Luxiang looks more beautiful in spring, with many tea trees and fruit gardens. This place is famous for the tea called Biluochun.

The Egyptian pyramids were built around 2560 BC. The largest one of them is the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The King, Khufu, built it as his tomb.

The word “chicken” is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following? Don't count your chickens before they hatch

The expression “Don't count your chickens before they hatch” means “Don't expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Don't depend on things working out just as you want them to”. This saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop's Fables.

A chicken?and?egg situation

In history, philosophers(哲学家) and scientists have met this dilemma(困境): Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken?and?egg situation” means a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.

Don't be such a chicken

There seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that's not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Don't be such a chicken” means “Don't be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if your friend fear to do something, you can say to him or her, “Don't be such a chicken. Just have a try!”

China was once known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. Now, a young US man, David Wang, living in Beijing is using pieces of bamboo to replace(代替) parts of bicycles.

Two years ago, David opened the Bamboo Bicycle Beijing workshop in Langjia hutong. They cut and shape bamboo into bicycle frames(构架). After connecting the pieces with special glue, they join wheels and other parts together.

After graduating from university, David came to China to continue his study. He has lived in China for more than 6 years and loves the city's ancient hutongs. However, he found people threw old bicycles everywhere in hutongs. “Beijing is becoming a big graveyard(墓地) of bicycles,” David said. He began picking up the given?up bikes and “saving” them, repairing, repainting, and renewing them.

Then one day he found a really old bicycle, which could not be “saved” in usual ways, so he began thinking of better materials to replace the frame. Bamboo came to his mind.

He searched online, and after three months of research and tries, communicating with factories and experts, he made his first bamboo bicycle. “It was amazing! It really works!” he recalled.

The bikes are not for sale—they're to encourage a love of cycling among people who live in Beijing. David hopes bamboo bicycles can create “a little bit more different culture in Beijing”.
