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.

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.

26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?

A. A dessert.

B. A drink.

C. A container.

D. A machine.

27. From which is the text probably taken?

A. A biology textbook.

B. A health magazine.

C. A research paper.

D. 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 from 8 percent of 13

-

year

-

olds and 9 percent of 17

-

y ear

-

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.

B. In paragraph 3.

D. In paragraph 5.

C. Children’s after

-

class activities.

A. In paragraph 2.

C. In paragraph 4.

29. Where can you find the data that best supports

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.

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

amon

g

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.

“

I

t’s

not

that

talking

to

the

waiter

is

better

than

talking

to

your

husband,”

says

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 a formal talk.

D. It makes people feel good.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Conversation Counts

C. Benefits of Small Talk

D. Uncomfortable Silence

B. Ways of Making Small Talk
