Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce from scratch and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes. It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, 2019 she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek. With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million followers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. "I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture," the vlogger told China.org.cn. "Much of the popularity of my videos can be attributed to the attraction of Chinese culture.'

Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired wok (锅). A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China's traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate. “She told the stories of China's culture and that of China," the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Zigi also comes from her "passion for life, for her home and for her culture". Indeed, Li's simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Few people can resist the lure (诱惑) of a delicious ice cream, especially on a hot day. The only thing that spoils the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly often ending up with a sticky, melted mess. Now, researchers from Colombia's Pontificia Bolivariana University may have found an unlikely partner to help solve this age-old problem- cellulose fiber (纤维素) extracted from banana plant waste. Bananas, as you probably know, grow in bunches on a tree-like plant. Each bunch is attached to a central stalk, called a rahis (叶轴)，which is thrown once the fruit has been harvested. The team, led by Dr. Rotin Zuluaga Gallego, began by extracting cellulose nanofibrils (CNs) from powdered rachis. The tasteless, odorless macro fibers, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair, were then added in various concentrations to 100 grams of ice cream mix. With the right amount of CNFs mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than conventional ice cream, extending both its shelf life and the amount of time the treat can be enjoyed. Even more exciting was that the fibers increased the stickiness of low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treat's creaminess and texture, CNFs could help create healthier ice cream without compromising on taste. The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in New Orleans on March 21, 2018, next plan to investigate how different types of fat, such as coconut oil, affect the behavior of CNFs in other frozen treats. The Colombian researchers are not the only one working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a naturally occurring protein called BSIA (Bacterial Surface Layer A) was remarkably effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both teams competing to be the first to get to market, the future of everyone's favorite dessert certainly looks promising 【1】What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly? A.A kind of fiber from banana. B.The ice cream's stickiness. C.The hot weather. D.The ice cream's quick melting. 【2】Why were CNFs added to ice cream mix? A.To improve is flavor. B.To reduce its fat content. C.To make it melt more slowly. D.To add to its nutrition. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Ice cream with BsIA has been on sale at the market. B.Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality. C.CNFs are more useful and effective than BslA. D.The Colombian research team has taken the lead in the competition with the Scottish team. 【4】What's the author's attitude towards the finding of CNFs? A.Positive. B.Casual. C.Defensive D.Suspicious. |
