Great Food Markets Around the Globe

Around the world, food markets create a place for community gathering and

nourishment and they allow visitors to immerse themselves in the culture and history of their

destinations, all while serving up delectable—and often adventurous—culinary treats. These

6 open-air markets, soaring food halls, and colorful bazaars are wonderful places to savor in

local flavor and discover inspiring ingredients.

Castries Market in Castries, St. Lucia

This colorful Caribbean market is filled with tropical fruits and vegetables, including

breadfruit, jambu, and soursop, as well as island-grown spices. Coconut water straight from a

young coco-nut is a particular treat.

Old Market Hall and Kaup-patori Market Square in Helsinki, Finland

The vendors of Helsinki’s iconic Kauppatori Market Square serve up herring seaside as

they hawk Finn-ish meat pastries. Nearby, inside the renovated Old Market Hall, artisan

breads, smoked meats, and classic sweets are on offer.

St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, Canada

Saturday is farmers market day in downtown Toronto, a tradition dating back to 1803,

held along-side 120 specialty food and craft vendors. Save room for a peameal bacon

sandwich, a local specialty.

Ferry Building in San Francisco, California

You can make an amazing meal by grazing through the restaurants and gourmet food

vendors of the Ferry Building every day of the week. But Saturdays, when the Ferry Plaza

Farmers Market surrounds the building, offer the real feast.

Mercado de la Merced in Mexico City, Mexico

The first thing you notice at Mer-cado de la Merced is its size: the equivalent of about

eight city blocks filled with chilies, cactus fruit, cha-pulines (grasshoppers), and

innu-merable other Mexican ingredients.

Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo’s wholesale fish market— the world’s largest—has moved to the new Toyosu

Market, but the bustling outer market at Tsukiji remains and is still a highlight for sushi

lovers. Find freshly sliced sashimi among 300-plus shops and restaurants (generally closed

Cameron is no ordinary dog, and not just because he was born on Valentine's Day. To

Maggie, a first-grader at Burgundy Farm Country Day School, the dog who spends most

days on campus is more like a friend. When Cameron is near, Maggie feels “really,

really,

happy，” she said. “I feel safe around him，” she added. “He'll lie down and ask me to

scratch his tummy，” she explained, because Cameron likes Maggie.

Cameron is one of a handful of dogs at Burgundy, a K8 private day school in

Alexandria, Virginia. Dogs started showing up there when the head of school, Jeff Sindler,

brought his clumsy Labrador, Luke, to the main office building where Sindler works. After

Luke died, Sindler adopted Cameron and brought him to campus, too, where the dog Maggie

described as “really cute” became a school favorite.

“They don't care if you are good at basketball or a great reader, or popular，” Sindler

said. “They just want to be loved—equal opportunity ，” he added. “Cameron and the

other dogs on campus—are always fastened with a rope and with their owner—go a long

way toward improving students' social and emotional well-being ，” he said. They

reduce

tension and ease anxiety, and inspire happy feelings from students.

“They bring out some important emotions，” he said, “and are especially helpful to

children and adults who struggle in social communication.” Children often came from

challenging backgrounds: many lived in poverty, or had to travel through dangerous

neighborhoods to get to school, or shared a too-crowded home. When these emotionally

needy children met the dogs, they relaxed and were more prepared to learn.

Just as important, dogs on school grounds set a positive, welcoming tone. They help

preserve the school climate that is accepting, supportive and curious. “Dogs are one way to

hold on to that，” Sindler said, adding that“ schools should be fun and exciting, and dogs

can be a big part of that.”

For Sindler, including Cameron was all part of an effort to create a safe

environment

where learning could flourish.

A. His rare species.

C. His attractive appearance.

D. His friendly nature.

5．How do dogs on campus improve students' social and emotional well-being?

A. By playing fetch together fondly.

B. By offering them comfort equally.

C. By playing basketball together freely.

D. By walking a long way together happily.

6．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. A positive tone.

B. The school ground.

C. A welcoming attitude.

D. The school atmosphere.

7．What's the purpose of the passage?

A. To encourage schools to bring in more dogs.

B. To explain why dogs help students with learning.

C. To introduce a way to help students grow healthily.

D. To explore the possibility to challenge no-dog rules.

Following a successful first season in 2021, the newest season of talk show The Answer

of Time kicked off on October 16. Season two aims to tell the story of six Chinese dream

chasers from various fields ranging from the aerospace industry to deep-sea diving.

At the China Astronaut Research and Training Center in Beijing, Chinese astronaut Nie

Haisheng, who traveled to space in 2005, 2013 and 2021, recalled in front of the camera his

unusual experiences on the job.

On the most recent episode released on Saturday on Dragon TV, the program invited

Nie

to introduce his life as an astronaut. Viewers were able to see not only the everyday life of

astronauts on China’s space station, but also the breathtaking photos Nie took on the space

station while overlooking our blue planet below.

“That bright spot there is Beijing. We could also see the bright and white Himalayas, as

well as Chongming Island in Shanghai,” Nie said during the show while pointing out places

on a photo.

“My favorite activity was looking for my hometown in Hubei Province, which is along a

big corner of the Yangtze River.”

From staples to the side courses, the astronaut also introduced the daily food they ate,

such as traditional fusion desserts like cheese Osmanthus cakes.

During the show, host Chen Chen explores the stories behind the lives of all the guests

during interviews, giving them the opportunity to share the challenges and successes they

have experienced in their lives.

“The last time I went to my hometown was after the astronaut selection for the Shenzhou

No.12 mission around the 10th anniversary of my mother’s death. When she was alive, she

didn’t talk much, but always told me to be someone who could serve the country,” Nie

recalled during the interview.

It is a question people have been asking for ages—is there a way to turn back the aging

process?

For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if

you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not become old. Spanish

explorer Juan Ponce de León searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s.

But what he found instead is the American State of Florida.
