2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World

Place des Fêtes — New York City

This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views

of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not

miss the famous mushroom soup.

Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain, France

Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables ( 马厩) of a 19th-century private estate

into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred

varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.

Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City

Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from

drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for

fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure

bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.

Vilas — Bangkok

Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai? For Chef Prin Polsuk, one

of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of

Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey

around Europe and the foreign ingredients (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

Born in Hungary, Katalin Kariko always wanted to be an outstanding scientist when she was young. Her love of

biology took her to the University of Szeged where she studied and then worked as a researcher at its Biological Research

Center. Unfortunately, in 1985, Dr Kariko’s university’s research program ran out of money, which cast a shadow on her

family. Kariko, her husband, and their 2-year-old daughter moved to America for her new job that could make her go on

with her research at university in Philadelphia, America.

Kariko has spent her whole life trying to figure out how to use a person’s own cells to cure and prevent illness. She

focused on mRNA, or messenger RNA, which could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including

vaccines (疫苗). In the 1990’s, Kariko tried to get money from big companies to do her experiments. No one would do that

because her ideas and concepts of mRNA were too unbelievable at the time. “I thought maybe I’m not good enough, not

gifted enough. I tried to imagine: Everything is here, and I just have to do better experiments,” Kariko said.

Fortunately, a meeting at a university photocopying machine brought about a substantial change to her life. She met

another brilliant researcher, Dr Drew Weissman. She told him, “I am an mRNA scientist — I can make anything with

mRNA.” Weissman told her he just wanted to make vaccines against HIV. Kariko said, “Yeah, yeah, I can do it.” After that,

they worked together for many years exploring the possibilities of mRNA, which led to the development of a vaccine for a

severe infection — COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019).

Finally, two biotech companies, Moderna, in America, and BioNTech, in Germany, took notice of their findings. The

two companies provided money to support Weissman’s lab.

Now, Kariko and Weissman are considered as heroes of COVID-19 vaccine development.

4. Why did Kariko move to America with her family?

A. To find a research partner.

B. To look for a better-paid job.

C. To transform her research project.

D. To continue her research.

5. What was the big companies’ initial attitude to Kariko’s research?

A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Tolerant.

6. What was Dr Drew Weissman’s focus before he met Kariko?

A. Putting mRNA into practice.

B. Making COVID-19 vaccines.

C. Developing vaccines against HIV.

D. Seeking help from big companies.

7. What can we learn from Kariko’s story?

A. Never say no to your dream.

B. Time is money.

C. Never too late to learn.

D. Practice makes perfect.

Harbin has witnessed a significant boom that has caused it to trend on social media this winter. By December 20, 2023,

the city airport's annual passenger throughput had gone beyond 20 million. According to a new report, during the three-day

New Year holiday, Harbin received 3.05 million tourists and made income of 5.91 billion yuan, both of which reached

those unable to book hotels, the government opened the Provincial People's Congress Service Center for low-cost stays.

"For individual travelers, a city's infrastructure ( 基础设施) and public services form the foundation of tourism
