"Friends have your back," said Christina Li about the bond between two seventh-graders in her first novel, "Clues to the Universe."
   Li felt the same way about her best friend,Katia,whom she met in the fifth grade.Her characters Ro and Benji are fictional,but Li drew on her feelings about her friendship with Katia to develop the close friendship in her book.Like friends everywhere,Li and Katia enjoyed just spending time together.They talked a lot.Li even dedicated this novel to Katia,because "she and her family have supported my career so much," Li said.
   Li also mined her memories about another middle school experience:the science fair. "I was not a science kid," Li said with a laugh.She signed up for the fair on a whim (一時興起) but ended up loving the chance to study science. "It turned out to be a defining experience and helped me become more confident," she said.
   That's true,too,for Ro and Benji as they work on a rocket for their project.Rockets are Ro's passions.Benji prefers drawing,but he needs the credit to improve his science grade.Soon,though,Ro's excitement kick-starts Benji's curiosity.Then Ro decides to help Benji with his secret search:to find his long-absent father—who may be the creator of a popular comic called "Spacebound." The novel is set in the early 1980s,before Internet research was a possibility.But the science fair and their search bring unexpected conflict.
   As a kid,Li loved reading.She started writing fantasy when she was in middle school.She's also enjoying the connection with her young readers.Recently,Li heard from a girl who was excited to read about the main character,Ro,who is Chinese American,like her. "Representation is so important,"she said. "And now it's wonderful to be able to share that in my book."

  • 1.Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world.Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish?But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West,and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East - the ancient custom of tonic food.
       Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness.For instance,it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth.It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles,reduce pain,improve circulation,stimulate sweating,and warm the body.Some foods,such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜),are seen as "hot",while others,such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小蘿卜),are seen as "cold".One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food.However,how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year,how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with,and the individual's health.
       The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.Chinese herbal medicines,such as the wolfberry (枸杞子),can be found on many a restaurant menu,either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish.These herbs attract customers,such as overworked office staff,in need of a modest pick-me-up.
       So,whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup,or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup,you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

    (1)What is the present situation of tonic food?

    A.It is catching less attention.
    B.It is enjoyed by many young people.
    C.It is well known worldwide.
    D.It is becoming increasingly popular.
    (2)What is believed to benefit new mothers?

    A.Chinese cabbage.
    B.Fruit tea.
    C.Sesame oil hotpot.
    D.Pig brain soup.
    (3)Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3?

    A.Medicine.
    B.Restaurant.
    C.Education.
    D.Fashion.
    (4)What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A.The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
    B.The Popularity of Tonic Food
    C.An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food
    D.Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
