◆More than 22,000 pubs(酒馆) have a weekly quiz(智力测试) night. Some people say
that the success of modern-day pub quizzes is caused by a board game from the 1980s,
called Trivial Pursuit. In the game players had to answer questions about unimportant
details. But whatever the reason, pub owners now say they hold quiz nights because
quizzers drink like fish, so it is good business for them.
◆In the quiz, the quizmaster reads questions out loud and people answer questions
in teams. A lot of the time, people choose funny names for their teams. There are
normally several rounds, and a quiz can go on for 2 to 3 hours! Each round can be
about a different topic, or questions can be mixed.Topics can be about nature,
culture, life, health, food, science, sports, music and more.
◆Many pubs have old names referring to monarchs(君主), such as The King's Head or
The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings or queens.
Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. In some pubs
you can get drinks on the house, meaning they are free. If you've paid to be in the
quiz, there is usually a surprising prize.
◆More than half of the people in a recent survey on the Internet answered these
questions incorrectly: How many countries make up Great Britain? What is the world's
largest desert?
Study! Make sure you know the names of the winners of sporting events, Oscars and
TV shows. Also there is need to have a look at the world map. Besides studying, it's
very important to choose your team wisely. Try to have a mix of men and women, and
no more than five people. Don't choose someone who is always completely sure that
they're right, in fact sometimes they're wrong! Once you've got your team together,
always trust your first answer, and don't think about it too much. Make sure that
not everyone in your team drinks too much, otherwise the last round is going to get

We are what we eat. From high-calorie meals to low-fat lunches, much of our
health depends on what we eat. We know about the benefits(益处) of eating fittingly
for our physical health, but food, and cooking it, is proving to be good for our
mental(心理的) health as well.
Some people are now supporting the therapeutic value of cooking food. It's not
just about the end result but also the experience someone goes through. Dr Mark Salter,
a consultant psychiatrist, told the BBC: “Baking and cooking are good therapies.
They help patients develop planning skills, short - term memories and social
skills—lack(缺乏) of which may lead to mental illness.”
TV chef(大厨) and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping
our mind. She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show, The Great British
Bake Off. She says that “Baking's always been about therapy... It's never really
been about the cake.” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our
socialization and mental health.
Certainly, creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us
something to do, helping us get through the recent lockdown. People have said that
mixing dough(生面团)to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and
control. Research has shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel
happier. Nicole Farmer, who studies how food influences our biology, behavior and
mental health, told BBC online that “Cooking represents the human experience of
food, and growing people through food, so there is no doubt it can bring us timely
positive feelings.”
Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and sharing the end result,
a rewarding experience. Hopefully, as we start to mix with friends and family again,
we can enjoy the benefits once more and put us all in the right state of mind.
B.
It's a kind ofTV programme.

In December 2020, “the Super Apple” appeared at supermarkets across China,
sweeter and juicier than usual ones, without pesticide residue(农药残留). Before
reaching the market, the products had been tested over 500 times. Blockchain(区
块链) technology in recording farmers' actions is widely used to avoid nonstandard
pesticide use. Digital technology at the apple storage helps to group apples, which
can keep the stability(稳定性)
in the quality. “The future of agriculture lies
in the modern technology.” Huang Jikun, Professor of the China Centre for
Agricultural Policy at Peking University, told Beijing Review.
At China's Central Rural Work Conference in 2020, President Xi stressed that
efforts must be made to increase the quality of agriculture. Xi also pointed out
the importance of speeding up technologies.
China's agriculture has entered a stage of high-quality development, as the
country is meeting people's increasing need for high standard products. So
agriculture should turn to technology.
Three years ago,Yuan Longping led a program of planting rice in saline-
alkali(盐碱) soil in areas, including Xinjiang and Heilongjiang. Through hybrid
technology, Yuan's team have been able to raise improved rice for saline and alkaline
soils. If China could put 6.67 million hectares of saline-alkali soil into rice
production, it would be very likely to increase by around 30 million tons, a huge
contribution to the country.
In Lushui,Yunnan Province, one can rarely see farmers working on the farm.All
is gathered by the
common tasks are completed automatically(自动化地). Data(数据)
system to improve future production.
“More information and technology centres will be built so that basic data and
big data can be improved,and technologies like 5G and the BeiDou Satellite Navigation
System can be used in the field.”said Han Fujun, Deputy Chief Engineer of the
Information Center of MARA.
Since 2010, the Chinese government has been organizing technology exchanges,
training, field trips and other activities for the agricultural technology talents
to better understand the situations of each area.
Because of the COVID-19, companies begin to rethink better agricultural models,
as more people want to eat healthier foods. Science and technology will play a more
important role in the future.

“Have you finished your lesson, George?” said Mr. Prentice to his son, who
had laid aside his book and was busy making a large paper kite.
“No, father,”replied George,hanging down his head.
“Why not, my son?”
“Because it is so difficult, father. I am sure that I shall never learn it.
Besides, I could not remember it after I had learned it, my memory is so bad.”
“If I were to promise you a holiday on the thirtieth of the month after next,
do you think you would forget the date?”
“No, I am pretty sure that I should not.”
“You are first-rate at skating, and flying a kite, and playing at ball and
marbles, are you not?”
“Yes,father.”
“And yet you cannot learn your lesson! My dear boy, you are deceiving(欺骗)
yourself. You can learn as well as anyone, if you will only try.”
“But have I not tried, father?” again urged George.
“Well, try again. Come, for this afternoon lay aside that kite you are making,
and give another effort to get your lesson ready. Be in earnest, and you will soon
learn it. To show you that it only requires perseverance,__I will tell you a story:
—
“One of the dullest boys at a village school, more than thirty years ago, went
up to repeat his lesson one morning; and, as usual, did not know it. ‘Go to your
seat!’ said the teacher angrily.
‘If you don't pay more attention to your lessons, you will never be fit for
anything.’
“The poor boy stole off to his seat, and bent his eyes again upon his lesson.
“‘It is of no use; I cannot learm.’ he said in a whisper to a companion who
sat near him.
“‘You must try hard,’replied the kind-hearted boy.
“‘I have tried, but it is of no use; I may just as well give up at once.’
“‘Try again, Henry!’ Whispered his companion, in an earnest and encouraging
tone.
“These two little words gave him a fresh impulse, and he bent his mind again
to his task.
Gradually he began to find the sentences lingering in his memory; and soon, to
his surprise and pleasure, the whole lesson was mastered!
“From that day,” continued Mr. Prentice,“there was no boy in the school
who learned more rapidly than Henry. From that day till the present hour he has been
a student; and he now urges his son George to ‘try again’ as he tried. ”
“And was it indeed you, father?” asked his son, eagerly looking up into the
face of his kind parent.
That dull boy was your own father in his early years.”
“Yes, my child.
“Then I will try again.” said George, in a decided tone; and, flinging aside
his half-made kite, he turned and re-entered the house, and was soon bending in
earnest attention over his lesson.
“Well, what success, George?”asked Mr. Prentice, as the family gathered around
the tea-table.
“I learned the lesson, father!” replied the boy, “I can say every word of
it.”
“Did you find it hard work?”
“Not so very hard, after I had once made up my mind that I would learn it. Indeed
I never stopped to think, as I usually do, but went right on until I had mastered
every sentence.”
“May you never forget this lesson, my son!” said Mr. Prentice, “You now get
the secret of success. It lies in never stopping to think about a task being difficult
or tiresome, but in going steadily on,with a fixed determination to succeed.”
thinking about what will happen next
thinking about what's the best thing to do
