    Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag
    Difficulty: Very Easy
    Average User Rating:★★★★☆(4.3/5)
    Milk can become homemade ice cream in five minutes by using a bag! This homemade, creamy treat is a summertime delight for your kids and you alike.
    What you’ll need:
    1 tablespoon of sugar; 1/2 cup of milk; 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla (香草香精); 6 tablespoons of rock salt; 1 small-sized plastic food storage bag; 1 gallon-sized plastic food storage bag; ice cubes.
    How to make it:
    l Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
    l Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
    l Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
    l Shake until the mixture turns into ice cream, which takes about five minutes.
    l Wipe the top of the small bag, and then open it carefully. Enjoy!
    Tips:
    1/2 cup of milk will make about one spoon of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don’t increase the amount more than that—a large amount might be too big for kids to pick up because the ice itself is heavy.
    Here is another version of the homemade ice cream recipe from another parent!
    These are the homemade ice cream ingredients:
    1/4 teaspoon of vanilla butter and nuts; 1 tablespoon of sugar; 1/2 cup of milk.
    These are the other supplies:
    Plastic sandwich bag; 12 salt pellets; 1 dish of ice; large plastic bag.
    Put the ice cream ingredients in the small bag, and then put the bag, salt and ice in the big bag. Hold the bag shut and move it around on the floor for about 5 minutes.
    When I made ice cream at home last time, although the salt pellets didn’t really dissolve (溶解) that well, I still got ice cream. It was not smooth ice cream, probably because of the low-fat milk. It was incredible that it could be ready in 5 minutes (not counting preparing the ingredients)
    Next, I changed the recipe, using a tablespoon of cocoa, a tablespoon of sugar, and a cup of milk. It was a bit too chocolaty, but good!
    小题1:The underlined “that” in “Tips” section refers to ____.
    A．1/2 cup of milkB．1 cup of milk
    C．1 spoon of ice creamD．2 spoons of ice cream
    小题2:Which of the following things is NOT included in both recipes?
    A．SugarB．Ice C．Plastic bagD．Nuts
    小题3:Which of the following statements about the second parent is TRUE?
    A．He/ She doesn’t agree with the first parent.
    B．He/ She doesn’t think five minutes is enough
    C．He/ She doesn’t like cocoa better than nuts.
    D．He/ She doesn’t think the chocolaty tastes bad.

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:D

    试题分析：本文讲述了两个配方的家庭自制冰激凌的做法。
    小题1:B 推理题。根据本句1/2 cup of milk will make about one spoon of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don’t increase the amount more than that说明1/2就可以制作one spoon，如果你还想多的，就加倍，那么就是一杯，但是数量不要再超过这个量了，那么这里的that就是指一杯的牛奶。故B项正确。
    小题2:D 细节题。根据文章的两个配方可知都需要糖，冰和塑料袋，没有提及都使用nuts故D项符合要求。
    小题3:D 推理题。根据This homemade, creamy treat is a summertime delight for your kids and you alike.说明在夏天这样的冰激凌对于孩子们来说是很快乐的事情，那么说明这样的冰激凌的味道很好，故D项正确。
    点评：本文讲述了两个配方的家庭自制冰激凌的做法。此类文章的最大的障碍是词汇以及考生对阅读内容的不熟悉，需要考生在阅读的时候有足够的耐心，同上抓住文章的中心，不要受其他信息的影响。要根据题目及选项以及文章的上下文串联合理的判断推理。

    Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”, “focus” and “delegate” and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.
    FOCUS
    Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
    HEALTH
    I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check , not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.
    CELEBRATE
    What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.

    C．has several things to do at the same time
    D．pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping

    A．He wants to take better care of others.
    B．He’s gaining weight and feeling bad.
    C．He did not take any exercise in the past.
    D．He got the idea from his son.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The word “CELEBRATE” can remind the writer to enjoy life.
    B．The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.
    C．The word “FOCUS” can help the writer focus on his family.

    What Is a Boy?
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males send them off to bed at night.
    Boys are found everywhere –--  on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
    When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature destroying the world and himself with it
    A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion (消化) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker(鞭炮), but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.
    He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
    Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.
    A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”
    小题1:The whole passage is in a tone (语气) of _________.
    A．respect and harmonyB．humor and love
    C．hope and expectationD．confidence and imagination
    小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence?
    A．He has altogether five fingers.B．He is slow, foolish and clumsy.
    C．He becomes clever and smart. D．He cuts his hand with a knife.
    小题3:According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except _________.
    A．ice creamB．comic books
    C．Saturday morningsD．Sunday schools
    小题4:What does the writer feel about boys?
    A．He feels curious about their noise.B．He is tired of these creatures.
    C．He is amazed by their naughtiness. D．He feels unsafe staying with them.

    Everyone has got two personalities(个性)—one shown to the world and the other secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
    If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feeling. You are quiet, shy and you aren’t very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you are always easily upset. You're very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious(有野心的). You usually live for today, not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
    If you sleep curled(卷曲) up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself, so you are often defensive. You are shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You are easily hurt.
    If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced(通情达理的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You are usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed(沮丧的). You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Two personalities.
    B．Proper sleeping positions.
    C．Sleeping positions and personalities.
    D．Ways to tell your real personalities.
    小题2:According to the text, you naturally show your secret  personality when_____.
    A．you are awake
    B．you are asleep
    C．you can't control your behaviour
    D．you change your sleeping position
    小题3:Tom is used to sleeping on his side. Which of the following can NOT describe him?
    A．Well-balanced.B．Careful.
    C．Selfish.D．Anxious sometimes.
    小题4:If you are shy and often defensive, you are used to sleeping____.

    Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home . So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
    The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and, the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
    I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes I saw that, it’s nothing.”
    Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said.  “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me’?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
    小题1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer     .
    A．was rather impolite B．was warmly received
    C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
    小题2:The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper     .
    A．changed his mind B．saw the writer’s purpose
    C．accepted the offer D．decided to help the writer
    小题3:How much did the writer pay?
    A．£5B．£7C．£20D．£27
    小题4:From the text, we can learn that the writer was         .

    Molly was a peasant girl. Her parents did not have much money and Molly did not have many nice clothes.
    One day Molly’s father said to her, “Molly, take this pot of milk to market and sell it. You may keep the money.”
    Molly was very happy. She put the pot of milk on her head and started her journey to market. While she was walking alone she began to think. “I will get quite a lot of money for this milk,” she thought. “What will I do with the money? I will buy a lot of eggs. I will take the eggs home with me. One of our hens will sit on them. Then there will be lots of little chickens. I will not sell the chickens. They will grow into hens. Then there will be more eggs. And these eggs will give me still more chickens. Soon I will have hundreds of hens. Then I will sell them all. They will bring me a lot of money. I will be rich. I will buy lots of new clothes. I will always wear nice clothes. Then a rich man will marry me. We will have a beautiful house, a big car and nice children...”
