火锅(hot pot)是中国的传统饮食方式之一，拥有几千年的历史。在寒冷的冬天，人们喜欢吃能立即暖身和提神的火锅。如今在许多现代家庭里，用煤炭加热的(coal-heated)传统火锅已经被电磁炉(induction cooker)火锅所取代。各地火锅风格各异，所使用的火锅原料也不尽相同。一般来说，用于火锅的肉类包括猪肉、牛肉、鸡肉、鸭肉等，其他的菜则包括蔬菜、蘑菇、面条等。
家庭是社会的基本单位，其结构随着社会的发展而变化。在中国几千年的
封建社会
(feudal society)里，绝大部分家庭是几世同堂，家里的大事由男人做主。近百年来，中国的家庭观念发生了很大的变化，中国家庭的结构也随之改变了许多。人口众多的大家庭开始分成较小的家庭和
主干家庭
(stem family)，也出现了众多的由一对夫妇和未婚子女组成的
核心家庭
(nuclear family)。

In Sao Paulo, a baby boy is smiling, unaware that a court is deciding his fate. If it finds in his father's favor, he is in all kinds of trouble. There may be a law in Brazil against giving your child a name that might cause him to be laughed at, but daddy wants to call his son Osama bin Laden. The same father, Osvaldo Oliveira Soares, has a habit of trying to use babies as political statements. Nine years ago, he was banned from naming a previous son Saddam Hussein. Unlike Brazil, there is no law in Britain that restricts a parent's right to name their child. "It's not for the officials to say if someone has picked a name they don't think is suitable," says Alison Cathcart, superintendent official at Westminster register office. "But if someone is from a different culture and wants to register a name that sounds like a swear word in English then we do advise them of that." "Naming does matter," says Helen Petrie, a professor at the City University of London and a researcher looking into the psychology of naming. "We have fixed beliefs of what sort of people are behind certain names. There are studies of teachers in primary schools in the US that show they rate children with certain names as less capable." "The name is the first thing we find out when we meet someone. If you call your child an unusual silly name like Fifi Trixibelle, as did Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, it can make life hard for you—especially if you want to be smart and are not in the least bit superficial." There's also the class factor. "Fifty years ago there was no cross-over of names between classes. Now everyone can buy Tatter and see the name Tarquin," says Petrie. "Until the 60s, Tracey was a fashionable Chelsea name. Now it has a terrible image fixed in people's mind. I've interviewed some Traceys who find their name a huge burden. However high up they may be in their profession, people hear their name and think they're the cleaner."
秧歌舞(Yangko Dance)是中国的一种传统民间舞蹈，在东北地区最为流行。秧歌舞者通常穿上鲜艳多彩的表演服装，舞蹈动作迅速而有力。过去在农村，大型的秧歌队是为婚礼、生日宴会等场合组建的。春节期间，人们挨家挨户去扭秧歌，庆祝新年的到来并传承老一辈传统。如今在东北，许多老年人通过跳秧歌舞来保持身体健康。
