Moon cakes filled with lab-grown meat will go on sale in China for the first time in September.

The product was developed by a lab team from the Beijing Technology and Business University.

There are two kinds of artificial meat:One is vegan meat made mainly from bean protein（蛋白質）, the other is real meat grown from animal stem cells（干細胞）.

The artificial meat stuffed in these moon cakes is plant-based, which has low environmental costs and can reduce wasting animal husbandry resources. It is also suitable for people with high blood sugar, high blood pressure or high blood fats to eat, according to the researchers.

The artificial meat aims to imitate（模仿）real animal meat in these aspects:color, smell, taste, texture and sound, said LI Jian, who leads the university lab team. Many people don't understand the sound component（部分）, Li said. "When we stir-fry sliced meat or deep-fry fish, the meat will produce an appetizing crackling sound. This sound is what we want to achieve with our artificial meat," he explained.

In the city I live in, some seats on every bus come in orange color, different from the rest which are blue. Those seats are intended for (預留) a certain group of people—the old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats i1. of the orange ones if possible.

One day, my friend Lisa got on a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She hesitated(猶豫) for a moment and slowly walked to it and s2. down. As the bus went on, passengers(乘客) gather from stop to stop and the bus became really crowded(擁擠) . At that time, someone near the door asked loudly if there was anybody who would like to o3. a seat to the old man who had just got on the bus. On hearing it, Lisa looked a4. to see where the old man was. She was even about to get up but found it d5. for her to stand up. Thinking that someone near the old man would help him, she remained(保持) seated. In fact, she had another r6. for sitting but she said nothing. To her s7. , she soon became the target of criticism(批評的目標) from some people standing beside her.

“Shameless,” a voice said.

“Morality decays(道德敗壞),” another voice added.

Lisa kept s8. as the short conversation went. She didn’t want to say anything. She “should” feel ashamed(羞愧). Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment(尷尬).

If you were a passenger on that bus, would you stand out against her and blame(責怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadn’t known the story of Lisa’s side, I would. However, the truth is: Lisa had just a small o9. in hospital last week and was in recovery (恢復). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s10. as much as possible. The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.

Falling down in public is terrible for most people. However, a new social media craze（熱潮）called the “Falling Stars Challenge” has turned falling into something fun to do.

The craze began in Russia. It was most popular among young people. They posted pictures of themselves lying face down as though（好像）they had just fallen over. Some items like handbags, decorations and money were spread out on the ground around them in the photos. They shared these photos on the Internet to flaunt their wealth.

The craze soon became popular around the world. In China, however, it is taking on a new meaning. People are using it to flaunt their hobbies and talents. The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their work.
