Many

of

us

love

July

because

it’s

the

month

when

nature’s

berries

and

stone

fruits

are

in

abundance.

These

colourful

an

d

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 (

),

D. One week.

they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.

When

combined

with

berries

or

slices

of

other

fruits,

frozen

bananas

make

an

excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For t

his 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

fruit

bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.

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.

第

页（共

Acc

ording

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 and 27 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.

C. Children’s after

-class activities.

B. Quality of children’s books.

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.

C. It may harm children’s health.

B. It could be a waste of time.

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 b

een 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 con

versational

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 tal

king to your husband,” say Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (

边

缘的

) members of our social network matter for our well-

being also.”

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater

sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of

belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.

32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?

A. Addiction to smartphones.

B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.

C. Absence of communication between strangers.

D. Impatience with slow service.

33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?

A. Showing good manners.

C. Focusing on a topic.

B. Relating to other people.

D. Making business deals.

34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?

A. It improves family relationships.

B. It raises people’s confidence.

D. It makes people feel good.

C. It matters as much as formal talk.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Conversation Counts

C. Benefits of Small Talk

B. Ways of Making Small Talk

D. Uncomfortable Silence

If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy

lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out.

36

Working out in the

morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.

● Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to

handle whatever is ahead of you for the day.

37

● Your metabolism (

新陈代谢

) gets a head start.

38

If you work out in the

mornings, then you will be getting the calorie (

卡路里

) burning benefits for the whole

day, not in your sleep.

●

39

Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better

than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult

to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.

●

If

you

work

out

bright

and

early

in

the

morning,

you

will

be

more

likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin

their

good

workout

by

eating

junk

food?

You

will

want

to

continue

to

focus

on

positive choices.
