　　SHANG HAI :Slim 21-year-old Huang Wenxian is a woman of many talents. She is not merely beautiful and clever ,she also knows the correct way to eat a banana.First you take the fruit, cut it open with a knife and then slice it into small pieces which you eat with a fork.“You would do this on a formal occasion or in front of somebody that you respect,” she says. Huang is one of an elite group of girls at the Shanghai Normal University Women's College ,who have been admitted to study Chinese Literature or Public Relations at China's first State funded finishing school.

The curriculum includes ordinary coursework as well as Japanese, English, embroidery(刺繡),the tea ceremony and Chinese and Western table manners.?

Many of the finer points of femininity(婦女氣質(zhì)) lapsed when women were urged to strive for equal rights and forget their feudal traditions, said course director Professor Sun Xun.

“After 1949,government policies emphasized women's rights so there were no women's colleges; they went to ordinary colleges,”he said.?

　　In the 1990s,the idea of all female colleges resurfaced. However, the new breed of women's colleges are not aiming to be centers of academic excellence modelled on Girton at Cambridge or Radcliffe on the U.S. east coast.?

　　Rather, these ,new finishing schools are modeled on the Swiss ideal of turning out young ladies who know how best to get out of a car, or arrange a bunch of flowers.? “We started the women's college because although there is emphasis on women's equality in society ,women's special talents are different,” said Sun.?

　　With China entering the World Trade Organization and the country's big cities becoming more cosmopolitan(世界性的),young people need to grasp international manners to succeed in business.?

　　Suggestions that these schools will merely turn out “Flower vases”—Chinese slang for trophy women who are empty but beautiful—are denied by the administration and students.“I can answer that accusation with facts, we are very capable. There is one girl in my course who already has written her first novel. Perhaps other people are just jealous,” said Huang.?

　　One woman who is sure that finishing schools will gain ground in China is June Yamada ,a Japanese entrepreneur who aims to set up a “Style Academy” in partnership with the Jinmao Group that co-owns Shanghai's Grand Hyatt hotel.?

　　Yamada hopes to sell training courses to corporations or aspiring career girls who want to work for international firm but still spit their chicken bones onto the table.?

“People need elegance .They need manners, and that is not the kind of thing that you find in university,” she explains.?

　　Shanghai Normal University, accepts only girls over 1.62 meters for Women's College courses because many companies place an emphasis on women being tall and pretty before considering them for jobs.?

　　But while many Chinese films do set height standards, the idea is unknown at multinationals.“I've seldom seen that kind of thing. As I recall, my secretary was quite short,” says Shah Olynik ,a public relations consultant who formerly worked for a major U.S.PR firm.?

When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell how dragons have killed brave knights and eaten beautiful young girls.

For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual (儀式).

China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. Another country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, a tiny country between China and India.

Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol representing their countries. This is particularly obvious during sports. The English think lions to be brave and proud animal and the English football teams have three lions on their football shirts.

Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a type of small kangaroo.The South African team is known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope. Likewise the New Zealanders, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can’t fly.

All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shang hai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an Internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon.

       Consumers at the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant are led by a waiter with night vision Goggles(夜視鏡). Inside Dark Restaurant in Beijing, a table of 30 diners was getting quarrelsome. “I’m touching your head!”said one, like a talkative child. “Who just said that?”another replied. Such voices floated across the 90-plus-seat restaurant, but no one could see who was talking, except the waiters, who were equipped with military-grade night-vision goggles.

       In the new conceptual dining, restaurants are turning off the lights to focus attention on the food. The trend seems to have started in Zurich and has since spread all over the world, with diners sitting in unlit rooms and, lately, being served by waiters in night-vision goggles. The idea is that by depriving(剝奪) one sense (sight), other senses are heightened.

       Darkness has other benefits. ''Chinese people tend to be shy,'' said Chen Long, who owns Whale Inside Dark, which opened in January. ''People have found it easy to break the ice here.''

       The first dark restaurant, which opened in Zurich in 1999, had a simple intention. The goal ''was creating jobs for the blind and handicapped people,'' said the manager. The concept has been popular in Paris, London, Sydney and elsewhere, offering new variations on sight deprivation, by which people can experience a lot in a completely dark condition.

       In Beijing, the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant is not only about heightening the sense of taste, but lowering social inhibitions(壓抑). It is popular with Internet daters, who met on matchmaking Web sites that are spreading throughout China. Diner for two is about 225 yuan, or $29 at 7.76 yuan to the dollar.

       Eating in the dark is not without its troubles. Instead of family-style dining, food is served on single-serving plates. When each dish arrives, the server guides your hand to the plate and offers helpful tips like, ''This course is eaten with a spoon.''

       The style seems to be working . ''People feel a lot more comfortable when they can't be seen by others,'' said Mr. Chen, who is opening a second branch in Shang-hai, ''Couples get to know each other without seeing other's faces.''
