D. One week.

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 fro

m 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

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.

D. Parent

-

child relationships.

C. Children’s after

-

class activities.

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.

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.
