23、Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress? Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress?

24、John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.

Dear David,

How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having fun on my student exchange program here. I am used to life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I will share some with you.

In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art, kite making and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites spread to Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft(飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.

Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1,660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.

Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese people have been celebrating it and enjoying moon cakes for centuries.

If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.

Best wishes!

Yours,

John

India is a country rich in culture and tradition. And although India is changing, one thing remains the s【1】: the cow is sacred（神圣的）. And men and women cover their heads and faces with cow urine（牛粪）.

According to their tradition, the cow is not just a farm animal. These cows are like motherhood, and their milk feeds them. But it’s not the milk these men and women are waiting for—it’s the urine. As a precious g【2】 from the cow, the urine is often placed in the house to protect their homeland. People think the urine can beautify their house and keep away b【3】 luck. Men even put cow urine into their hair.

And this special form of worshipping（崇拜） has been around for centuries.

Surprisingly, cow urine is even used by people as a kind of m【4】. Locals believe it can make sick people feel better. Believe it.

Some believers show their worshipping by making an offering of hair.

About 12,000 heads are shaved（剃头） every day. That means the city is always f【5】 of hairless believers. Often waiting for 10 hours or more, believers f【6】 enter the shaving area. On average the temple’s 1,600 barbers shave over 15 heads an hour. The temple then sells piles of hair to local wigmakers（假发店）. The money is used to help the area’s poor and make sure the a【7】 hair temple of India keeps going. Believe it.
