Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shennong, a man who had an ox(牛) head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place shennongjia.
The legend(传说) makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see sceneries of the four seasons from different altitudes."When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice," local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has recently received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site. China now has 50 world heritage sites(遗址). Second only to Italy in the world.
Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive(有魅力的) to others.
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make-up free(素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge(评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them, "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said, "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious(无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."
Lots of schools in America teach music, but not every school teaches mariachi. Mariachi is a kind of Mexican (墨西哥) music. It has a long history.
Richard Edwards Elementary School in Chicago (芝加哥) starts mariachi lessons this year. The students learn mariachi or violins and guitars. They also learn to sing mariachi songs. Mariachi helps them learn about the culture of Mexico.
Mariachi is also popular with these students' parents. Many of them are from Mexico. They listened to mariachi music every day when they were young. But later they left Mexico and moved to the United States. Their children were born and they listened to different kinds of music and watched different sports. Now they can play mariachi together.
Mariachi lessons are popular, but it is not easy for schools to start the subject. Many people do not know what mariachi is. Money is also a problem. Schools have to buy many violins and guitars for their students. That needs a lot of money.
Still mariachi is becoming more and more popular with many American people, and schools all over the country.
