A Bite of China

Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.

    We're sitting too much and it's dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be. Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day—anywhere, even at the workplace—to improve your health.

    Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.

    This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.

    Get up and move around the office once every 60~90 minutes.

    When you're busy with work, it's easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind you to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.

    Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.

    Go to your co-workers' office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an email every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.

    Use your lunch break to move around outside.

    So many Americans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage of this time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make you keep a clear mind.

    Here is a menu for a fast-food restaurant. The prices are in American money, called dollars and cents. There are 100 cents in a dollar.
