What would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble(泡) in freezing(结冰的) weather? Would it freeze solid(固体) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen
bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (结霜), becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋转） you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay even when the bubbles frost, but they don’t swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They don’t fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time. Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so interesting that I want to try it again next year.

ON Aug 29, a 14-year-old girl placed a large box in a supermarket. What did she do? She was appealing to (呼吁) people to donate(捐赠) food for poor kids! The American girl is Kate Klock. She has a passion (激情) for helping people, especially children. This summer, she saw some kids on the street and had nothing to eat. The ways they suffered from hunger(挨饿) deeply sadden her.
In Klock’s mind, kids should grow up and study happily. So she decided to do the best she could, to collect food for the children.
She put boxes at the stores and her home respectively (分别地). So when people passed the store or her home, they could put some food in the box.
Her project didn’t have a name, but she likes to emphasize (强调) “Hunger Hero” with her food drive. That’s what she wrote on her poster that accompanies the box. However, in the beginning, Klock was not welcomed by some stores. They turned her down when she wanted to place her box in their store. But after Klock explained her reasons, they were glad to offer a helping hand.
“Hunger exists (存在) everywhere in the world, even around us. It could be our neighbor, a teammate or a classmate,” said Klock. “I believe I can influence others to do it together with me, because that’s how we can make a difference, whether in my community(社区) or the whole world.”

The first time I tried chicken feet, it was a disaster(灾难). I was at my girlfriend’s house in Huizhou, Guangdong, and had to try it since her father was a famous maker of chicken feet, duck’s tongue (舌头), and soft chicken bones. It wasn’t that I didn’t like chicken feet, although, since my first attempt (尝试) at eating one, they have grown on me. It was a disaster because no matter how hard I tried, I just didn’t know how to eat the thing. We don’t usually eat chicken feet in the UK, and even in Chinatown there, it is not a common item on the menu. Now, all around me at the table, I saw people devouring (津津有味地吃) the little feet at an incredibly (极其) fast speed. I, on the other hand, was slow and failing to get any more than a small piece of skin from the foot. I just could not seem to get the technique (技巧) right.
“Technique?” you might ask yourselves. Yes, there’s definitely (肯定地) a “knack” to it, as we say in the UK.
“Start with the top bones in the toes and work your way down,” my girlfriend’s aunt said to me in broken English. “Aim for the joint (关节) and bite it off,” another person said in Chinese, pointing to the place where I should bite. Everyone was staring and I felt the pressure. Not the pressure of being in China, not understanding much Chinese, or even meeting the family. The thing I felt most pressured about, after all my anticipation (预期) before my trip, was whether or not I’d be able to bite the toe off a chicken foot while everyone was looking at me.
I made quite an ugly face as I wrestled with (全力应付) the foot in my mouth. But eventually (最终), I did it. Now I can eat chicken feet without a problem and – this is something I thought I would never say – I actually look forward to eating more. 62. What nationality(国籍) is the writer?
