Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone
fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s
fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because
of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc
(not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in
antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are
high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for
cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin
C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an
excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this
purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin
and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of
fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas
will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the
freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries
or sliced fruit. Out comes a
"soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity
for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the
top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They are high in vitamin
A.

A. To make them smell better.
B. To keep their
colour.

nutrition.

A. A dessert.

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common
Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in
the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and
indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, "the proportion(比例) who say they
‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent
of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and27 percent respectively today."
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages
2—8,remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session
has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建
议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading.
It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to
concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents
serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.
Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers,
have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more
often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼
近)ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading
list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B.
Quality
of
children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D.
Parent-child
relationships.
29. Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less
for fun"?
A. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 4.
B. In paragraph 3.
D. In paragraph 5.
30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of
time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D.
E-readers
are
expensive.
31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book
reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D.
Talk
with
their
reading class teachers.
D
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded
by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling
with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational
intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s
awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next
time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble.
Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep
relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small
talk is the grease( 润 滑 剂 ) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci,
director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "
Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,"
he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with
others, not just communicate with them."
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC,
invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an
interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The
results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly
higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It’s not that
talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But
