Is there something strange high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows this mystery(谜)has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints(脚印)in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. When he watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspaper had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “Snowman” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey? Could it be an ape man? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Somebody we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

The widespread number of food scandals(丑闻)in  China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouths.They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean,healthy and nutritious(营养) or does it contain(包含) something harmful that will cause disease?
Most of the food we eat today is processed food(加工食品).That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets,especially packaged foods,are prepared in factories.Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to  make them look better,taste better and last longer on the shelf.The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate(控制) which chemicals can and cannot be used.Unfortunately,some producers do not obey the laws.
A producer of steamed buns(馒头)in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law.He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns.He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns.Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students…like you!
Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s  health? The answer is simple:he wanted to make more money.It was a moral failing,and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China.Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.
