根据短文内容回答问题


Dear Mike,

      I'm so glad you're coming to China! Your mother,our foreign English teacher,told me you're worried about what you should and shouldn't do as a guest in China.Here's some advice.You will probably be invited to a big meal. You may find it earlier than you expect because Chinese people eat dinner much earlier than people in the West.There will be a lot of different dishes,not just three courses.You may find it difficult to use chopsticks if you haven't tried before.It's a good idea to get some practice.When the food is served,you should take time to look at it. The preparation takes a long time and everything will look beautiful.The plates will be placed in the middle of the table,for everyone to share.Take a little of everything and then have some more of the things you like.Chinese people like to talk about food,so it's a good topic of conversation.At the end of the meal,you will usually be served with fruit.Eat your fruit,thank your friends, and go.

      I hope this is helpful.E-mail me if you have any other questions. 

                                                                                                                              Yours,

                                                                                                                                   David Zhang

It may surprise you to know that at every Olympic Games, some sports are added and others taken away. For example, did you know that tug- of- war was once an Olympic sport? It was dropped long ago though. In London2012, women's boxing was added. In Rio 2016, golf and rugby sevens were included. Baseball and softball were dropped after Beijing 2008. but returned for Tokyo 2020. Another sport that got approyed for Tokyo 2020 was climbing. One sport that isn't on the list of Olympic Games, is trampoline dodgeball(蹦床躲避球). Both climbing and trampoline dodgeball are popular with teens. That's because you don't need to invest in lots of expensive equinment. The following is more related information about them.

Dodgeball is a team game in which players throw balls at each other. The objective is to beat the opposing team's players by hitting them with a ball, catching a ball( the thrower is out), or forcing a player out of the court. In trampoline dodgeball, the game is the same but takes place on a court made out of trampolines. The court has a bouncy floor and high bouncy walls. It's surrounded by nets to catch the balls. The action is fast and fun, and you'll always have a soft landing if you fall!

When might trampoline dodgeball be an Olympic sport? Nobody knows! New sports must fulfil many strict rules before they're accepted. For example, trampoline dodgeball will need to have one set of rules that everyone follows. This includes playing in the same- sized court using the same type of ball.

Scientists have found that plants can make sounds. 

A scientist, Lily Hadany, and her team recorded(录制) tomato plants at different times. It showed that the plants made ultrasonic(超声波) sounds. People could only hear them with the help of a computer. They were noises like clicking(发出咔嗒声) sounds. 

As scientists studied the sounds, they began to find some interesting facts. Plants made different sounds at different time. They seldom clicked when they had enough water, but when they needed water, they clicked more and more. Scientists also found that plants made sounds when they got hurt. When scientists cut off a leaf from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But this kind of clicking wasn't the same as when the plants needed water. 

Some scientists designed a computer AI system to tell the different kinds of clicking sounds. It was able to find the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts. It means that one day we may be able to use these sounds to figure out when it is in difficult time, and what problem it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers. 

The team's finding changes our ideas about plants. As Dr Hadany says, "Even in a quiet field, there are sounds made by plants, and those sounds carry information and may help us a lot. "
