The world's largest radio telescope was finished on Sept． 25， 2017 in China．
FAST is a five﹣hundred﹣meter telescope． It is also called Tian﹣yan （"The Eye of Heaven"）， with a dish the sire of 30 football grounds， deep in the mountains of southwest China's Guizhou Province． The giant dish is built on a howl﹣like valley．
The surrounding area has "radio silence" as there are no towns and cities within a 5﹣kilometer radius（半径范围） and only one county center within 25 kilometers．
FAST is made up of 4，450 panels（面板）． The second largest radio telescope is in Russia． The bigger dish will be able to pick up weaker signals （信号）．
The radio telescope is like an ear， listening to tell meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe． With the help of the telescope， we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space． It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy（银河系） and explore the origins（起源）of the universe． "Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize，" said Joseph Taylor， a Noble Prize winner．
The FAST project began in 2011． And the telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years．

My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown. I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetable. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better.
In order to use less wood in cooking, they started to cut their meat and vegetable into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in the manner kept its fresh flavor(风味)--- and its this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking.
