Many of us love
Jul
y because it’s the month when
nature’s
berries
and
stone
fruits
are
in
abundance.
These
colorful
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 care 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 fruits 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
-serv
e”
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.
C. They have a pleasant taste.
D. They
are rich in
antioxidants.
25.
Why is fresh
lemon juice used in freezing bananas
A. To make them smell better.
B.
To
keep
their
colour.
C. To
speed up their ripening.
D. To improve their
nutrition.
24.
What is “a
juicer” in the last paragraph
A. A dessert.
B. A drink.
C. A
container.
D. A
machine.
25.
From which is the text probably
taken
A. A biology textbook.
B. A health magazine.
C. A research paper.
C. A travel 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
f
rom
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
had
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.
At the end
of school approaches, and school vacation reading
lists loom(
逼近
)
ahead, parents might take the 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
C.
In
paragraph
4
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 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
is
possible
that
we
all
have
compromised
conversational
intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us
start
a
conversation
because
it’s
awk
ward
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
sma
ll 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
Indian
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,” 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 research 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.
B.
Relating
to
other
people.
C.
Focusing on a topic.
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 a 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
C. Benefits of 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.
