中国人的家庭树Chinese Family Tree
中国人常说 “家和万事兴”，家庭对我们很重要。一个大的家庭中有有爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶，可能还有其他家庭成员。今天，我们跟着来自澳大利亚的麦克，一起学习中国人的家庭树。​
我的学生麦克来中国学习，他和李华是好朋友。春节快到了，李华和麦克说：“麦克，春节很好玩，来我家过年吧！” 麦克说：“好啊”​
春节那天，麦克来到李华家，见到了李华的家人。他们在厨房忙着做年夜饭呢，很热闹。李华和麦克，走到爸爸妈妈面前，对麦克说：“这是我的爸爸，这是我的妈妈。” 麦克说：“叔叔、阿姨新年好！” 李华的爸爸妈妈说：“麦克，你的中文说得真好！”​
这时，李华的爷爷戴着眼镜，拿着春联出来了。李华对麦克说：“这是我爷爷，爷爷是爸爸的爸爸。” 麦克说：“爷爷新年好！” 爷爷笑着说“欢迎你”​
不一会儿，李华的奶奶端着饺子出来了。李华对麦克说：“这是我奶奶，奶奶是爸爸的妈妈。” 麦克说：“奶奶新年好，饺子看起来很好吃！” 奶奶说：“是的，快尝一尝”​
吃年夜饭时，李华的叔叔、婶婶带着孩子来了。麦克问李华：“他们是谁？” 李华一边吃饺子，一边说：“这是我叔叔，我爸爸的弟弟，这是我婶婶，叔叔的妻子。” 大家听了都笑了，麦克也跟着笑，向叔叔、婶婶问好。​
晚饭后，大家坐在一起聊天。李华拿起一张照片，对麦克说：“麦克，这是我伯伯，爸爸的哥哥，这是我姑姑，爸爸的妹妹。” 麦克问：“那你妈妈的哥哥也是伯伯吗？” 李华说：“妈妈的哥哥和弟弟都叫舅舅，妈妈的姐妹叫姨妈。”​
麦克说：“中国人的家庭里称呼好多啊！在澳大利亚，很多亲戚称呼差不多，不像中国分得这么清楚。” 李华的爷爷说：“中国很大，很多地方亲戚称呼不一样。有的地方把爸爸的姐妹叫‘嬢嬢’。” 麦克说：“真有意思！”​
这个春节麦克学习了关于中国春节的知识，也知道了中国人的“family tree”。

Barbecue is a much-loved part of American food culture, with different areas having their own special flavors and cooking styles. From the Carolinas to Texas, there's a lot to learn about how barbecue styles are different across the country — and what better place to learn than at a museum!

Planned to open next spring in Kansas City, Missouri, the Museum of BBQ says it will be the world's first museum dedicated to teaching visitors about the history and culture of the cooking style.

"Barbecue is a feast for your senses," says food writer Jonathan Bender, who is opening the museum with chef Alex Pope. "Here in one of the BBQ capitals of the world, we're creating a place where you can immerse yourself in the stories of barbecue."

The museum will have rooms based on different barbecue styles, and what it calls "the main American regions of barbecue" — the Carolinas; Memphis, Tennessee; Texas; and Kansas City.



There will also be an oversized pot of "barbecue beans" for kids to play in, and a gift shop where visitors can buy things like barbecue spices, sauces and aprons.

Bender says the museum will be a place "where barbecue comes alive."

Kansas City is one of the barbecue capitals of the world, home to more than 100 local barbecue restaurants and many barbecue competitions. The city's barbecue style is famous for its "burnt ends" — charred pieces of slow-cooked beef brisket — often served with a thick, sweet, tomato-based sauce.

But the best styles and flavors are often debated among lovers of the cooking style — which is something the museum may help to encourage among its visitors!

"Barbecue isn't just food. It's culture," Bender told CNN Travel. And the founders hope visitors will come away from the museum with a new appreciation for barbecue and the community it creates.

Recycled Human Hair Is Cleaning Belgian Water
Imagine if the hair caught in your drain could actually help to clean it.

That's what's happening in Belgium, where human hair is being recycled to help clean the country's water.

Around the country, hairdressers are taking the hair they cut from their customers' heads and putting it into bags. These bags of hair are then collected by a non-profit organization that runs a project called "Hair Recycle."

The hair collected by Hair Recycle is put through a machine and made into 60-centimeter-wide square mats. These mats can then be put into a drain to absorb oil and other pollution before it gets into a river or stream.

According to the Hair Recycle website, 1 kilogram of hair can absorb up to 8 liters of oil.

To take part in the project, hair salons have to pay a small fee. They then receive bags to collect the hair, and a sticker for their window, so they can show their customers that they are helping the environment.

Salons in Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also taking part in the Hair Recycle project.

Belgium's Hair Recycle is not the only hair recycling project, however. In the UK and Ireland, a company called Green Salon Collective is recycling hair and other waste from salons, including metal, paper, plastic and chemicals.

And a similar company called Green Circle Salons is recycling hair and other salon waste in the US and Canada.

So maybe hair in the drain can be a good thing?
