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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

38、n use till now. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force.

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.
