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.

( )56.A Bite of China is ______.

Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.

“The letter should be sent next Mother’s Day and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.

Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day.

“Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.

While “future mail” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.

Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged.

Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.

( )61. “Future mail” is a/an ______ way to send your letter.

A. fast B. old C. new D. cheap

( )62．The underlined word “compensate” means ______ in Chinese.

A. 赔偿 B.完成 C. 送达 D.抛弃

( )63．The “future mail” service is popular among ______.

A. junior students B．college students C. young children D. blue-collar workers

( )64．The “future mail” service can help us ______.

A. sign a contract B. express our love and care

C. forget friendship D. understand the meaning of “time” in a wrong way

( )65．You’d better use “future mail” if you want to ______.

A. save money from sending express mail

B. send a birthday gift to your friend quickly

C. talk with your friends about your life freely

D. send a your best wishes to yourself on January 1, 2020

V 阅读短文，根据其内容,完成下列任务。（每小题2分，满分10分）

Everyone wants to become perfect. Unluckily, being perfect may not happen. Here’s some useful advice about how to refuse perfection.

◆No more comparisons

Compared with others, you may feel that you are not perfect. The solution? End your

comparison. No comparing, no pain.

◆Accept your mistakes

When perfection is your goal, mistakes mean failure. Your fear of criticism（批评）may keep you from ①________ risks or trying new things. Nobody is perfect. Take it easy. You needn’t take other’s words seriously.

◆Ask for help

Part of beating perfection is accepting that mistakes are part of human beings. If you don’t

give up, you will be successful one day. You shouldn’t prevent you from asking for help you need to really improve.

◆Don’t judge（评判）yourself

Find a trusted friend, family member or teacher who is not a perfectionist—someone who can

take criticism and has learned from his or her mistakes. Share your goals and achievements with him or her, no matter how small they are.

◆Pay attention to your language

Cut out the words like never, always and should from your self-talk. Carry a notebook and take notes whenever you want to say these words. Realizing this means you’re well on your way to changing them.

The more confidence（自信）you develop, the ②_______ you’ll feel the need to be perfect. And when you give up perfection, happiness can begin right now.
