    Many musicians meet and form a band(乐队)because they like to write and play their own music.They may start as a group of high school students and practise their music in someone's house.Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or underground so that they can get some money for themselves or pay for their instruments(乐器).

    However,there was one band that started in a different way.It was called the Monkees and was formed in 1965.It began as a TV show.The TV show had planned to find four rock musicians who could act as well as sing.But they could only find one who was good enough.They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.

    Since some of these actors could not sing well enough,they had to ask for help from other musicians.So at first,the band just pretended(假装)to sing.Anyway,their performances(演出)were excellent and they got lots of fans.Each week on TV,the Monkees would pretend to play and sing songs written by other musicians.After a year or so,they became more serious about their work.They started to play and sing their own songs like a real band.Then they produced(制作)their own records and started touring and playing their own music.In the US they became even more influential and popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.

    However,the band broke up around 1970.But happily they reunited(重聚)in the 1980s.They produced a new record in 1996 to celebrate their time as a band.It was very successful.Today the Monkees are still making music for their millions of fans.

 "The best mianshi lies in China and the best Chinese mianshi lies in Shanxi." Can you imagine that in North China's Shanxi Province, there are over 280 kinds of mianshi, or cooked wheaten (小麦的) food?

Shanxi people's love for mianshi is closely connected to the local natural conditions. The dry weather on mountains and plateaus (高原) makes it a good place for growing wheat. Therefore, as time passing by, Shanxi people not only developed an eating habit for mianshi, but also invented different ways of cooking wheaten food.

Among the many Shanxi manshi, the sliced (刀削的) noodle is the most famous one. It is sliced with a special knife. When making it, the cook needs to hold hand. The length and thickness of each sliced noodle are required to be the same. Experienced cooks can even turn the way of slicing noodle into an excellent show. They can slice 200 noodles in one minute, and make sure each noodle falls exactly into the soup pot 1.5 meters away.

In Chinese food culture, people like to give special meanings to the food. For example, they would have a bowl of Changshoumian on their birthday, carrying good wishes for health and long life. In many places, the tradition is to serve jiaozi to a person leaving home, and noodles to a person returning home, as both food have their own important meaning.

Well, seeing all these Chinese mianshi, do you feel enjoyable? Would you like to have a try?

 The Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation (PPIE), an organization in America, was started in 1987 to raise money for local schools. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(最近), it hosted a running event for the community. To date, it has raised $1 million for the school district.
