Zang Chaiyua
18、n, 26, pastry chef started to create different rabbit-shaped huabobo, a flowerlike steamed bun, with a history dating back more than 300 years. “Rabbits are cute, and I can create many products inspired by rabbits,” she says, “People like this skill that combines (兼具) traditional Chinese culture. Si
19、nce December, the number of online orders has doubled, and some want to learn to make them for their loved ones. So I host online and on-site pastry courses to show how to make them.” Wu Yang, 35, a pastry chef, is popular because of his creativity in making the 3D lion-head puff pastry. It involves
20、 six steps and each step includes a very complex process. If one tiny mistake is made in any step, then the final product fails. To achieve the vivid effect of the hair on the lion head after deep-frying, Wu has to cut 160 times on the tiny dough (生面团) without cutting it through. By combining tradit
21、ional Chinese culture with his works, Wu hopes that he can attract more young people to find interest in Chinese pastry. Wang Zhiqiang, 74, master chef known as the “king of pastry, is constantly creating new products. In 1972, Wang designed a dish for a state banquet (国宴). Over the next 10 years, h
22、e created and perfected mianguo, or flour-based fruits.

A large dinner party is being given by an official and his wife. The guests are local famous people and an Ameri
26、can scientist. At one side of the long table a young girl and a colonel (上校) have a heated discussion. The girl insists women have made great progress and they are not as timid as before. The colonel says women always scream loudly and cant control their deeds when theres something dangerous. The ot
27、her men at the table agree with him. The American scientist doesnt join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. Suddenly he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, the muscles of her face contracting (收缩) slightly. With
28、a small gesture she calls the native boy standing behind and whispers to him. The boys eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else except the American sees this. The American doesnt realize there is a snake in the room until the boy puts a bowl of milk outside the glass door. Where
29、 is the snake? He looks around and finds out there is only one placeunder the table. He wants to jump back and warns the others, but he knows such actions will frighten the snake and it will strike. He speaks quickly, “I want to know what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundre
30、d and not one of you is to move.”The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. In the process of counting he sees the snake make for the bowl of milk. It is a cobra (眼镜蛇). Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to shut the door. “You certainly were right, Colonel!” the host says aloud. A m
31、an has just shown us an example of real control.”“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to the hostess, “theres one thing Id like to know.

35、oes have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail. There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man.” (“故天将降大任于是/斯人也”). Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, P
36、eoples Education Press (PEP), a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi. Supporters of si feel shocked and say theyve experienced the “Mandela Effect”the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didnt. Many p
37、eople believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013. US researchers Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon, coining the term (术语) which has been i
38、n use till now. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of
39、it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel badthis is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. The internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science journal publ
40、ished a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds. 34. Why does the writer mention the

By presenting reasons. D. By drawing conclusions. 37. What can we infer from the passage? A. Most people kno
43、w the former South African president Mandela well. B. The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP. C.
