Maciek Czastka was born in Lodz, Poland. He came to China several years ago. So far, he has been working in Chengdu for three years.

    "TheBelt and Road Initiative(一带一路的倡议) is meaningful," he said. "Thanks to it, we are offered more chances." The most powerful support for Chengdu to thrive(兴盛) along the Belt and Road is the Chengdu-Europe express railway( 高速铁路). It provides direct train services between Chengdu and the city of Lodz.

    Because of the express railway, trains can bring things from China to Europe. At the same time, they can bring back European food, wine, meat and so on. In 2016, a total of 460 trains ran between Chengdu and Europe. The number is expected to grow to 1,000 this year.

    Since the Chengdu-Lodz express railway was opened, Chengdu, together with other cities in west China, has developed close trade ties with the European country. Poland is one of the largest apple producers in Europe. Czastka's company helps farmers in Poland sell their apples to China. More and more European products will be sent to China in the future.

Dear Henry,

    I'm glad to know you are coming to my house next Sunday. But it is a little difficult to find my house. Go out of the train station, and go down West Street to the north. Don't turn left at the crossing, and just walk straight on. You can see a bus stop near a movie theatre on your left. Take the No. 2 bus there and get off at the fifth stop. Then you are on Garden Street. Go down the street and walk until you see a park. Walk across the park and you can find a bank on your right. My house is opposite the bank. I will meet you at the gate of my house. See you then.

Your friend,

Tom

    What foods are successful? Hamburgers and pizzas are popular. But instant noodles(方便面) have also become a world success. Now instant noodles are celebrating their 61^st birthday!

    Instant noodles were invented by a Japanese named Momofuku Ando. To find a way to make noodles last longer, Ando began experimenting(实验) in 1955 and three years later, he made the first bag of instant noodles. Now, 61 years on, they're eaten all over the world. In fact, they're so popular that Japanese consider instant noodles as their best invention!

    Each year, 95 billion packets of instant noodles are eaten around the world. In the UK, people call instant noodles "pot noodles". University students like them a lot. During the first term at college, you may be given a gift bag that includes instant noodles. Instant noodles are cheap and easy to eat. But watch out! People may think you are lazy if you are an instant noodle lover.

    The UN often sends instant noodles as part of its food aid. This is because of their long life and high fat, which makes people feel full for longer time.

    However, instant noodles aren't totally innocent(无辜的). They are high in fat and salt. Health experts say they are bad for us and we shouldn't eat them too often.
