Oracle bone script is an ancient script carved on tortoise shells or animal bones and originates from divination practices. 1.Emerging(emerge) during the Shang Dynasty (B.C.160-B.C.1000), oracle bone script is now considered the oldest script in China.
In Shang Dynasty, diviners (占卜者) would heat animal bones or tortoise shells until cracks formed. The interpretation of the crack patterns, served 2.as guidance from ancestors regarding future weather, military actions, crop harvests, royal births and other matters.
The discovery of oracle bone script is a story filled with chance occurrences. In 1899, Wang Yirong, 3.an official and epigrapher (金石学家) in Beijing, noticed peculiar symbols on the “dragon bones” he purchased for medicinal use. As an expert in ancient scripts, he 4.keenly(keen) realized that these symbols could be ancient writing. Wang immediately sent people to purchase a large number of these inscribed oracle bones from the medicine shops 5.and conducted preliminary research on them. He confirmed that these symbols belonged to an ancient writing system even 6.older(old) than the known seal script (篆书), thus opening the academic study of oracle bone script.
Oracle bone script is complicated in shape, 7.consisting(consist) of numerous pictographic and ideographic characters. It records the daily lives, social systems, religious 8.beliefs(belief) and various ritual activities of the Shang Dynasty people. Through the study of oracle bone script, we can gain insights into aspects of Shang Dynasty society such as social structure, religious concepts and economic activities.
With further research on oracle bone script, there is a general 9.recognition(recognize) of its historical value and academic significance by the international scholarly community. In 2017, Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China 10.were__included(include) in the Memory of the World Register, signifying the international acknowledgment of their importance as a cultural heritage of humanity.
World in a Dish: Thinking Outside the White Plastic Box
Adapted from The Economist-20250201
Across the West, eating tofu is seen as weak and somehow unmanly. Obviously, this view is silly, and those who hold it are robbing themselves of a healthy, delicious and adaptable source of protein. Tofu—rich in calcium, protein and a variety of minerals—remained unknown in the West until the 1960s while Asians have eaten it for millennia. For some, tofu is too ordinary and tasteless that they eat it only because they feel they should. In a new book, Tofu: A Culinary History, Russell Thomas, a journalist, argues that bean curd deserves better than its worthy reputation.
In some Asian languages, the words for “tofu” and “cheese” are similar, and they have strikingly similar production methods. Just as cheeses differ markedly in taste and texture, tofu takes a variety of forms, from delicate silken tofu (嫩豆腐)—delicious as a dessert when dressed with syrup—to the refrigerated boxed-in-water versions.
For people who want to reduce their meat consumption, tofu can prove a surprisingly delicious substitute. Extra-firm tofu, crumbled and well-seasoned, makes a taco filling reminiscent (使回忆起) of Mexican chorizo (墨西哥辣香肠). Coated in cornstarch, shallow-fried and sauced, it makes a crisp, light stir-fry. Thawed tofu has a porous resilience that soaks up sauce, making it perfect for stews.
But tofu need not stand in for meat. That's where we can learn from Asians. Across Asia, people see no contradiction in eating both meat and tofu, even in the same dish. In mapo tofu, a Sichuanese favourite, small chewy bits of beef or pork swimming in a spicy sauce complement tofu's tender delicacy. Then, soft tofu cut in squares makes a bed for a whole steamed fish bathed in chillies and garlic. Smoked or pressed tofu, with its firm and meaty texture, stir-fried with pork and celery, offers a quick and gentle lunch, served over rice.
And though tofu sticks may look shiny and more like industrial products when packaged and dried, paired with chunks of pork belly in a spiced broth (肉汤), they make a winter stew hearty and delicious enough to convert the tofuphobe (讨厌豆腐的人)—and remind you never to judge a food by popular beliefs.

[翻译] 尽管包装好的干豆腐串看起来光亮,更像是工业产品,但与五花肉块一起在调好味的肉汤中炖煮的话,它们能让冬日的炖菜变得丰盛可口,足以让讨厌豆腐的人改变看法——也提醒你永远不要根据流行的看法来评判一种食物。
My Early Home
Excerpt from Black Beauty
“黑骏马”天资聪颖,但遭受厄运,几经易主,历经磨难,最终在与死神擦肩而过后重获新生。
The first place that① I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow (草地) with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady (阴凉的) trees leaned over② it, and rushes (灯芯草) and water-lilies (睡莲) grew at the deep end. Over the hedge (树篱) on one side we looked into a plowed (犁过的) field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which③ stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a wood of fir (冷杉) trees④, and at the bottom a running brook (小溪) overhung (悬垂) by a steep bank⑤.
While⑥ I was young I lived upon⑦ my mother's milk, as⑧ I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot we used to stand⑨ by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed (棚子) near the grove (树丛).
As soon as⑩ I was old enough to eat grass, my mother would go out to work in the daytime, and come back in the evening.
There were six young colts (雄马驹) in the meadow besides me; they were older than I was; some were nearly as large as⑪ grown-up⑫ horses. I used to run with them, and had great fun; we used to gallop (驰骋) all together round and round the field as hard as we could go. Sometimes we had rather rough⑬ play, for they would frequently⑭ bite and kick as well as gallop.
One day, when there was a good deal of⑮ kicking, my mother whinnied (轻声嘶鸣) to me to come to her, and then she said,“I wish you to pay attention to⑯ what⑰ I am going to say to you. The colts who⑱ live here are very good colts, but they are cart (运货马车) horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners⑲. You have been well-bred (有教养的) and well-born; your father has a great name⑳ in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the sweetest temper㉑ of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways; do your work with a good will㉒, lift your feet up well when you trot (小跑), and never bite or kick even in play.”
I have never forgotten my mother's advice; I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her name was Duchess (女公爵), but he often called her Pet.
Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging (住处), and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all fond of㉓ him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate she would neigh (嘶叫) with joy, and trot up to him. He would pat and stroke㉔ her and say, “Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?” I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the horses would come to

him, but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a market day in a light gig (轻便两轮马车).
There was a plowboy (耕童), Dick, who sometimes came into our field to pluck㉕ blackberries from the hedge. When he had eaten all he wanted, he would have what㉖ he called fun with the colts, throwing㉗ stones and sticks at them to make them gallop. We did not much mind him, for㉘ we could gallop off; but sometimes a stone would hit and hurt us.
One day he was at this game, and did not know that the master was in the next field; but he was there, watching what was going on; over the hedge he jumped in a snap㉙, and catching Dick by the arm, he gave him such a box on the ear㉚ as made him roar㉛ with the pain and surprise. As soon as we saw the master, we trotted up nearer to see what went on.
“Bad boy!” he said, “Bad boy! To chase㉜ the colts. This is not the first time, nor the second, but it shall be the last. There—take your money and go home; I shall not want you on my farm again.” So we never saw Dick any more. Old Daniel, the man who looked after the horses, was just as gentle as our master, so we were well-off㉝.
