　　“Reading makes a full man” ***Bacon, 1597***. Novels written by the writers like Jane Austen, Victor Hugo and Ernest Hemingway help us to know more about our history, culture and many other things.

　　Jane Austen***簡.奧斯汀*** was one of the most well-known women writers of the world. She was born in England in 1775. Jane loved reading and writing. She wrote a number of famous novels in her life. Among them, Pride and Prejudice《傲慢與偏見》 written in 1779 was the most popular.

　　Victor Hugo***維克多.雨果***, born in 1802 in France, was one of the best writers in the19th century. The talent in writing and hard work brought great success to Hugo at an early age.

　　Ernest Hemingway***歐內斯特.海明威***, an outstanding American writer and reporter, was born in 1899. His life experience had a great influence on his writing style. Hemingway lived in France and Italy between the 1920s and 1950s. Most of his books such as The Sun Also Rises were written at that time. He won the Nobel Prize in 1954 mainly because of the novel The Old Man and the Sea.

　　Are you “Weibo Addicts” ? You may spend too much time on Webo if you are a “Weibo Addict”.Do you write a Weibo ? If you don’t , you are “ out ”!

　　Weibo means microblog . People may spend much time writing a blog , but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why ? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words .

　　Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons . For many microblog users , it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information , including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on .

　　It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog . However, this can also bring some problems . For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami ***海嘯*** hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation ***輻射***” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor ***謠言***.

　　In a word , microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.

　　Are you a gourmand***吃貨***? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcast by CCTV. Can you find any holiday celebrated without a special festival food? Food is very important in China. Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

　　Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. Chinese believe that eggs mean producing something new. For example, after a baby is born, parents may hold a " feast party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, the number***1,3,5…*** for a girl, and ***2,4,6…*** for a boy.

　　Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles***蠟燭*** in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut them off.

　　Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, fish head pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the future.

　　Another very popular food during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty food is made of rice with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.

　　The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements***元素***,such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

　　62. A bite of China is _______.

　　A. a history B. a TV program C. a guide book D. a radio talk

　　63. The underlined phrase means_____ .

　　A. give presents B.get presents C. ask for D. stand for

　　64. In this part the documentary tells us about Chinese food ______ in the history.
