    There are millions of recipes(菜谱) hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents. These family recipes are a special part of our family history. Some of them have been passed down from generation(一代人) to generation.

    "I realized I couldn't go home every weekend for my mom's delicious dishes," says Shreya, who is about to enter university. Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her "masala chai" and tasty kachoris.

    "Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions, memories and feelings of family, love, and comfort," says she.

    She adds, "I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked."

    But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.

    Actually, there are simple ways to keep family recipes, Scrapbooks (剪贴薄) are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe. With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans, recording family recipes has never been easier. What is needed is to scan (扫描) the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.

    Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?

(1)、Why does Shreya follow her mother around the kitchen?
A、To clean up the kitchen. B、To note down recipes. C、To prepare family dinners. D、To talk about family rules.

You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change - and he's inviting bikers to join him. 

Daan Ronscgaarde. 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾)Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path. 

Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike - sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air - cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face. 

It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物) to cover areas of China. 

In 2016, only one - fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection " 

Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem, " Daan said. " But smog - free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities. "

Festival means having a great time for fun. Every country has its own way of celebrating festivals. Here are some interesting festivals in the world. 

Pamplona Bull(公牛) Run

If you want to experience running in front of the bull, you can plan your visit to Spain to join in their amazing festival. Every year this festival is celebrated during July. Anyone who is above 18 can go and enjoy this festival. 

Konaki Sumo Fest

Every year, this festival is celebrated during April in Japan. In this festival, Sumo Wrestlers(相扑运动员) hold babies in their hands and face off each other to see whose baby will cry first. This festival is perfect for someone who loves sumo wrestlers and babies. 

Holi, Vrindavan

The Holi Festival is also known as the festival of colors. It is an ancient Hindu festival. It starts with a bonfire (篝火) on the night before Holi. The next day is a day of colors. Everyone celebrates it by throwing colors and water to each other. Every year it is celebrated in India during March. 

Gol den Retriever(金毛寻回犬) Festival

Each summer in Scotland, usually around July, hundreds of golden retrievers get together in the country. The festival includes different games and competitions for golden retrievers and their human friends. With a big picnic of delicious Scottish food and group training classes, it is just a happy place to be.
