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 form 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.

D.

They

are

rich

in

antioxidants.

B. To keep their colour.

D. To improve their nutrition.

C. They have a pleasant taste.

A. To make them smell better.

C. To speed up their ripening.

D. One

week.

25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?

brochure.

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 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. 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

A. In paragraph 2.

B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D.

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 then to write book reports.

C. Set up reading groups for them. D. Talk with their reading class teachers.

or,

struggling

with

the

uncomfortable

silence.
