19.BELJLNG-Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners,and particularly when they get the chance to order"chicken without sex life"or"red burned lion head".
Sometimes excited but mostly confused,embarrassed or even terrified,many foreigners have long complained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes.And their complaints are often valid,but such an experience at Beijing's restaurants will apparently soon be history.
Foreign visitors will no longer,hopefully,be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government's plan to correctly translate 3,000Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted.
The municipal(市政)office of foreign affairs has published a book to recommend English translations of Chinese dishes,which aims to help restaurants avoid bizarre translations.It provides the names of main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,"an official with the city's Foreign Affairs office said."Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations,but it will not be compulsory."It's the city's latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China.
Coming up with precise translations is a daunting  task,as some Chinese culinary(烹飪的)techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English-language equivalent.The translators,after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English-speaking countries,divided the dish names into four categories:ingredients,cooking method,taste and name of a person or a place.For some traditional dishes,pinyin,the Chinese phonetic system,is used,such as mapo tofu (previously often literally translated as"beancurd made by woman with freckles"),baozi (steamed stuffed bun ) and jiaozi (dumplings) to"reflect the Chinese cuisine culture,"according to the book.
"The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me.Having it,I don't have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travellers,"said Zheng Xiaodong,a 31-year-old employee with a Beijing-based travel agency.
"I will buy the book as I major in English literature and I'd like to introduce Chinese cuisine culture to more foreign friends,"said Han Yang,a postgraduate student at the University of International Business and Economics.
It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China.But on Tuesday,this was the most discussed topic on weibo.com,China's most popular microblogging site.

14.Six volunteers are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars without ever leaving the Earth.Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special place on the side of a volcano in Hawaii.They are part of an experiment that is designed to mimic(模仿)life on Mars.Their mission began on October 15,2014.
NASA says it could send astronauts to Mars as early as the 2030s.The mission would take more than two years,so NASA needs to know how people would react to living in a small group,isolated from the rest of the world,for such a long time.Some people may become depressed or bored living under those conditions.By studying people living in similar conditions here on Earth,NASA hopes to learn how to choose the most suitable people for a space mission,and how to help them get along.
They will live in a two-story building.The ground floor is about 86square meters,roughly the size of a small two-bedroom apartment.It includes shared areas like kitchen,dining room,bathroom,laboratory and an exercise room.The upstairs is less than half the size of the downstairs.It contains another bathroom and six small bedrooms.The building is located in an abandoned quarry(采石場)about 2,400meters up the side of Mauna Loa,the second biggest volcano in the world.It is constantly monitored for signs of volcanic activity.NASA chose the location because the appearance looks very similar to Mars.
To make it more like being on Mars in the future,they are only able to communicate by email during the experiment.Meanwhile,there will be a 20-minute delay between the time when a message is sent and that when it is received.When they go outside,they will have to suit up in full spacesuits,just as if they were on Mars.
The commander is Martha Lenio,a 34-year-old Canadian.During the mission,she will run experiments on growing food.The other members have backgrounds in physics and so on.None of them are astronauts.

24.When will the six volunteers end their mission about mimicking life on Mars?A
A.On June 15,2015.         B.On October 15,2015.
C.On October 15,2030.      D.On June 15,2032.
25.What's the main purpose of the experiment?B
A.To monitor signs of volcanic activity.
B.To prepare for a space mission to Mars.
C.To train the six people to become astronauts.
D.To study the difference between men and women.
26.Mauna Loa was chosen as the experimental site becauseC.
A.it is located near a rocket base
B.other people can hardly find the location
C.its landscape is so much like that of Mars
D.it is a safe place to conduct the experiment
27.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Martha is a famous expert on agriculture.
B.The six volunteers will be sent to Mars in 2030.
C.All the experimental activities are done in doors.
D.It takes about 40minutes to get a reply to an email.

9.Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.Every waking moment,the eyes are working to see the world around us.Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight,but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes.Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
•Schedule yearly exams.(16)BExperts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age  to the doctor for a careful check.The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment,including eyeglasses.
•Protect against UV rays (紫外線).Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes.No matter what the season is,it's extremely important to wear sunglasses.(17)C•Give your eyes a break.Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.(18)G  Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule:every 20minutes,take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away.
•(19)AAs part of a healthy diet,eat more fruits and vegetables each day.Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隱形眼鏡).Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses,many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.(20)FOtherwise,you may have problems such as red eyes,pain in the eyes,or a more serious condition.

A.Eat your greens.
B.Eye care should begin early in life.
C.They can properly protect your eyes.
D.Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E.Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.
