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 power houses 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
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
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.

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,
（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.
（

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.
and each
big business deal begins with small
talk,
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.
Dunn.
（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.

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.
（
1
）
______ Working out in
the morning provides additional benefits beyond
being physically
fit.
Your

more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead
of you for
the day.

burning benefits
for the whole day, not in your sleep.
（

slept better than those who exercised in the

is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful
sleep when you are very excited.
（
5
）
______ If you work
out bright and early in the morning, you will be
more likely to stick to healthy food choices
throughout the day. Who would want to
ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You
will want to continue to
focus on
positive choices.

benefits to working out, especially in the
mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and
push
yourself to work out! You will
feel energized all day long.
