When you walk on the street, you may see a lot of Chinese restaurants. Chinese food has been enjoyed in western countries for a long time. To make westerners enjoy Chinese food better, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes.
"One example is the meat, "said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bone(骨头) in China, but people here don't. Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones. "
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters(路透社).
In the past, most western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. "Made in China"has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.
ls there anything strange in the world's high mountains? lf so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? or is it a man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled(困惑) the world for years.
ln 1899, a mountain climber found large footprints(脚印) in the snow in Himalayas. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. Whom did these footprints belong to? Was there anyone taller or stronger than normal people? People were interested in the answers.
In 1925, a mountain climber found large footprints in the Eastern Himalayas. A clinber saw a very large animal standing on two legs from the distance. As he watched, it went away very quickly.
Later, newspapers had new stories about the"something". A mountain climber said he had seen the"snowman"walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it was a very large man.
From then on, more and more stories appeared. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints on Qomolangma. The pictures showed clearly that the"snowman"walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey, but people still didn't know what it was. Someday we nay find out what it is that makes the large footprints.
Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally(感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector(保护者). However, it might seem too dangerous for a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. But what if their child's true love is art or writing, or car repair?
Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children's. But should children always believe what their parent do? But when they get older，they will have different ways of thinking.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. All of them are valuable.
A. However, they are not always the best teachers. B. Books, newspapers and televisions also teach us. C. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. D. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. E. If they love science, they may try to force(强迫) their child to love science, too. |
