回答问题(一)人物故事+饮食文化
A
A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our two daughters. As my husband and I discussed about what to do next, our girls told us what they exactly wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Julie and Amy.
As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped(扇动) their colorful wings. Our girls were jumping up and down and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. I turned to the museum tour guide and asked “How long do butterflies live?”
She said, “About ten days.”
“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.
The guide answered, “They can make the world more beautiful.”
“Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you!”
After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. Butterflies live for a very short time. But they try to make the world more beautiful. We all have something to offer the world in a short time. When we take care of each other, we try to make each other happier and better. Suddenly I realize that everyone has their way to make the world a little better.

3.Did the girls have a good time there?

B
Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, is a must-have during holidays in Northern China. It dates back to ancient times.
Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Since Jiaozi is in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots(银锭), it symbolizes wealth(象征着财富). Traditionally, the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year’s Eve. They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings. The person who finds the coin will be likely to have good luck. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat Jiaozi in the hope of having a good future in the coming new year.
Based on your taste, you can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different fillings. There is no set rule as to what makes dumpling fillings. They can be anything from vegetables, meat or seafood. Whatever the fillings are, the wrapping(包) skill needs to be exquisite(精美的) to make Jiaozi good-looking.
As China is a country with a vast territory(幅员辽阔), there are differences in different areas in ways of making
Jiaozi or even serving it. For example, dumpling wrappers are made with a rolling stick in Beijing and Hebei Province, while in some parts of Inner Mongolia, wrappers are hand-pressed.
