in South Korea. It’s about as tall as a person and with a human-like face.
It can show emotions. And its joints (关节) allow it to move its arm quickly and
smoothly in different directions. But it is still unable to hear and think on its own.
This is Qibbot, a teleoprated one-armed robot created by three Chinese
engineers. It stands as high as 1.9 meters and weighs as much as 140 kilograms. It
can mirror the real movements of a skilled human fighter and has a low delay (延迟)
time of only 12 millisecond (毫秒) which marks a new height for teleoperated robot
systems. The creators said it is the “world’s fastest” telerobot. They also believed that
Qibbot can be used in different emergencies (紧急情况) and dangerous situations in
the future.
Watch out, ARTEMIS is here! It’s the world’s fastest walking humanoid (人形
的) robot. It’s also one of the few robots that can run and kick a ball. While
ARTEMIS won’t be at the next FIFA World Cup, it’s ready to show off its full
abilities at RoboCup. This international robotics competition will be held in France
this July.

Hui-style buildings are very important in Chinese history.
The rise of Hui-style buildings can date back to the Ming Dynasty, when business in the area helped develop
its special architectural (建筑学的) style. Huizhou businessmen not only saved a lot of money, but also paid
attention to culture, education and local construction.
Hui-style buildings pay attention to materials and craftsmanship. Hui-style buildings mainly use wood
structure. The hardwood provides good load-bearing and durability (耐用性), such as teak (柚木), phoebe (楠木)
and so on. The wood is carefully used to make sure of the structural stability (稳固性) and service life of the
building. Hui-style architecture uses mortise (卯) and tenon (榫) joint structure. The mortise and tenon joint
makes the building more stable and reduces the dependence on metal joints. Dougong is often used in Hui-style
architecture. They not only make building beautiful, but also help reduce pressure in structure.
Hui-style architecture shows the design rule of balance, such as depth, doors and windows, courtyards and so
on, which can show the beauty of balance. The design of buildings also makes full use of the landform and
respects the changes of mountains and rivers. It echoes (呼应) with mountains, rivers and water bodies nearby to
create a harmonious (和谐的) natural landscape and show the beauty of the area. Hui-style architecture pays
attention to its connection with the natural environment, which stands for the traditional Chinese thought of “the
unity of heaven and man”.
The historical background and geographical features of Hui-style architecture are of great importance to its
speciality and value.
4. What can we learn from Para. 3?
A. Mortise and tenon joint structure makes the building stronger.
B. Wood is chosen as the material for its better durability than metal.
C. Hui-style buildings are famous for the unusual shape and craftsmanship.
D. Dougong plays a role in increasing both beauty and pressure in structure.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about Hui-style buildings?
A. Hui-style buildings take both the beauty and the money into consideration.
B. Hui-style buildings use hardwood instead of metal just for longer service life.
C. Hui-style buildings develop on the basis of people’s sense of unity of heaven and man.
D. Hui-style architecture pays no attention to the landscape but follows the beauty of balance.
6. What is the writer’s purpose in writing about Hui-style architecture?
A. To introduce its history, features and culture.
B. To attract tourists to visit Hui-style architecture.
C. To show its great importance in architecture field.
D. To teach people how to build Hui-style architecture.

What is happiness? It seems like a strange question, but is it?
How to be happy?
Happiness is not the result of jumping from one joy to the next. Researchers find that achieving happiness
12requires us to pass through the pain and discomfort. Social relationships, even your neighbours—all influence
how happy you are or can be. Research shows that much of happiness is under personal control.
Signs of a happy person
Happy people live with purposes. They find joy in lasting relationships, work toward their goals and live
according to their values. Such a person is fine with the simple pleasure of life—petting a dog, sitting under a tree,

Myths (荒诞的说法) of happiness
Many thoughts are untrue when it comes to what we think will make us happy. People often believe that
happiness will be achieved once they reach a certain milestone, such as finding a perfect partner or landing a good
job. However, people will be used to their new relationship or wealth, return to a baseline level of happiness and
look for the next milestone. Luckily, the same thing happens when we suffer setbacks (挫折). We will most likely
find happiness again.
Research shows that the sweet spot for yearly income is between $60,000 and $95,000, not a million-dollar
salary. A person earning $150,000 a year will not necessarily be as happy as a person earning a lot less.
Health and happiness are closely related to each other. That’s not to say that people with illnesses can’t be
happy, but that attending to one’s health is important to a person’s happiness. Making changes to diet, exercise,
sleep, and more can help everyone feel happier.
7. From the second paragraph, we can infer that .
A. happiness starts from jumping happily
B. happiness can be achieved without discomfort
C. happiness is a joyful thing that can influence you
D. happiness isn’t the same thing to you as it is to others
8. The underlined word “content” in the passage probably means .
A. satisfied B. nervous C. worried D. patient
9. According to the research, how much money does a happy person probably make every year?
A. 50,000 dollars. B. 85,000 dollars. C. 150,000 dollars. D. A million dollars.
10. Which can be probably put in “ ”?
A. Happiness and health B. Diet and health
C. Happiness and exercise D. Sleep and health

Do you envy people who have a good memory? They only have to spend a few minutes on a page and will
remember the content. There are many things you can do to improve your memory, such as using various
memorizing methods as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you regularly stimulate your brain to make your memory more efficient (有效的).
1311 You can also do activities that you do not usually do and change your daily habits.
Learning a new skill helps your brain develop. When trying to memorize something, you should focus your
attention on the most important things about it. 12 Being often distracted forms a fixed
habit of thinking, which is hard to change.
13 Try to see the images in your mind. Taking notes, being organized and keeping a
diary will also be useful tools. Practise makes perfect. It’s necessary for you to put it into practise and check out
the results and improve the connection.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are essential (必不可少的) for your memory to work properly. Drinking
a lot of water also helps maintain your memory. 14 When you are asleep, your brain
stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being tired
will stop you from being able to concentrate (集中注意力) well. Caffeine in tea and coffee is very good at
preventing sleepiness and helping concentration. However, some people believe they may cause problems with
memory.
Have a strategy (策略) in recalling things. 15 Some people read aloud when
studying. These are methods people use to remember things more clearly. Think about your own effective ways.
In order to concentrate well, you must be relaxed. Generally keeping fit and having regular health checks are
both important as well, and not just for improving your memory.
A. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures.
B. Find ways to avoid stress, so your brain will be refreshed and ready to take on new information.
C. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest too.
D. For example, do more mental activities such as puzzles, word games, and learn a new language.
E. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables and grains.
F. Some people write notes or nod with speakers to make themselves more focused during lectures.
G. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will lower your chances of remembering
things correctly.

So far, China has 43 items on the intangible (无形的) cultural heritage (遗产) list of the UNESCO (联合国
教科文组织), the most enlisted country in the world. Here are four of them.
The item, “Craftsmanship of Nanjing Yunjin brocade” was written on UNESCO’s
Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
In the Chinese tradition of weaving Nanjing Yunjin brocade, two craftspeople (工
匠) operate the upper and lower parts of a large, complicated loom (织布机) to produce
textiles including fine materials such as silk, gold and peacock feather yarn.
The skill was once used to produce emperors’ dragon robes; today, it is still used to
make high-end clothes.
The item “Chinese Zhusuan, knowledge and practices of mathematical calculation
(计算) through the abacus (算盘)” was written on UNESCO’s Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013.
With a history of about 1800 years, Chinese Zhusuan is considered as the world’s
oldest computer. But it is quite different from modern computers. It uses an abacus.
In the late 20th century, the Chinese invented mental arithmetic based on Zhusuan,
which has a lasting influence on mathematical calculation.
14Viewed as the first place among the four Chinese high culture activities, guqin was
added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity in 2008.
The most famous guqin musician was Yu Boya. The piece Flowing Water, High
Mountains has been passed down through generations and is considered as one of the
most famous works in Chinese guqin music.
The item “Traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in
China” was added to the intangible cultural heritage list on Nov. 29, 2022.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and
drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six types of tea: green, yellow, dark, white,
oolong and black teas.
As a way of boiling tea, weilu zhucha is popular among young people now which
makes people taste a slower life.

Do you know without air conditioners, how did the ancient Chinese cool themselves in summer?
The ancient Chinese fashion was more conservative (保守的), so the hot summer could make anyone
uncomfortable. To keep cool, women would wear thin silk clothes. These clothes were not just for women, men
wore them as well. For people living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, clothing made of
bamboo was popular. There were different ways to keep cool in the past.
Without fridges, natural ice was the key to making cold drinks in ancient China. In summer, in addition to
cold wine, people also enjoyed shaved ice (刨冰).
It is said that Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty in China, loved to drink milk, and would add ice
to the milk to make it last longer in summer. He also added jam to his favourite icy drink, creating the world’s first
prototype (原型) of ice cream.
So where did they keep ice to prevent it from melting in summer? During the Warring States period, ice was
kept in a device called bingjian (冰鉴), which was made of metal.
In ancient China, style of architecture made keeping cool an easy task. For the emperors during the Qing
Dynasty, the Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples in Chengde, Hebei Province, were places where they
spent their hot summer days.
In the Forbidden City, there were five ice cellars (冰窖) for storing ice throughout the year. In winter, thick
ice would be cut from rivers and placed inside the ice cellars. No light or heat from the outside could enter the
cellar. As many as 5,000 blocks of ice could be put in each one, and the doors wouldn’t be opened until the next
hot summer.

Tom and Becky walked down a winding passage (通道) inside a cave,
holding their candles high. They saw names and dates written on the wall with
candle smoke by other visitors to the cave. Becky and Tom read some of them as
they walked along. They were talking so much that it was a little while before they
noticed they were now in a part of the cave that had no writing on the wall. They
used candle smoke to write their own names on the rock and walked on.
Soon they came to a place where a little stream of water was running. Over
the years the cave wall had been shaped by the running stream, and it looked like a frozen waterfall. Tom went
behind it and lit it up with his candle so that Becky could see it better. Behind the stone waterfall he found an
opening in the rock, leading downwards. At once he wanted to explore it. Becky agreed and together they started
to walk down into the earth. They wound (弯曲前行) this way and that, far into the cave, making smoke marks
here and there to show the way back. This was exciting. They would have a lot to tell their friends above when
they returned.
In one place, they found a huge, open space full of shining stalactites (钟乳石), as long and thick as a man’s
leg. They walked around it and left by one of the many passages that opened into it. The next place they found
was full of bats. There were thousands of them. The candlelight woke them up, and they flew at the candle flames
at once. Tom knew this was dangerous and took Becky’s hand to hurry her away. He pulled her into the first
opening he found. And none too soon, one of the bats put out Becky’s candle with its wings as she ran away. The
bats chased (追逐) them quite a long way, but Tom and Becky ran into every new passage that they came to, and
at last they got away.

Humor, a kind of art, is necessary to a rate of comedy. 11 Moreover, it has more
functions than we would have ever expected.
First, humor is very necessary in communicating with others because it can soften relationship between
people. While getting along with others, difference and contradiction (矛盾) is unavoidable. Sometimes, when we
want to persuade others to agree with our points, we will find that our points are easier to be accepted if we argue
in a humorous tone. 12
Second, humor can adjust (调整) the atmosphere of different situations. For example, in a family, if the
husband has a good sense of humor, their family life would be more harmonious (和谐的) because he can adjust
the atmosphere in time to avoid argument.
13 It is not difficult to find that a humorous person is always warmly welcomed
anytime because he can bring happiness to everywhere he goes. Furthermore, staying with the humorous people,
we will find that we will be more positive and our lives will be more wonderful.
As a matter of fact, laughing is good for our health. One new study shows that the saying “Laughter is the
best medicine.” is probably true, reported The Guardian. Scientists did a study of 26 adults who had a type of
heart disease. Not enough blood and oxygen are sent to their heart. 14 Over three
months, half of the adults were told to watch funny TV shows and the other half were asked to watch serious
shows like documentaries. After the study, the scientists found that for those who watched the funny TV shows,
their ability to move oxygen around their body improved by 10 percent. Also, signs of inflammation (炎症) went
down more for the group than for those who watched serious shows. 15
Therefore, all of us need to learn some skills of humor and laugh more so that we can make our lives be more
wonderful and healthier.
A. A little joke brings us some trouble as well.
B. The world is full of joy because of it.
C. There is also inflammation (炎症) in their heart.
D. At last, humor can clearly be of much help to our work and study.
E. Now that’s something to smile about!
F. Arguing improperly only leads to more trouble.
G. Finally, a person having a good sense of humor can bring fun and joy to others.

The truth was at last beginning to dawn on the Duke. He put a cherry into his
mouth and chewed it slowly. “I like the way you picked these cherries for me,” he
said. “Could you also pick my apples in the autumn?”
“We could? We could? Of course we could?” we all shouted.
“And who are you?” the Duke said, pointing his stick at me.
“He is our Business Manager,” the Giraffe said. “His name is Billy. We go
nowhere without him.”
“Very well, very well,” the Duke muttered (嘀咕). “Come along with me and let’s see if you’re any good at
cleaning windows.”
I climbed out of the Pelican’s (鹈鹕的) beak and the kindly old Duke took me by the hand as we all walked
towards the house. When we got there, the Duke said, “What happens next?”
“It is all very simple, Your Grace,” the Giraffe replied. “I am the ladder, the Pelly is the bucket (桶) and the
Monkey is the cleaner. Watch us go!”
With that, the famous window-cleaning gang sprang into action. The Monkey jumped down from the
Giraffe’s back and turned on the garden tap. The Pelican held his great beak under the tap until it was full of water.
Then, with a wonderful springy (弹簧) leap the Monkey leaped (跳跃) up once again on to the Giraffe’s back.
From there he scrambled, as easily as if he were climbing a tree, up the long long neck of the Giraffe until he
stood balancing on the very top of her head.
“We’ll do the top floor first?” the Giraffe shouted down. “Bring the water up, please.” The Duke called out,
18“Don’t worry about the two top floors. You can’t reach them anyway.”
“Who says we can’t reach them?” the Giraffe called back.
“I do,” the Duke said firmly, “and I’m not having any of you risking
your silly necks around here.”
“What’s wrong with my neck?” snapped the Giraffe.
“Don’t argue with me, you foolish creature?” cried the Duke. “If you
can’t reach it, you can’t reach it and that’s the end of it? Now get on with
your work?”
“Your Grace,” the Giraffe said, giving the Duke a small superior (高
傲的) smile, “there are no windows in the world I cannot reach with this magical neck of mine.”
The Monkey, who was dancing about most dangerously on top of the Giraffe’s head, cried out, “Show him,
Giraffey? Go on and show him what you can do with your magical neck?”
The next moment, the Giraffe’s neck, which heaven knows was long enough already, began to grow longer
and LONGER …

and LONGER …

The International Space Station is a large spacecraft in orbit (轨道) around
Earth. It serves as a home where astronauts live. The space station is also a
special science laboratory. Several nations worked together to build and use the
space station. The space station is made of parts that were assembled (组装) in
space by astronauts. It orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles. It
travels at 17,500 mph. This means it orbits Earth every 90 minutes. NASA is
using the space station to learn more about living and working in space.
19The space station has the volume of a five-bedroom house or two Boeing 747 jetliners (喷气式客机). It is
able to support a crew of six people as well as visitors. On Earth, the space station would weigh almost a million
pounds. The station covers the area of a football field including the end zones. It includes laboratory modules (舱)
from the United States, Russia, Japan and Europe.
Besides the laboratories where astronauts do science research, the space station has many other parts. The
first Russian modules included basic systems needed for the space station to function. They also provided living
areas for crew members. Modules called “nodes” connect parts of the station to each other. Stretching out to the
sides of the space station are the solar arrays (电池板). These arrays collect energy from the sun to provide
electrical power. Robotic arms are outside the space station. Those arms can also move astronauts around when
they go on spacewalks outside. Other arms operate science experiments.
The space station’s laboratories allow crew members to do research that could not be done
anywhere else. The scientific research benefits people on Earth. Space research is even used in everyday life. The
results are products called “spinoffs.” Scientists also study what happens to the body when people live
in microgravity (微重力) for a long time. All of these lessons will be important for future space exploration.
NASA is working on a plan to explore other worlds. The space station is one of the first steps.These lessons
will make it possible to send humans farther into space than ever before.
7. Which writing skill is used in Paragraph 1 to explain the orbit of the space station?
A. Giving examples. B. Using sayings.
C. Raising questions. D. Listing numbers.
8. The space station .
A. offers future space exploration confidence and power
B. makes it possible to do usual scientific research as on Earth
C. serves as a science laboratory as well as a channel of communication
D. is operated with the help of the solar arrays collecting energy from the space
9. Which of the following can be put into “ ” in Paragraph 4?
A. It may take years for humans to make full use of the space resources.
B. The space station has made it possible for people to have an ongoing presence in space.
C. We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station.
D. In fact, the International Space Station is the largest international scientific project in human history.

Do you know World First Aid Day? Here’s some information about it. Let’s see
how important it is.
11 People who have sudden health emergencies (紧急情
况) like heart attacks or accidents may only have a few minutes to live unless they get
help. We can use technology to offer help faster. Let’s look at some technological
inventions that are helping save lives.
If someone needs first aid, even if you call an ambulance straight away, you may need to wait for a while.
There is often traffic on the roads. Some people in the US use smart app like PulsePoint. It invites ordinary people
trained in CPR (心肺复苏术) to use it. The app knows the users’ locations. 12
20There is a special gel (凝胶) called Vetigel. It is magic! 13 The gel is made from
plants. It can stick to a wound and help seal (密封) it. It was invented more than 10 years ago but was only
allowed to be used on animals. Now in the US, it has been allowed to be used on humans, too. And get this:
according to CGTN, Joe Landolina from the US was only 17 years old when he invented it! “What that means, on
the one hand, is that the gel will make a structure that holds the wound together,” Landolina says.
14 If people get injured (受伤) or need help in hard-to-reach areas, drones (无人机)
can be of great use. Because they can fly, drones can often offer help faster than people.
They can make helping people safer for rescuers working in dangerous conditions. They can also carry useful
things, like blankets or a life vest (救生衣) to save someone from drowning (溺水). 15
The drones are able to fly at speeds of up to 60 mph and when they are within a minute of the locations, the
doctors receive a text and wait nearby. The drone drops off the package and then returns to its home.
Technology is helping people to give first aid.
A. High-tech aid is on the way.
B. Technology also helps save lives faster.
C. Technology not only makes our lives more convenient (方便的), it can also save lives.
D. If someone needs first aid nearby, a user will get a message asking them to help.
E. When injected into a wound site, the gel can form a clot within 12 seconds and heal the wound
within minutes.
F. Drones can do a lot of things for us, taking photos, delivering (递送) things and following wild
animals.
G. One company in Africa use them to deliver medicine and blood fast and save many people’s lives.

“What difference does it make?” asked the lion, “I will never be free again.” He threw back his head and
roared again.
“If you stop roaring,” said the mouse, “I shall have you out of here in no time.”
To the lion’s s 9 , the mouse was already hard at work. He could hear the chomp, chomp, chomp of her
sharp teeth and strong jaws. Soon she had bitten through several ropes. The lion pulled free of the net. He looked
thankfully at the little mouse.
“Thank you,” said the lion gently. “You have proven to me that those who are small and w 10 may prove
to be strong in friendship and kindness.”

How can water wear away a hard stone? Is there a chance for the weak to win over the strong? Laozi, a
famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived around 2,500 years ago, might give us answers. He says, “In the
world, there is nothing weaker than water, but nothing can match it in overcoming the hard and strong; nothing
can replace it.”
Water is the softest thing in nature, but Laozi really admired it. The gentleness of water does not mean
weakness, but rather it shows a s 1 of perseverance (坚持) and determination (决心). C 2 to hard stones,
water is gentle. However, with continued efforts over time, even water drops can break through h 3 rock.
Water r 4 us that once we have chosen our goal, we need to stick to our plan. Even if our opponent (对
手) is difficult to overcome, those who keep going u 5 the end can still come out on top and have the last
laugh.
So, if you are the weaker one, don’t be sad. You should focus on what you are doing and never give up. And
if you are the s 6 one, don’t be too proud because anyone weaker than you still has a c 7 to beat you.
King Goujian of Yue swallowed (抑制) his pride to meet the unreasonable demands (要求) of Fuchai, the king of
Wu, and later defeated (打败) Wu. In another e 8 , Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty avoided fighting
Xiang Yu directly. I 9 , he built up his strength over time and defeated Xiang Yu’s army in one final war.
If we want to s 10 , we should think wisely about the balance of power and stick to our goals. Believe in
yourselves and never give up.

One bright morning, I was out for my usual run when I met an elderly lady who was waving her phone at me
and speaking in a language I couldn’t understand. It sounded like she was in a hurry to get somewhere. I quickly
r 1 that she was lost and couldn’t speak any English.
Then, she showed me some map screenshots on her phone, but I had no clue how to read them. So, I quickly
downloaded a translation app and I used the app to communicate with her. She spoke into the microphone in her
language and it t 2 her words into English for me to understand. I t 3 my responses (回复) and we were
able to communicate!
23We soon figured out that she needed to get home, which was a l 4 walk away. She didn’t want to use any
transportation but I o 5 to walk her to a bus stop where she could call her daughter for a ride. As we walked,
we laughed and joked, even though we couldn’t understand each other’s language. It was a pretty fun e 6 !
The elderly lady was very grateful for my help and kept t 7 me for my time. I had to keep reminding her
that it was no t 8 at all and that I was happy to help. It was amazing how just a small act of kindness made
such a big d 9 to her.
Finally, we reached the bus stop and she made her call. We said our goodbyes and she sent me a
heartwarming m 10 that made me believe in the goodness of humanity. Even though we used technology to
communicate, it was lucky that we could help each other out and not be stopped by our different languages.

Every year, on the second Saturday in September, people celebrate World First Aid Day (世界急救日). It’s a
day to raise people’s awareness about how important first aid is. This year’s theme is First Aid in the Digital
World.
Technology not only help people live more conveniently (便捷地), it can also save lives. People who have
sudden health emergencies like heart attacks (疾病发作) or accidents may lose their lives if they don’t get help
immediately. We can use technology to offer help faster. Let’s look at some technological inventions that are
helping save lives.
Smart app
If someone needs first aid, even if you call an ambulance straight away, you may need to wait a while. There
is often traffic on the roads. Some people in the US made an app called PulsePoint. It invites ordinary people
trained in CPR (心肺复苏术) to use it. The app knows where the users are. If someone needs first aid nearby, a
user will get a message asking them to help.
Magic gel
The gel (凝胶) called Vetigel is magic! It can help someone stop bleeding in just 10 seconds, said the website
Medical Device Network. The gel is made from plants. It can stick to a wound and help seal (密封) it. It was
invented more than 10 years ago but could only be used on animals. Now in the US, according to the law, people
can use it on humans, too. And get this: according to CGTN, the person from the US was only 17 years old when
he invented it!
Flying aid
If people get hurt or need help in hard-to-reach areas, drones (无人机) can be very useful. Because they can
fly, drones can often offer help faster than people. And they can also make helping people safer for rescuers (营救
者) working in dangerous conditions. The drones can have a camera that can watch your health. They can also
carry useful things, like blankets or a life vest (救生衣) to save someone from drowning (溺水).

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Cold, the 24th solar term,
begins this year on Jan 20 and ends on Feb 3.
Major Cold is the last solar term in winter and also the last solar term in the annual lunar calendar. In this
period, people’s lives are changed because of the snow, rain and icy cold weather.
Here are six things you should know about Major Cold.
Cold current
During Major Cold, as the cold current moves southward, the weather is very cold. Although modern
meteorological observation shows that in some regions of China the weather during Major Cold is not colder than
Minor Cold, the lowest temperatures of the whole year still occur in the Major Cold period in some coastal areas.
Eating “dispelling cold cake”
During Major Cold, People in Beijing have a habit of eating “dispelling cold cake”, a kind of rice cake. In
Chinese the word “rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the word “higher in a new year”, which symbolizes
good luck and continual promotion.
Buying sesame straw
Major Cold always coincides with the end of the year in the lunar calendar. In some areas of China, people
always buy sesame straw during this period because of the old saying, “Rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on
the stem.” This saying is used to describe either ever-rising living standards or making steady progress in thought,
studies or skills.
Drinking stewed soup
Residents in Nanjing of Jiangsu Province like to drink stewed soup during Major Cold. They always stew the
aged hen soup with ginseng, matrimony vine and black fungus.
Eating fried spring rolls
In Anqing of Anhui province, people traditionally eat fried spring rolls during Major Cold. The stuffing
inside the spring roll contains meat or vegetables and the flavor can be salty or sweet.
Doing winter sports
In various regions of China, Major Cold is the perfect time for winter sports such as skiing, ice skating and
sledding.
Major Cold
A year is 1 into 24 solar terms, according to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. The last solar term

Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don’t have basic cooking skills, or
are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them — instant noodles (方便面). They offer much more
convenience to our daily life.
In 1958, instant noodles were created by a Japanese businessman, Momofuku Ando. To perfect them, he used
the wheat flour (面粉) to make them taste like traditional Japanese ramen noodles. After that, instant noodles have
been popular around the world.
There are some fun facts about instant noodles. The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters.
In China, the product has almost become a necessity (必需品) for those who travel by train. In Japan, people
thought the first instant noodles were a luxury (奢侈的) product. When they first came to Japanese supermarkets
in 1958, they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of
their best inventions of the 20th century.
Food trends often reflect (反映) changes in society. For instant noodles, as well as many other “instant”
foods, convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.
For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits (压缩饼干) and canned meat because they don’t need
to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables
became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.
In recent years, however, online meal-ordering services have brought challenges to instant foods. Uber Eats
is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Eleme, and Meituan. These services offer not
only convenience but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association,
instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China by 2016.
This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just
simply filling their bellies, experts say.
