Eight Treasures of Laba

Laba Porridge  (腊八粥) is known to every Chinese. It marks a special day. Laba Festival, which falls on the 8th day of the 12th lunar (农历的) month.
People eat Laba Porridge on that day. The porridge is also called "Eight Treasures Porridge", because it usually has at least eight things. Rice, beans, dried fruits and peanuts are very popular in the porridge.
On the night before the festival, mothers are busy preparing their porridge. They cook it over a slow fire from midnight until
the next morning. When kids wake up in the morning, they smell the aroma  (香味) and rush to the kitchen to have a feast.
Another custom on Laba Festival is to prepare Laba vinegar  (醋) for dumplings on Spring Festival Eve. People peel garlic (蒜) and put it into a jar filled with vinegar. As the days go by, the garlic turns green and gains a special flavor. Some people also like to Pickle  (腌) meat on Laba Festival.
Laba Festival was a time for the ancient Chinese to pray for the harvest and good luck in the coming year  After Taba Festival  many people start to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Do you know HFMD? It’s short for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This year, in China, thousands of children were suffering from it. What’s HFMD? How to prevent it? Now, read the passage please.
HFMD usually affects babies who are 1~4 years old, but adults can also be infected. Both EV71 and Cox A16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters (水泡) and ulcers (溃疡) in the mouth and rashes (皮疹) on the hands and feet.
It can be spread through people with the mucus (唾液) or feces (粪便) of an infected person. It usually appears during the summer and autumn months. HFMD isn’t Bird Flu, SARS or Mad Cow Disease, but it’s not a new one, either. It first appeared in New Zealand in 1957. About forty years later, it appears in Asia. It’s reported that it breaks out every 2 or 3 years.
HFMD is very terrible and there is no vaccine (疫苗) now, but we can do something helpful to prevent it. ‘Children with HFMD should seek medical treatment as early as possible’, experts say. They also suggest that parents keep the air fresh in a child’s room, which should be kept clean, tidy and dry. Children should be taught to wash their hands regularly. Staying away from crowded public places is also basic.
