Tofu history in China — Tofu is very popular in the East today but tofu was first eaten in China over 2,000 years ago. An ancient Chinese painting on a stone shows that soymilk (豆浆) and tofu were being made in China during 25~220. The oldest written material of tofu also appeared in China in about 1500, in a poem Ode to Tofu by Su Ping.

Tofu history in Japan — Kento priests (教士), who went to China, brought tofu back to Japan during the Nara era (710-794). The word “tofu” was first mentioned in Japan in the diary of a priest called Nakaomi. In 1489, the word “tofu” was first written in the actual Japanese characters. Tofu gradually became popular in Japan. The cooking book Tofu Hyakuchin came out in 1782 and sold very well.

Tofu history in Western world — In 1603, a Spanish dictionary was the first European document with the word “tofu”. Domingo Fernandez de Navarrete described in his book A Collection of Voyages and Travles how tofu was made. The first English reference (参考资料) to tofu was in 1704, when Navarrete’s book came out in English. Tofu was first produced in France by Paillieux in 1880. Hirata & Co started to make tofu in San Francisco in 1895.

When should people start to buy Christmas presents? One week before the day? Two weeks? Western children start buying presents months before Christmas. As the day comes nearer, children write lists of what presents they want to give and receive.

Big shopping streets get crowded from late November. Everyone counts (数) down the number of shopping days left until Christmas. Stores put up colored lights and Christmas trees. You will hear Christmas songs like Jingle Bells (《铃儿响叮当》) in shop after shop. Some stores offer many dolls, stuffed animals (填充动物玩具) and computer games. You can play with them to see if you like them — there are people to show you how things work.

People try to get to the shops early to buy presents before they sell out. In the week before Christmas, shops stay open late. Some stores open their doors at 9 am and close them at 9 pm, not 9 am until 5:30 pm as normal. So it’s very tiring for salespeople!

Some people save for months before the holiday to have enough money to spend on their friends and family.

But not everyone goes shopping for Christmas presents. Some people like to make their own gifts and cards.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but some move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁徙) is probably the migration of one kind of fish, which is called salmon (大马哈鱼). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends most of its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there.

In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain home when it becomes too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the bottom (底部) of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.

So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

Many people look for jobs every day. Some people think it’s hard to find a job. But do you have original ideas to look for a job?

22-year-old Bennett Olson is a smart young American man. He used a special way to get himself noticed when he was looking for a job. He spent 300 dollars buying some ad space near downtown Minneapolis and put his face on an electric advertisement board (广告牌). On the board, it said, “HIRE (雇用) ME!”

Bennett came up with this idea when he lost his job in March. Luckily, the idea worked. After a month’s looking for a job and several interviews, he found a job for sales and markets. Even though Bennett’s way might seem a little bit expensive, it was useful.

“You should do something special to make yourself stand out among so many people,” said Dr Steve Hine.

According to a recent study, employers (雇主) spend only about six seconds (秒) looking at a resume (简历) before deciding whether or not to hire the person. And it is hard for graduates to find a job in today’s job market. According to a survey, in 2011, nearly 54% of college graduates under the age of 25 didn’t find a job or have a good job.
