“Mahjong dumplings” prove winning hand It’s a widely-known fact that Chinese people love mahjong, and have a strong preference for sweet dumplings. One restaurant owner in Lanzhou. Southwest China’s Gansu Province, has combined these two favorites to create the “mahjong dumplings”, winning over thousands of netizens’ hearts and stomachs. ______________________________________ Although the thought of eating locusts or other insects might scare many people, students and teachers wolfed down foods made with more than 10 kinds of edible (可食用的) insects during a special party at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan Agricultural University. Two associate professors worked with a student association to organize the activity in order to remove people’s misunderstanding about insects. “Insects are healthy to eat as they contain a lot of iron and calcium, as well as essential amino acids (氨基酸).” they said. SW China’s Chongqing Treats Tourists to Hot Pots While Sitting in Ice Buckets A water park in Chongqing has recently offered a special treat to visitors---enjoying hot pots while sitting in ice buckets in an outdoor swimming pool, as the summer heat continues. The program has clearly become a hit, as expected. The swimming pool is packed with customers wearing swimming suits while dining around steaming hot pots and enjoying beer. The buckets they are sitting in are filled with water, with ice cubes and dry ice that are constantly refilled by waiters.

“Sunday driver” was a phrase that described someone who drove his car down the highway when enjoying the scenery (风景). These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do. However, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who needn’t work on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The phrase simply meant that the person was an obstacle (障碍) to other drivers who were really busy.
The phrase probably came out because there was a time when people could go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoon. There were many Sunday drivers years ago and especially on nice warm sunny days. There were no stores open on Sundays because of the “blue laws”, so you needed to fill up the gas tank and do any other needed shopping before Sunday arrived. Some states in the US had strict blue laws—Some activities were not allowed on Sundays. At that time, very few people worked on Sundays but some important workers such as those in the hospitals. It was a day that people spent resting, visiting neighbors and friends, or maybe going to grandma’s house for supper.
Today there are many people who go back to work and children who go back to school feeling tired on Mondays because they don’t have a good rest on weekends. However, there would be less stress-related illnesses if we really keep Sunday as a day of rest.

A. who drives his car on Sundays B. who drives slowly for fun and relaxation
C. who always enjoys a weekend break D. who does shopping on Sundays

①Stores are open on Sundays according to it.
②People visit family members and friends on Sundays.
③People stay at home and have a rest on Sundays.
④PEople can easily fill up the gas tank on Sundays.
⑤They are good for people’s health.
A. ②③⑤ B. ①③⑤ C. ②④⑤ D. ①③④
60. What is the genre (体裁) of the passage
A. A story which is about Sunday drivers.
B. A piece of news which is about “blue laws”.
C. An argumentation which tries to prove that blue laws are good for people’s health.
