Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals that improve your ability to fight off illness and you have fewer chances of getting ill.
No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut an onion, irritating chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.
Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions.
●Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes.
●Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes.
●Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes.
If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think that if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”.
11.Why can onions help you fight off illness?
A.Because they have different colours.
B.Because they have many uses in cooking.
C.Because they have a great taste.
D.Because they have special chemicals.
12.Why do your eyes make tears when you cut onions?
A.To improve physical condition.
B.To stop common diseases.
C.To wash away irritating chemicals.
D.To cause terrible pain.
13.What can you do to stop crying according to the text?
① Cut the onion under running water.
② Use a fan to blow air over the onion while cutting.
③ Cover the onion with a piece of cloth as you cut it.
④ Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④
14.What does the underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Tired. B.Weak. C.Sad. D.Strong.
15.In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text?
A.Life and health. B.Language and culture.

Dear Allen,
How’s it going? I’m in Beijing now, at Beijing International School. I’m in Class 2 with twelve other students. They’re from different countries.
I’m living with a Chinese family. They are very friendly. They like to eat dumplings, noodles and rice. Now I’m very interested in cooking. Yesterday they taught me to make noodles with tomato soup—their favourite food. Now, let me tell you how to make them.
First, cut up some green onions and two tomatoes. Turn on the gas cooker and heat about three teaspoons of oil in a pan. Put in the green onions, and then the tomatoes, mix them well with the oil and cook for about five minutes. Next pour two bowls of water into the pan and cook for about eight minutes. Then crack two eggs into a bowl, beat it up and pour it slowly into the pan. After one or two minutes, add one teaspoon of salt. Now the soup is OK. Finally, pour the soup over the noodles. It’s very delicious! Do you want to have a try?
Write to me soon.
Love,
Paula

In winter, many Chinese people enjoy hot dumplings (jiaozi) for dinner. Dumplings, however, are popular not only in China. People in Poland love dumplings too. Of course, their favourite dumplings are not called jiaozi. Instead, they are called pierogies.
Beata Jasek, a woman in southern Poland, makes pierogies by hand every day. She likes this job very much. “Pierogies are my life, ” she said. “And I’m glad to see people like my pierogies. ”
Pierogies are not easy to make. First, you roll out the dough thinly and cut it into small rounds. Then, you fill the rounds with plums (梅子), cherries, cheese or salmon. After that, you fold the rounds in half and seal (把……封上) them by pressing along the edges (边). Make sure the fillings won’t fall out when you are boiling these pierogies.
Jasek has made pierogies for 15 years. She is very skillful in making the dumplings. On 24 September, 2019, she broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest pierogi-making. She made 1,066 pierogies in one hour!
The Spring Festival is just around the corner. Do you have any wishes for the New Year? Perhaps you can think about your skills at one of your favourite hobbies — just as Jasek has done.
