Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland，California，makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example，the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame （芝麻） seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
   The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said： "We get a lot of comments，for example，'The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.' ''Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up." She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries （糕點）.
   Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
   "Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression，" said Robert Ku，who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy：The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
   "The bakers are showing that their foods，which mix cultures，are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored，" Ku said. "They're instead really trying to fuse things together."

1．Obviously，most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour？Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight？
   According to the Ohio State University Extension，which summarised the findings，the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts，lunches，and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus，they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
   One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television，particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things，including simply watching a lot of television，tended to have a higher body mass index （BMI），as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
   Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars，while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study，eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer，eating food provided by colleagues at work，and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
   Finally，the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate，who planned meals，and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight，ate less fat and fewer sugars，ate more fruit and vegetables，and engaged in more physical activities.

3．Breakdancing may make its debut（首次亮相）as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024，Tony Estanguet，head of the Paris 2024 organizing committee，said on February 21.Skateboarding，sport climbing and surfing which have already been added to Tokyo 2020，have been invited to return in Paris.
   Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics "more urban" and "more artistic". "We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee（IOC）with the four sports because they are creative，appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision.They reflect perfectly Paris 2024's identity. "
   Breakdancing is an example of a sport "which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments".It appeared at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head "battles".In competitive breakdancing，"breakers" face off in "battles" against each other，either as individuals or teams.Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics（雜技）.
   The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10，500，which limited the opportunity to add sports.But the organizers said the inclusion would not need the construction of permanent facilities（設施）and would involve just 248 competitors，including 32 breakdancers.The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf centers such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
   The inclusion still needs to be rubber-stamped by the IOC，which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris 2024 after Tokyo 2020.

（1）What do we know about breakdancing？

A．It involves multiple skills.
B．It's limited to group competition.
