“Just ate chicken feet for lunch. ” These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday. By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends. They ranged from “OH MY GOD! That is so disgusting! ” to “What were they like?” to “Why can’t you eat sandwiches like everyone else?”
To Chinese people, chicken feet are a normal snack. To my friends in Britain, the thought of eating a chicken’s foot is——well, weird (古怪的). As weird, in fact, as eating a bullfrog, scorpion(蝎子), snake, or turtle.
But if there are two things I love more than anything else in life, they are: trying new things and food.
I arrived in Beijing five months ago. Since then, I’ve searched for the “weirdest” foods so I can try them, then treat my friends to some “virtual（虚拟的）eating” on my blog.
One weekend, I went to Wangfujing, Beijing’s “snack street”. The trip gave me tons of blog material.
“I chose a stick with three live, wriggling(扭动的) scorpions on it,” I wrote. “And it was pretty good. The scorpion was warm and crispy. The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one’s teeth, however. What’s more, I am sure scorpion number two stung me with its tail in revenge(报复).”
Next came snake: “A bit like a cross between fish and chicken, with a slightly rubbery texture and meaty taste.”
Some people were actually angry when I ate turtle soup——especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy’s head staring sadly up at us from the bowl. “I am never speaking to you again,” wrote one (former) friend.
Still, I will continue my culinary quest.
Next on my list is starfish, though I feel I should have some vegetables too——algae, maybe.
So what am I eating, tonight, you may ask. Pizza. Well, a girl’s gotta have a break sometimes.

4.Which of the following “weirdest” foods is the one writer hasn’t tried?

Now I’d like to share with my plan for the summer holiday.
Recently I’ve became interested in some attractive camps advertising in a website . I have made up my mind to take part in one of it: Volunteering in Another Country. I have always dreamed of being a volunteer, because I would like to offer necessary help to those who needs it.
Beside, volunteering in another country will certainly give me good chance to experience a completely different culture. Most important, I can exchange ideas freely with the local people or get them to know more about China.
I’m eager to join in the activity and I’m sure I will benefit greatly by such an opportunity. How about your plan for this summer?

Valentine’s Day, a day traditionally reserved for expressing romantic love, is observed practically all around the world. However, not many people are familiar with Sweetest Day. Actually it is a holiday, especially designed to express love and care for those who were routinely neglected（忽视）by society.
Sweetest Day was the idea of Herbert Birch Kingston, who worked for a company in Cleveland, Ohio. He felt that there were plenty of children, especially orphans and poor kids, who didn’t necessarily get the attention they deserved. Thus in 1922, he launched the first Sweetest Day to give out boxes of candy to mainly poor children.
Since the day picked was the third Saturday in October, this became the traditional time to celebrate Sweetest Day. The tradition was so enjoyed that people often looked beyond kindness to treating their own friends or family to treats on Sweetest Day.
In the US, Sweetest Day is celebrated primarily in the Northeastern region of the US, still on the third Saturday of October. Yet news of the tradition, which began nearly 100 years ago, has spread to other parts of the country, especially as people who lived in those areas moved elsewhere. People may distribute candy or small gifts to those in patient homes, hospitals, foster homes, or mental institutions, and they may also treat friends and family to little gifts from the heart.
In keeping with the original tradition, celebrating Sweetest Day should really be most focused on people who ordinarily don’t have the good fortune of attention from friends or family, either due to difficult family circumstances or to poverty. This can be a great tradition to start if your community doesn’t routinely celebrate the day, and there are many candy manufacturers that are willing to help donate or reduce costs on gifts intended for people in unfortunate circumstances.
1.The original purpose of Sweetest Day is to ________.
A. provide an occasion to know orphans
B. make those poor children happy
C. make your friends and family happy
D. distribute candy to those lovely children
2.What do people barely do on Sweetest Day?
A. Buy flowers for your sweetheart.
B. Visit patients who have to be in hospital.
C. Give friends gifts to make them happy.
D. Care for children who lost their parents.
3.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. it is vital to contact the candy manufacturers
B. it is necessary to call on friends or families
C. it is important to help those in need
D. it is common to serve your community
