The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has an unusual way of using animal waste. The pandas in it produce a lot of poop a day. 【2】 It’s not strange. After all, paper is made from plant fiber (植物纤维), which cannot be digested (消化) and simply goes through the body as waste.

Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their waste is perfect paper material. 【3】 Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.

After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry.【4】 No one can guess where the paper comes from. And because of its good quality (质量) as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.

【5】 They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象粪便做的纸) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the UK sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.

Class member Bill, aged ten, says, “I love my mom’s cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers always make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we’ve made.”

Flora is twelve, and she says, “I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mom suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing on weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first. I’m really glad I decided to come, though.”

Their teacher, Philippe, says, “The students are great. They pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking!

Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake. The greatest mistake of all time could be those delicious snacks in your corner drugstore.

One day ,a woman was making chocolate cookies. When she ran out of chocolate powder(粉)， she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her cookie dough(面团) and baked (烘烤) it. She thought that the chocolate would (1) melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies. Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard. When she took them out of the oven ,she had chocolate chip cookies.

Another accidental invention was made by Frank Epperson, an eleven-year-old boy .In 1905, Frank sat outside on a winter evening ,mixing up a big jug (罐) of powdered soda pop. Frank accidentally left the jug out during the night . When he went outside the next morning ,he found the mixsure in the jug frozen(冻僵) with the mixing stick stuck in the middle. Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it . It was delicious ! Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the named to (2) Popsicles.

So, the next time you drop your hamburger into your ice cream or your cooked potatoes into your chicken soup ,don’t worry! Some of the most delicious foods in the world were invented that way!
