阅读理解。     Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival , or
Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls Yuanxiao
or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating
Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the
Tang and Song periods.
     The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts, sesame (芝麻), osmanthus flowers (桂花), rose petals, sweetened tangerine (橘子)peel, bean
paste, or jujube paste (枣子酱). A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling . The
salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末儿), vegetables or a mixture.
     The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method
followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling,
then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet
or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in
water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling,
which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a
snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.
     The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores
to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.1. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.
B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.
C. Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.
D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.2. Which country does the Lantern Festival come from?A. China
B. South Korea
C. Jin Dynasty
D. Tang and Song periods.3. Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.
  ① make a hole and insert the filling
  ② roll the dough between your hands
  ③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls
  ④ close the hole
  ⑤ prepare some rice flourA. ⑤③②①④
B. ③⑤①②④

editor, You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places: 1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form. Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form. 2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all. 3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their names. 4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang", which means "I love you without consulting", is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular. Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea shared by myself and many others. Fan Yongqian
