prefer food just taken out from the freezer. fruit, candy, nuts, chocolate, cake with butter cream frosting(糖霜), even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. in fact, i often eat them that way.i was a kid when i picked up the habit. in my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer finally, two freezers to prevent them form going bad. among them were some of the candies my sisters and i had collected on halloween.if we eat when they are still warm, well find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. its better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. that way well eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. thats the point about frozen butter cream frosting. put it in your mouth at room temperature, and its gone very quickly. but when its frozen , you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.the freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. take frozen grapes for example. i keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. they become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved. they are perfect and healthy dessert. this is the same with oranges, apples, bananasyou might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen. wrong! they become cool, creamy and sweet. if you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.as long as you arent eating anything that truly has to be hot, go ahead and experiment. 56. what is the passage intended to tell us?a. fruit should be frozen before one eats it.b. frozen food is better than hot food.c. the author prefers frozen food. d. hot food is not healthy.57. the author began to enjoy frozen food when he _.a. was young b. learned cooking c. got married d. got a freezer58. why does the author not advise us to take hot cookies?a. because they need more time to prepare.b. because the taste is not good when they are hot.c. because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.d. because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.59. what does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?a. the taste b. butter cream c. the cookie d. frozen butter cream frosting60. which of the following is the advice the author gives on eating fruit?a. make bananas hardb. keep grapes in a bowl.c. mix kinds of fruits togetherd. add melted chocolate to bananasbhandbags are one of the signature statement for every fashion conscious woman. lauren bush and ellen gustafson have managed to turn this accessory(装饰品) into a necessity in the struggle to feed the worlds hungry children, one handbag at a time. “theres no other choice,” gustafson said. “we have to help them get into school. thats the only choice we have.”the pair met four years ago through their work with the united nations. what they saw inspired the launch of their collection feed. their first bag, a $60 re-usable shopping one, provides a school meal for a child anywhere in the world for a year. “world hunger seems so far away and so overwhelming(势不可挡) for most people,” bush said. “so to know exactly what youre doing is great.”feed now has a dozen styles in some of new yorks most popular stores. prices range from $ 15 to $195. the cost varies because each bag provides help in a different way and says so right on the back.when the earthquake hit haiti, feed designed the “feed haiti 50” bag. it provided 50 school lunches for children there. “that meal that a child gets in school is almost certainly the only proper meal that they get every day,” said marcus prior, un spokesperson in haiti.every year hunger and malnutrition(营养不良) kill more people in developing nations than aids, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. thats 3 million children who never make it to their fifth birthday. 300 million other children go to bed hungry every night.since 2007, feed has donated $5.5 million to the un world food program. “hunger is a very terrible feeling; its a very terrible way to die,” gustafson said. “to know that just through selling a product that theyre getting the most important need for human life food to thrive it is very powerful.”61. the underlined word “they” in para. 2 refers to .a. lauren bush and ellen gustafsonb. the worlds hungry childrenc. fashion conscious womend. the united nations62. whats the purpose of the launch of feed?a. to recycle the waste handbags.b. to help the hungry children.c. to promote the sales of handbags.d. to make all the children receive a good education.63. which of the following is true about the feed handbag?a. it has only one style. b. its price stays the same.c. it is popular with lots of women.d. the help it offers is marked on the back.64. from what gustafson said in the last paragraph, we can infer that .a. she was afraid of dying from hungerb. she was proud of what they didc. she had ever suffered hungerd. she called on people to help the hungry65. whats the best title for the passage?a. disasters that threaten humansb. handbags that attract the richc. fashion that feeds the hungryd. women who save the worldcbridgwater carnival will be held on a saturday, instead of friday, as part of a three year trial from 2012.it is hoped that the decision made by the carnival committee will protect its future and increase donations(募捐), which have been falling, to local charities. the revised dates are set for saturday, 3 november 2012, saturday, 2 november 2013 and saturday 1 november 2014.other carnivals in somerset, like north petherton, which are held on a saturday, wont be affected by the date change.bridgwater carnival is the oldest and longest running carnival in somerset and is part of the somerset county guy fawkes carnival association circuit. other carnivals are north petherton, burnham, glastonbury, shepton mallet, wells and weston.it is not the first time that the carnival has changed dates up until 2001 bridgwater carnival took place on a thursday, but nine years ago organisers took the controversial(有争议的) decision to change the night from a thursday to the friday closest to guy fawkes night.dave stokes, from bridgwater carnival, said, “we dont want to conflict with other carnivals. crowds at bridgwater carnival have remained pretty steady(稳定的) but the actual amount of money that we have been collecting has gone down which is a concern and fundraising is getting more difficult. were hoping that by changing this to a saturday for this trial period, we can change that situation.” in 2014, a final decision will be made. it remains to be seen whether changing the carnival from a friday to a saturday will improve donations.66. bridgwater carnivals date will be changed with the aim of .a. getting more moneyb. attracting more peoplec. competing with other carnivalsd. providing more colorful activities67. according to the passage, in 2000 bridgwater carnival was celebrated on a .a. thursdayb.

once only a dream for millions of people is now a real possibility. if your dream is to gain control over you life, here is some internet home-based business advice that will help.one of the great things about having an internet home business is that you can truly be in control of when, where and how you work. in most paid jobs those three freedoms are denied you because you have to take orders from your boss.people are now much more comfortable with online shopping, and not just from big established companies either. with its widespread brand recognition, paypal is trusted by many online shoppers. it is very easy for anybody to set up a website photograph, some products and add a paypal button! you can be in business within an hour of going online!the biggest problem with a home-based business lies in the very fact that it is a business based at home! the familiar and comfortable home environment leads people into the biggest trap of all when starting an internet business, which is to take too many breaks, to get distracted(分心) by non-essential stuff on the internet and, in short, not to work hard enough.the best internet marketing strategies(策略) are those which are built around a daily schedule, with to-do lists, short-term and long-term goals, plus a clear dream to keep you motivated(有积极性的). these things will help to keep you on track.also, if you set a schedule to control when you work and when you take a break, youll find that you will enjoy both more. on the other hand, if you are a workaholic(工作狂), scheduling breaks into your day will help to get away from the screen and get a little bit of balance in your life.71. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to encourage the readers to set up an internet home business.b. to give the readers some advice about internet home business.c. to share some experience about internet home business.d. to introduce the latest scientific development on the internet.72. what is the advantage of running your own internet home business?a. you can decide on the time, place and means of working.b. you dont have to pay any taxes to the government.c. you can get your pay more easily than from you boss.d. you dont have to work as hard as you
