Waiters will go around table to table carving off pieces onto your plate. Without moving from your table you can experience virtually unlimited dishes until your stomach fails you. 3．

You've
got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer,
loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's
Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 6．
"I often send postcards to family and friends, "he
says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never
receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 7． "Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo
started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the
Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal
service, but Paulo's hunch(直觉) paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website post crossing.
com, a social network that has grown to 575, 217 registered users in 214
countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 8． Running the website has almost turned into a full-time
job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For post crossing
to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone
can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written
in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 9． So a common language is required and in post crossing
that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to
English. 10． That said, we know of many
post crossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their
English skills through their use of post crossing, "Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard
to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of
sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a
connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number
of postcards exchanged by members topped 3 1 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak
only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away. G. In
short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand written note
from someone far away.

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men
wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade，playing a game with large round disks of wood. 16． Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 17． And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player's "king". 18．
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 19． This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that "the Chu River and the Han Boundary" has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. 20．
A. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B. During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C. It is called "the Chu River and the Han Boundary".
D. The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E. There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F. An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G. Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming
For
a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at
home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th
century. Since then, British
TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4,
and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite
and cable.
A
Slow Decline
While
the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has
been slow and has been going on for the past decade. Streaming services have given us
access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of
classic shows and blockbuster movies.
Changing
Viewing Habits
In
the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming
services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26
minutes per day respectively.
Still
the King
For
example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41
minutes per day, more than any streaming service.
Average
viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though,
despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these
organisations.
While
the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself
doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.
A. This has been the trend
for the last couple of decades.
B. The original content has
included massively popular shows.
C. Suddenly, we were able to
see what was going on, not just listen along.
D. The traditional TV
channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.
E. Most major TV channels
have their own catch up streaming service.
F. While demand for streaming
services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall.
G. Today, we have the power
to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.

Most of us in China are used to paying for
everything with our phones. At least, this was the
case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with
Chinese payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts
at a street stall (货摊) in Shanghai and saw other
customers show their phones and take the nuts without giving cash. It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile
payments. Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash
in Singapore.
According to Xinhua News
Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists,
with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over
200. It's now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist
destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a
huge department store in New York.
Mobile payments are now a normal part of life
in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations. According to Forrester
Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 per cent in 2016.
This may be partly because western mobile
payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before
customers can use them.
A. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.
B. Foreign tourists don't like to pay with their mobile phones.
C. But in China, all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.
D. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using WeChat
Pay.
E. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater
than those in the US.
F. But for foreign visitors who aren't familiar with this method,
it may seem strange.
G. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some
foreign companies to accept them.

When it comes to Brazil, you will recall the exciting football game and the Samba. 1． It is considered the state banquet (国宴). It has a unique flavor for it has absorbed the essence of Portuguese, African and Indian food, and has all the traditions and elements of an American Barbecue.
Originally the formula for Brazilian style barbecue was to roast the whole cattle or sheep strung on the branch. And the meat is cut into pieces to eat with a knife when cooked. Later the style has changed since the coming of the European civilization. 2．
A salt-water baste is used to keep meats properly wet during the cooking. Beef is typically never seasoned. Lamb, however, is spiced with a rich sauce the night before cooking. And they are cooked on long sword-like skewers (烤肉叉) over the fire with fattier items placed on top so that the juices will drip down and flavor the other cuts. Waiters will go around table to table carving off pieces onto your plate. Without moving from your table you can experience virtually unlimited dishes until your stomach fails you. 3．
4． The difference lies in ingredients and eating habits. Korean barbecue is mainly made of pork, beef and mutton. When served, the meat is dipped in some onions, sesame oil and Korean sauce and wrapped with lettuce, so that meat with vegetables is eaten together. 5． It's typical thumb-sized meat is smoked on a grill with charcoal (木炭).

You've
got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer,
loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's
Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 6．
"I often send postcards to family and friends, "he
says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never
receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 7． "Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo
started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the
Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal
service, but Paulo's hunch(直觉) paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website post crossing.
com, a social network that has grown to 575, 217 registered users in 214
countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 8． Running the website has almost turned into a full-time
job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For post crossing
to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone
can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written
in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 9． So a common language is required and in post crossing
that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to
English. 10． That said, we know of many
post crossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their
English skills through their use of post crossing, "Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard
to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of
sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a
connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number
of postcards exchanged by members topped 3 1 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak
only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away. G. In
short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand written note
from someone far away.

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men
wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade，playing a game with large round disks of wood. 16． Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 17． And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player's "king". 18．
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 19． This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that "the Chu River and the Han Boundary" has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. 20．
A. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B. During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C. It is called "the Chu River and the Han Boundary".
D. The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E. There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F. An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G. Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming
For
a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at
home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th
century. Since then, British
TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4,
and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite
and cable.
A
Slow Decline
While
the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has
been slow and has been going on for the past decade. Streaming services have given us
access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of
classic shows and blockbuster movies.
Changing
Viewing Habits
In
the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming
services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26
minutes per day respectively.
Still
the King
For
example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41
minutes per day, more than any streaming service.
Average
viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though,
despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these
organisations.
While
the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself
doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.
A. This has been the trend
for the last couple of decades.
B. The original content has
included massively popular shows.
C. Suddenly, we were able to
see what was going on, not just listen along.
D. The traditional TV
channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.
E. Most major TV channels
have their own catch up streaming service.
F. While demand for streaming
services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall.
G. Today, we have the power
to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.

I came to Russia to study in the winter of 2021. My university is located in Moscow, the capital of Russia, which is a city with a long history.
The second I stepped out of the airport, I immediately felt how cold it was outside. 32． When I saw the main building of Moscow State University, I was deeply shocked by its beautiful architecture with its 270-year-long history. Sensing how utterly small I was in front of this majestic building, I felt the crystallization (结晶) of human wisdom resonate within me.
33． The snow and ice won't melt until April of the following year. Just like the melting snow, I gradually overcame the difficulties of studying abroad and came to adjust to my new environment.
The first challenge was the language barrier After leaning Russian in China, I realized that my skills were nowhere near enough. I was not fluent in Russian, sometimes causing misunderstandings. 34． In Russia, everyone intentionally stands on the right side when taking the escalator, which takes time to get used to.
The artistic atmosphere in Russia is very strong, however. 35． Tickets for concerts and cultural events here are relatively cheap, making it easy to enrich my life on weekends.
In a nutshell, living abroad means overcoming all kinds of difficulties. The experience will always leave a colorful shade in our lives. Just as the old saying in Chinese goes, "it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books." 36．
A. Take a look at the outside world while you are young!
B. Obviously, the freezing climate does not agree with me.
C. The cultural differences were also hard to deal with at first.
D. I can visit many of the attractions that I used to see in my textbooks.
E. And the buildings surrounding me looked so different from the ones in China.
F. Staring from early November each year, the snow season in Moscow is very long.
G. Thanks to the abundant activities I get to explore what I've learned in practical contexts.

Food is a deeply rooted expression of identity, values and ways of life. 37． That is, eating is an element of common ground in terms of human existence and an experience that brings people together. Food is family treasure in the way recipes are passed on from one generation to another, maintaining family connection and cultural and geographical ancestral links.
Food is an expression. What we cook is an expression of who we are and where we come from. 38． The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. Every destination has a dish or cuisine associated with it, which is fixed on culture and identity.
You may not know it, but that is why experiencing the local dishes of a new place usually tops one's to do list in a foreign land. 39． It is one of the interactions and processes of connecting with the people.
Food is symbolic. Home is where the heart is and in sensory response to food, familiar flavor arouses homesickness. 40． The ordinary smell of food takes one back to particular times in the past. The beautiful and merry essence of eating with family and friends from home adds to the pleasant tastes of meals.
41． Food and food habits serve as a culture channel of display of affection and emotional association and the sharing of delicious, nutritional food signals a bridge of closeness and acceptance.
A. Accepting food is hard.
B. Eating food is a universal experience.
C. Food is largely cultural as well as nutritional.
D. Food is therefore a reminder of fond memories of home.

Most of us in China are used to paying for
everything with our phones. At least, this was the
case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with
Chinese payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts
at a street stall (货摊) in Shanghai and saw other
customers show their phones and take the nuts without giving cash. It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile
payments. Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash
in Singapore.
According to Xinhua News
Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists,
with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over
200. It's now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist
destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a
huge department store in New York.
Mobile payments are now a normal part of life
in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations. According to Forrester
Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 per cent in 2016.
This may be partly because western mobile
payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before
customers can use them.
A. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.
B. Foreign tourists don't like to pay with their mobile phones.
C. But in China, all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.
D. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using WeChat
Pay.
E. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater
than those in the US.
F. But for foreign visitors who aren't familiar with this method,
it may seem strange.
G. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some
foreign companies to accept them.
