Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap. So Chinese people usually use lunchtime to rest. I often see office workers rest their heads on their desks. The room turns into a quiet “bedroom”. Once, I even saw workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go back to their dormitories (宿舍) or classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people believe a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic in the afternoon.

In Britain, this activity is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. Instead of napping, they fill that time by playing sports or talking with friends.

Most workers in Britain don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks-between 30 minutes to an hour. There is not enough time to have a nap. Because of the shortness of their lunch breaks, it is common for people to work through lunch or just finish their lunch at their desk.

“Which is the right bin for my rubbish?” This may be the most asked question in Shanghai since it started a new garbage-sorting (垃圾分类) program on July 1, 2019 When learning about the four kinds of rubbish-wet, dry, recyclable (可回收的) and harmful-many people maybe don' know how to properly sort it.

To help people solve this problem, China's technology companies are giving a hand. For example, if you want to know which bin your wet wipes (湿巾) should go in, you can just open a mini app in WeChat or Alipay and look for “wet wipes”. The app will give you the answer right away. Soon, you might do it in an easier way. Maybe you can just take a photo of the rubbish and then be told where it should go.

This kind of technology is called image recognition (图像识别). It uses artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能). Many companies around the world are making garbage-sorting robots that use this technology. For example, AMP Robotics in the US has made a robot that can sort food and drink packages (包装).By “seeing” pictures on the packages, the robot will pick up the rubbish and put it in the right place.

The future of garbage-sorting looks good. But it's not the best way. The best thing we can do is to make less rubbish in the first place.

【1】The people in Shanghai must put the rubbish into the right bin since July 1, 2019.

【2】People know how to sort the five kinds of rubbish.

【3】WeChat can help people sort the rubbish correctly.

【4】According to paragraph 3, garbage-sorting robots can only “seeing”pictures on the packages.

【5】Making less rubbish is the best thing we can do in the first place.

When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins【1】 the street?

Some of you might not be able to answer this【2】. However, it’s actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. 【3】you don’t sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried（埋）together．

“Wet” waste is known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat.”

Paper, metal, glass and【4】 things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin．

Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to【5】the environment and encourage others to sort their rubbish.

From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were written records about noodles. “Mian” became the name of noodles in the Song Dynasty. Before that, there was no specific name for this kind of food.

There are all kinds of noodles, such as cold noodles, warm noodles, and fried noodles. There are also all kinds of noodle-making methods, such as brushing, pressing, rolling and pulling.

China is where all noodles originated（起源）, including the noodles, such as spaghetti, that we think came from other countries. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo came to China. He learned to make noodles, and then taught the method when he went back to his country. In 1912, the traditional Chinese method of noodle-making was brought to Japan. Japanese noodles were first called “Dragon Noodles”, meaning food eaten by the Chinese-the descendants（后代）of the Dragon.

Among all Chinese noodles, the most special type may be Yi Noodles. They were created by a chef in the Qing Dynasty. Yi Noodles are made in both southern and northern China, but Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces are most famous for making Yi Noodles. Yi Noodles can be served dry or with soup. Since Yi Noodles are similar to modern instant noodles（方便面）, they are considered to be the father of modern instant noodles.

Alice: I know a little. 【2】 There are about 2, 000 pandas living in the forests.

Frank: That’s true. They are endangered now.
