B

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

or

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.

C

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

9

/

32

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.

B. In paragraph 3.

D. In paragraph 5.

C. In paragraph 4.

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

tha

t

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

13

/

32

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,” say

s

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.

C. It matters as much as formal talk.

D

. It makes people feel good.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Conversation Counts

B. Ways of Making Small Talk

D. Uncomfortable Silence

C. Benefits of Small Talk
