Edgar Snow was an American reporter. He is best known {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his books and articles on Communism(共产主义) in China and the Chinese Communist revolution(革命). 

Snow came to China in 1928. He spent over 10 years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(travel) around China and trying to understand its people. At the same time, he tried to show {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he learnt to the rest of the world. For example, Red Star Over China, a book came out in the 1930s. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(know) as the first book that introduced China's revolution to the West. Many Westerners were introduced to the Party through {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(he) book. Norman Bethune, a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(Canada) doctor, came to China after reading Snow's book. He worked hard to save the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(life) of Chinese soldiers during the World War Ⅱ. 

"When the whole world had forgotten us, Snow cam e to see us {#blank#}8{#/blank#} told the world what had happened. We will remember Snow's great help to China forever, " Chairman Mao said during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} interview to a German reporter. 

Snow's spirit is still needed now, as well as in the future, according to People's Daily. No writer has spoken more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(strong) about Sino-US relations than Edgar Snow, And no matter the era, people around the world always need some sort of link, " the paper said.

Old wives' tales are pieces of advice that are supposed to solve common problems such as the medical ones or some problems at home. They are usually passed down through talking,and there are only a few having been written down. Some of them sound ridiculous and have no scientific meaning at all,just like jokes,while others are more reasonable,which are realized to be true. 

Often,old wives' tales take the form of warnings and are a way to prevent poor behavior in children. For example, "Eating candy before bedtime brings you bad dreams" is a common old wives' tale that was probably thought up to stop children from eating too many unhealthy snacks. Similarly, "If you've been lying,your nose will be longer" is a trick trying to get naughty children to tell the truth. 

Other old wives' tales want to give advice about how to keep away from illnesses. "If you go outside with wet hair,you'll catch a cold" is an old wives' tale that's still commonly heard today. However,colds are not caused by cold weather or wet hair. Instead,they are caused by viruses (病毒). 

"Feed a cold,starve a fever" means that you should eat plenty of food when you have a cold,but not eat when you have a fever. This piece probably comes from the fact that people with a fever usually lose their appetite (胃口) anyway. Medical science has found that the body stops eating much when you have a fever because little food makes your immune system (免疫系统) fight bacterial infections (细菌感染),while eating a little more makes your immune system fight against viruses,like colds. 

There are hundreds of old wives' tales. Although there may be truth in a few of them,if you bear one,it's best not to take it too seriously.
