A Bite of China

Are you an eating﹣lover？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China？It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV．Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture．They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries．Since noodles mean long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut it off

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness．In fact，at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last，pointed towards the most valued guest．Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi．This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat，peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves．The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man，Qu Yuan in Chinese history．

Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future？While express mail（快递） is a fast way to send your letters，there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business﹣future mail．

"The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier! "Lin Xiaofan，a college student in Shanghai，tells one of the companies offering the service．

Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day．

"Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of‘time' in another way，"said Zheng Zhimin，manager at a "future mail" company．Zheng thinks "future mail" letters help remind us of care，friendship and love．

While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular，some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive．

Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract（签订合同） to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged．

Most of the customers are college students and young white﹣collar（白领） workers．Psychologists （心理学家） said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service．Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection（联系） between the past and the present when they receive the letter．

Save the world's trees

"When it comes to the Earth，there is no time to waste．"says the Earth Day Network．And that is right．Protecting our environment is very important，and World Earth Day was created in 1970to ask more people to protect our environment．On April 22，people around the world celebrate Earth Day．

Every year there is a special topic，and this year it is "Trees for the Earth"，so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees．They are planning to plant 7.8billion trees within the next five years

That's a big goal，and you might wonder why trees are so important．Because they can take in carbon dioxide （CO₂） and protect the air quality（质量）．CO₂is a chemical in our atmosphere，but humans make too much of it．Each person makes about 2.3tons a year，which is bad for the environment．

Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees．Last year，there were 3trillion trees in the world，about 139billion in China．But according to China Daily，the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization（文明） began．That's because 15billion trees are cut down every year．

So we need to plant more to make up for（弥补）the ones we lost．One tree can take in 21.8kilograms of CO₂ per year．And   it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO₂．

But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy（能源） or water we use every day．Every little thing helps．

根据短文内容，回答问题（66﹣69），英译汉（70）．

66．When do people around the world celebrate World Earth Day？

67．What is the topic of Earth Day？

68．Why are trees so important to the earth？

69．How much CO₂ can two trees take in each year？

70．Put the sentence "It's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO₂．"into Chinese．

If you are interested in something，it will be easy for you to pay a　　 to it for a long time．

In Hubei Province，the temperature changes g　　，so the clothes people wear in each season are very different．

If people follow the traffic rules，there will be f　　 accidents on the road．

Up to now I have read a lot of books，such as magazines，novels and storybooks．But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life．It was （82）　　 by American writer Helen Keller in 1902．She was a blind，deaf and dumb person．In the book，she wrote that she had not been able to see，hear or speak （83）　　 she was one year and seven months old．This unusual thing made her very （84）　　．Luckily，she met her good teacher，Miss Sullivan （85）　　 the age of seven．Helen was getting happier every day．Then，Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words．At first，Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again．Helen was a very （86）　　girl．She tried as much as possible to remember words．After that，she wrote many famous works．The Story of My Life is one of （87）　　．

The Story of My Life describes her hard struggle（奋斗） to（88）　　 a good writer and educationist of the world．
