It’s said that after working and studying for a long time, having some dessert can help us forget tiredness. Are you a dessert lover? What’s your favorite dessert? Have you ever heard of a traditional dessert called Fried Chop Rice Cake(驴打滚)?
The dessert is also named Lü Da Gun in Chinese. And it is one of the most popular snacks in Beijing. Its name is very interesting, isn’t it? But it has nothing to do with donkeys(驴). 1.It is a kind of handmade cake that tastes sweet and delicious. Why do Chinese people call it Lü Da Gun?
Here is a story about it. It’s believed that in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi(慈禧太后) was tired of having the same kind of food every day. So, one day, a chef(厨师) was called to the palace. Cixi told her needs to the chef and ordered him to cook something different. 2.However, it’s too difficult for the chef to meet these needs. After thinking carefully, he made a new kind of cake by using rice powder and red bean paste(糯米粉和豆沙馅).
However, a boy came to the kitchen. Before the chef warned him, the boy had dropped the cake into soybean powder(黄豆面) by accident. 3.厨师很担心因为要做一个新的蛋糕太迟了。He had no choice but to take the cake to Empress Dowager Cixi nervously.
4.令他惊讶的是,慈禧非常喜欢他的糕点。 His bad luck unexpectedly turned into good things. She asked the chef what the name of the cake was. The chef had thought about that. Suddenly, he thought of the name of the little boy — “Xiao Lür’. So he said that the cake’s name was Lü Da Gun.
Since then, Lü Da Gun has won the hearts of foodies(美食家) for its special taste and funny name. 5.Many visitors see it as a must-eat food when traveling to Beijing. Would you like to try it?

26、What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, why do some students perform better under stress?
It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals to the brain. It has many important roles- it affects our memory, attention span and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine- not too much or too little.
Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually. Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri.
What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed, your brain will start to overload on dopamine, it is like a cup in which the water is so full that it goes over the side. The quicker you are able to go back to a balance of dopamine, the quicker you can pay attention, helping you perform better on a test.
Scientists found that during a test, people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored eight percent lower. That’s the difference between a good grade and a bad grade.
But don’t fear there is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you’ll be.
【1】Dopamine is a chemical in our body that ________.
A.puts us under a lot of pressure
B.sends signals to the brain
C.keeps our brains working
D.we need in order to think
【2】Which areas does dopamine play a role in?
a. remembering things
b. getting enough rest
c. paying attention to teachers
d. affecting the way we learn
A.abc
B.acd
C.bcd
D.abd
【3】What does the underlined word “overload” mean?
A.Raising the pressure of something.
B.Stopping something from happening
C.Having too many/much of something
D.Causing problems for someone
【4】Why do some students do better under stress?
A.Because they can achieve a better balance of dopamine quickly.
B.Because they can balance their dopamine more slowly.
C.Because they can send a lot of dopamine to their brains.
D.Because they produce less dopamine than others.
