"The best mianshilies in China and the best Chinese mianshilies 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 mianshiis 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 mianshi, the sliced (削的) noodle is the most famous one. It is a noodle made with a special knife. When making it, the cook needs to hold the dough (生面团) with one hand, while fast slicing the noodles into the soup pot with the other 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 Changshoumianon their birthdays, carrying good wishes for health and long life. In many places, the tradition is to serve jiaozito a person leaving home, and noodles to a person returning home, as both foods have their own important meanings.
Well, seeing all these Chinese mianshi, do you feel enjoyable? Would you like to have a try?

Every year thousands of students leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. What they learn during this time does not come from books. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several programs that help students to gain (获得) the experience they are looking for.
Country | Job | Time | Activities |
India | Teaching young children | Two months | * Teaching music and art * Helping children to learn how to communicate |
Ghana | Health care worker | Three months | * Seeing how doctors work in a less developed country * Helping care for sick people |
Thailand | Saving elephants | Three weeks | * Caring for elephants * Helping train elephants |
One interesting program is saving elephants in Thailand. Most people think of elephants as animals in zoos or circuses. However, many elephants are no longer kept in captivity (囚禁). Now, hundreds of them are homeless. These gentle animals are often found on the streets because they do not have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don't have enough food to eat.
One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It provides a safe and natural living space for them. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help there. The students work with the elephant keepers and help then a train elephants. These keepers teach the students how to care for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the center. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.
When you study, the first thing to consider is whether you understand the information, and the second is how you will remember it. Some of you probably think you know all about that, right? After all, you have been studying for years. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The advice is for all of you.
First of all, have a plan. You can make a plan for a week or for a longer time. If you' re studying for an important exam, you should make a long-term plan. And you need to check if it works from time to time. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Next, think about your environment. Make sure the place for studying is comfortable with enough light and fresh air, not too hot or too cold. If you think you do it better with music, you can put some music on and see if it's true. Some people work better with music playing. But for many people, it can make it harder to concentrate (集中注意力).
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}You can plan your study time in periods ( 时 间 段 ) with breaks in between. Some Experts recommend ( 推 荐 ) you to take a10-minute break after 30 minutes of studying. If you study for too long without a break, your mind won't work as well as before. During your short break, you can treat yourself to something like green tea, but I wouldn't suggest chocolate because sugar can make it harder to concentrate.
Finally, think about what you do when you' re studying. Some people just read through their books and mark important parts with a pencil. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} However, I suggest writing notes while studying because it helps your mind process(处理) the information better!
A. If that works for you, then great! B. Then, take breaks while studying. C. If it doesn't, adjust your plan in time. D. But there's always room for improvement. E. Third, look through your notes before exams. |
