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 fie
lds
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

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.

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
intellig
ence. It
‘s
more likely that none of us start a
conver
sation 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.
＂
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,
＂
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.
（

What phenomenon is described in the
first paragraph?

study suggest about small talk?

When I was 17, I read a
magazine article about a museum called the McNay,
once the home of a
watercolorist named
Marian McNay. She had requested the community to
turn it into a museum
upon her death.
On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the
museum. She asked,
have the address?
The
museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of
people sitting in the hall stopped talking
and stared at us.

There‘s
a new frontier in 3D printing that‘s
beg
inning to come into focus: food.
Recent
development has made possible
machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a
mass scale. And
the industry isn‘t stopping
there.
Food
production
With a 3D
printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate
sculptures and beautiful pieces for
decoration on a wedding cake. Not
everybody can do that
—
it
takes years of experience, but a
printer makes it easy. A restaurant in
Spain uses a Foodini to
―re
-cre
ate forms and pieces‖
of foo
d
that are ―exactly
the same,‖ freeing co
oks to complete
other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the
dishes and desserts it serves are
3D-printed,rather than farm to table.
<
/p>
Sustainability(
可持续性）
The global population is expected to
grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts
estimate that
food production will need
to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current
levels. Sustainability is
becoming a
necessity. 3D food printing could probably
contribute to the solution. Some experts
believe printers could use
hydrocolloids
(
水解胶体
) from
plentiful renewables like
algae(
藻类
)
and
grass to replace the familiar
ingredients(
烹饪原料
). 3D
printing can reduce fuel use and
emissions. Grocery stores of the future
might stock
space and reducing
transportation and storage
requirements.
Nutrition
Future
3D food printers could make processed food
healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at
Columbia University, said, ―Food
printing could allow consumers to print food with
customized
nutritional content, like
vitamins. So instead
of eating a piece
of yesterday‘s bread from the
supermarket, you‘d eat something baked
just for you on demand.‖
Challenges
Despite recent advancements in 3D food
printing, the industry has many challenges to
overcome.
Currently, most ingredients
must be changed to a
paste(
糊状物
) before a printer
can use them, and
the printing process
is quite time-consuming, because ingredients
interact with each other in very
complex ways. On top of that, most of
the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry
ingredients,
because meat and milk
products may easily go bad. Some experts are
skeptical about 3D food
printers,
believing they are better suited for fast food
restaurants than homes and high-end
restaurants.
（
1
）
What benefit does
3D printing bring to food production?
helps cooks to create new
dishes.
saves time and
effort in cooking.
improves
the cooking conditions.
contributes to restaurant decorations.
（
2
）
Wha
t can we learn about 3D food printing from
Paragraphs 3?
solves food
shortages easily.
quickens
the transportation of food.
needs no space for the storage of food.
uses renewable materials as sources of
food.
（

According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed
food ________.
more
available to consumers
meet
individual nutritional needs
more tasty than food in supermarkets
keep all the nutrition in raw
materials
（

）
What is the main factor that
prevents 3D food printing from spreading
widely?
printing process is
complicated.
B.3D food
printers are too expensive.
materials have to be dry.
experts doubt 3D food printing.
（

What could
be the best title of the passage?

Give
yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing?
How many kinds of wildflowers can be
seen from your front door? If your
awareness is as sharp as it could be, you‘ll have
no trouble
answering these
questions.
Most of us
ob
served much more as children than we
do as adults. A child‘s day is filled with
fascination, newness and wonder.
Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But
distinctions that
were sharp to us as
children become unclear; we are
numb(
麻木的）
to new
stimulation(
刺激
),
new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing
the world around us is quite simple, although it
takes
practice and requires breaking
some bad habits.
The first
step in awakening senses is to stop predicting
what we are going to see and feel before it
occurs. This blocks awareness. One
chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky
Mountains with
some students, I
mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain
stream. The students began
complaining
about how cold it would be. We reached the stream,
and they unwillingly walked
ahead. They
were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a
hot spring. Later they all admitted
they‘d felt cold water at
first.
Another block to
awareness is the
obsession(
痴迷
) many of us
have with naming things. I saw
bird
watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it
up in field guides, and said, a
crowned
kinglet
what it was doing.
The pressures of
hikers who
were headed to a distant camp-ground with just
enough time to get there before dark. It
seldom occurred to
them to
wander a bit, to take a moment to see what‘s
around them. I asked

Cities usually have a
good reason for being where they are, like a
nearby port or river. People
settle in
these places because they are easy to get to and
naturally suited to communications and
trade. New York City, for example, is
near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson
River. Over
300 years its population
grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But
not all cities develop
slowly over a
long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing
almost overnight. In 1896,
Dawson,
Canada, was unmapped
wilderness(
荒野
). But gold was
discovered there in 1897, and
two years
later, it was one of the largest cities in the
West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural
conveniences of cities like London or Paris.
People went
there for gold. They
travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed
hundreds of miles up icy
rivers. The
path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet
snow that could fall without
warming.
An avalanche(
雪崩
) once closed
the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it
to
Dawson, however, the rewards were
worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000
people who dug
for gold, 4,000 got
rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the
rest of their lives.
But no
matter how rich they were, Dawson was never
comfortable. Necessities like food and wood
were very expensive. But soon, the gold
that Dawson depended on had all been found. The
city
was crowded with disappointed
people with no interest in settling down, and when
they heard
there were new gold
discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as
quickly as they had come.
Today, people
still come and go

While
famous foreign architects are invited to lead the
designs of landmark buildings in China
such as the new CCTV tower and the
National Center for the Performing Arts, many
excellent
Chinese architects are making
great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven
fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese
architect, won the 2012
Pritzker
Architecture Prize
—
which
is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in
architecture
—
on
February 28. He is the first Chinese
citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture
Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His
office is located at the Xiangshan
campus(
校园
) of the university
in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Many
buildings on the campus are his original
creations.
The style of the
campus is quite different from that of most
Chinese universities. Many visitors
were amazed by the complex
architectural space and abundant building types.
The curves(
曲线
)
of
the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of
hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million
abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the
workers to
use traditional techniques
to make the bricks into walls, roofs and
corridors. This creation attracted
a
lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern
and traditional Chinese
elements(
元素
).
Wang‘s works show a deep
unders
tanding of modern architecture
and a good knowledge of
traditions.
Through such a balance, he had created a new type
of Chinese architecture, said Tadao
Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker
Prize.
Wang believes
traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at
museums.
that traditions once
existed,
things from the
past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things
that have been developing and that
are
still being created,
Chinese traditions. Many
people tend to talk about traditions without
knowing what they really are,
The study of
traditions should be combined with practice.
Otherwise, the recreation of traditions
would be artificial and empty, he
said.

Adults understand what it
feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we
often assume that
more is more when it
comes to kids and their belongings? The good news
is that I can help my
own kids learn
earlier than I did how to live more with
less.
I found the pre-
holidays a good time to encourage young children
to donate less-used things, and it
worked. Because of our efforts, our
daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag
of toys to a
little girl whose mother
was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness.
She chose to sell a few
larger objects
that were less often used when we promised to put
the money into her school
fund(

For weeks, I've been

make it a habit for them?
And how do we
train ourselves to help them live with, need, and
use less? Yesterday, I sat with
my son,
Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on
this. I decided to play with him with only
one toy for as long as it would keep
his interest. I expected that one toy would keep
his attention
for about five minutes,
ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-
simple, universally available.
We
passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he
tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it,
throwing it.
It was totally, completely enough for
him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it
was time to
move on to
lunch.
We both became
absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He
had my full attention and I had
his. My

worked for both of us.

We may think we're a
culture that gets rid of our worn technology at
the first sight of
something shiny and
new, but a new study shows that we keep using our
old devices(
装置
) well
after they go out of style. That‘s bad
news for the environment —
and our
wallets
—
as these
outdated devices consume much more
energy than the newer ones that do the same
things.
To figure out how
much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt
and her colleagues at the
Rochester
Institute of Technology in New York tracked the
environmental costs for each product
throughout its life
—
from when its minerals are
mined to when we stop using the device. This
method provided a readout for how home
energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.
Devices

Desktop computers, basic
mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined

scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and

tablets and e-readers showed up in
2007.
As we accumulated more

consumers replaced old products with new
electronics that
serve more than one

that more on-

In 1812,
the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66
novels published in Britain. People
had
been writing novels for a
century
—
most experts date
the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in
1719
—
but nobody
wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered
printing press was still in its
early
stages; the literacy
（识字）
rate in England was under 50%. Many works of
fiction
appeared wi
thout the
names of the authors, often with something like
―By a lady.‖Novels, for the
most part,
were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain
bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died,
the world mourned him as its first professional
writer and publisher,
famous and
beloved, who had led an explosion in both the
publication of novels and their
readership and whose characters
—
from Oliver Twist to Tiny
Tim
—
were held up as moral
touchstones. Today Dickens‘
great
ness is unchallenged. Removing him
from the
pantheon
（名人
堂）
of
English literature would make about as much sense
as the Louvre selling off the Mona
Lisa.
How did
Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings
readers attach to stories, literature is a
numbers game, and the test of time is
extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels
were
published during the Victorian
age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might
be able to
name a half-
dozen
of them. It‘s partly true that Dickens‘ style of
writing attra
cted audiences from
all walks of life. It‘s partly that his
writings rode a wave of social, political and
scientific progress.
But it‘s also that
he rewrote the culture of literature and put
himself at the center. No one will ever
know what mix of talent, ambition,
energy and luck made Dickens such a singular
writer. But as
the 200th anniversary of
his birth approaches, it is possible
—
and important for our own
culture
—
to
understand how he made himself a lasting
one.

Steven Stein likes to
follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes
sense when you consider
that he‘s an
environmental scientist who studies how to reduce
litter, including things that fall off
garbage trucks as they drive down the
road. What is even more interesting is that one of
Stein's
jobs is defending an industry
behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion
thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up
in tree
branches or along highways that
a growing number of cities do not allow them at
checkouts(
收银
台
) .
The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in
California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these
headwinds, plastic-bag makers are
hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that
their products
are not as bad for the
planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument: many
cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase
paper
bags, which are easily recycled
but require more energy to produce and transport.
And while
plastic bags may be ugly to look at,
they represent a small percentage of all garbage
on the ground
today
The industry has also taken aim at the
product that has appeared as its replacement:
reusable
shopping bags. The stronger a
reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more
plastic-bag use it
cancels out.
However, longer-lasting reusable bags often
require more energy to make. One study
found that a cotton bag must be used at
least 131 times to be better for the planet than
plastic.
Environmentalists
don't dispute
（质疑）
these
points. They hope paper bags will be banned
someday too and want shoppers to use
the same reusable bags for years.

As
cultural symbols go, the American car is quite
young. The Model T Ford was built at the
Piquette Plant in Michigan a century
ago, with the first rolling off the assembly
line
（装配线）
on
September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced
the next month. But eventually Henry
Ford would build fifteen million of
them.
Modern America was
born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped
some of the most lasting
aspects of
American culture: the roadside diner, the
billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For
most of the last century, the car
represented what it meant to be

If
you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better
have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop
carmakers are unlikely to beat the
biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small
farmers can get
the best of the major
players. By connecting directly with customers,
and by responding quickly to
changes in
the markets as well as in the
ecosystems(
生态系统）
, small
farmers can keep one step
ahead of the
big guys. As the co-founder of the National Young
Farmers Coalition (NYFC,
美国
青年农会）
and a
family farmer myself. I have a front-row seat to
the innovations among small
farmers
that are transforming the industry.
For example, take the Quick Cut Greens
Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years
ago by
a young farmer, Jonathan
Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a
local Slow Money
group. It enables
small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green
vegetables per hour
—
a huge
improvement over harvesting just a few
dozen pounds by
hand
—
suddenly making it
possible for
the little guys to compete
with large farms of California. Before the tool
came out, small farmers
couldn't touch
the price per pound offered by California farms.
But now, with the combination of a
better price point and a generally
fresher product, they can stay in
business.
The sustainable
success of small farmers, though, won't happen
without fundamental changes to
the
industry. One crucial factor is secure access to
land. Competition from investors. developers,
and established large farmers makes
owning one's own land unattainable for many new
farmers.
From 2004 to 2013,
agricultural land values doubled, and they
continue to rise in many regions.
Another challenge for more than a
million of the most qualified farm workers and
managers is a
non-existent path to
citizenship
—
the greatest
barrier to building a farm of their own. With
farmers over the age of 65
outnumbering(
多于）
farmers
younger than 35 by six to one, and with
two-thirds of the nation's farmland in
need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for
talented
people willing to grow the
nation's food.
There are
solutions that could light a path toward a more
sustainable and fair farm economy, but
farmers can't clumsily put them
together before us. We at the NYFC need broad
support as we
urge Congress to increase
farmland conservation, as we push for immigration
reform, and as we
seek policies that
will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious
next generation of farms from
all
backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in
Congress, consumers must take a stand
with young farmers.

warned.
It found many
youngsters(

their status by how much public approval they get

change their behavior in real life to improve
their image on the
web.
The report into youngsters aged from 8
to 12 was carried out by Children's Commissioner
(
专员）
Anne Longfield. She said
social media firms were exposing children to major
emotional risks,
with some youngsters
starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope
with the tremendous pressure
they faced
online.
Some social apps
were popular among the children even though they
supposedly require users to

youngsters admitted planning trips around
potential photo-opportunities and

posts.
The report found that
youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk
if they did not respond to
social media
posts quickly, and around the clock. Children aged
8 to 10 were
happy
with how
many people like their posts
stronger
the older they become.
Miss
Longfield warned that a generation of children
risked growing up

England's
study

—
found that children as
young as 8 were using social media
platforms largely for play.
However, the
research
—
involving eight
groups of 32 children aged 8 to
12
—
suggested that as
they headed toward their teens, they
became increasingly anxious online.
By the time they started secondary
school
—
at age
11
—
children were already far
more aware of
their image online and
felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts
were popular, the report found.
However, they still did not know how to
cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of
incompetence they might feel if they
compared themselves to
celebrities(
名人）
or more
brilliant
friends online. The report
said they also faced pressure to respond to
messages at all hours of the
day
—
especially at
secondary school when more youngsters have mobile
phones.
The Children‘s
Commissioner said schools and parents must now do
more to prepare children for
the
emotional minefield(
雷区）
they
faced online. And she said social media companies
must also
sign up too early,
or they should adjust their websites to the needs
of younger users.
Javed
Khan, of children's charity Bamardo's, said:
relationship and sex education lessons
in England should help equip children to deal with
the
growing demands of social
media.
―It‘s also hugely
important for parents to know which apps their
children are using.‖
