22、   Welcome to China. We’ll invite you to eat the real Chinese food—dumplings. In China, there’s many different kinds of foods. Some of them are very popular. The real Chinese food is dumplings. Now let’s talk about them, OK?

Everyone in China likes dumplings very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have meat and vegetables in them, others have sugar, eggs and so on. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind.

Usually people make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make them, you can buy them from any supermarket. Then you take them home and eat them with vinegar. 

Spring Festival is very important in China. When it comes, we make dumplings and usually put a coin in one dumpling. If one eats the dumpling with the coin in it, he will be lucky in the year. In the old days, people couldn’t often eat dumplings, because they were very poor. Now our country is becoming stronger and stronger, and our people are richer and richer. We eat them often.

To our surprise, many foreigners also like eating dumplings. But they have problems in making dumplings, so they often go to Chinese restaurants to eat dumplings instead of making them at home.

Now tell me, do you like dumplings? What kind of dumplings do you like best?

【1】In China. the real Chinese food is______

A.noodles B.dumplings

C.mooncakes D.vegetable

【2】The writer likes dumplings with ______best.

23、Years ago I worked at a factory in a small country. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:

“A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost unbearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly（不停地）, and there was sand --- sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote to her parents in Ohio that she couldn’t stand it another minute and was coming home.”

Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father --- just two lines:

Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud; the other saw stars.

The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.

She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and finally wrote a book about it.

The desert hadn’t changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.

A change of attitude could change everything.

After reading the article, I was deep in thought.
