For many Chinese, winter holiday season doesn’t seem complete without the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. But it’s impossible to satisfy all 1.3 billion Chinese.
Even if you, especially young audience（观众）complain about the Spring Festival Gala, watching it while having Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner has become a common way for families to get together. It’s much more than just a TV program, it’s also a way to bring family members together and get them talking during the holiday. Think about how you’ll watch the gala and discover its fun.
1. Share your opinions（观点）about the programs and artists with your family members. Introduce artists who young people enjoy to the elderly memebers of your family, such as “fellow brother” William Chan, or former（以前的）singing group EXO members Kris Wu and Lu Han.
2. Post your compliments and complaints on micro blogs and WeChat moments to share with friends. Then they will know what you’re satisfied with and what you complain about. In recent years, the gala is trying to attract young people by using Internet slang（俚语）. Guessing when and what Internet chat lingo（术语）will be mentioned in the show is surely going to be hot on social media. Will there be “drunk and tired”（也是醉了）? Have a bet with friends.
3. Online video websites such as IQiyi and Youku have introduced a real-time online discussion system. All comments（评论）are displayed on the screen. You can try watching the show in this interactive（互动的）way instead of the traditional TV sets so that you may know others’ opinions about the programs in the Spring Festival Gala.

We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn’t know why.
“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,” Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.

The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs “fuel” to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories(卡). A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the picture shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.
The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate（碳水化合物）, protein（蛋白质） and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal /gm of the energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the round pictures show.
(P= protein C= carbohydrate F=fat)How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 5kg of water from 35℃ to 90℃?
| A．55. | B．175. | C．325. | D．275. |
