Canned Foods: Convenience and Nutrition
Meeting your family's nutritional needs may seem difficult considering today's busy lifestyles. But it doesn't have to(51). Even a new emphasis(52)more fruits and vegetables doesn't necessarily mean more preparation time if you take(53) of the convenience of canned foods.
When you open a(54)of fruit or vegetable at home you have at hand fresh-packed nutritional produce, with no man-made ingredients, no preservatives. And all the work has been done for you: the slicing, the peeling, even the cooking. Canned fruits and vegetables leave you the(55) to be creative. And with the variety of fruits and vegetables available these days, you can serve different combinations, create new dishes, and(56) new tastes to old recipes. Canned foods are good as well. A United States Department of Agriculture and National Food Association co-sponsored study shows canned vegetables to be just as(57) as fresh or frozen. Because canned vegetables are processed within hours of(58)packed, they generally retain 70 to 90(59)of their nutrients.
Fruit and vegetable canning is as simple(60)when your grandmother "put up" tomatoes and other things from the garden. Fresh produce is taken from the field at just the right time, delivered to the cannery, checked, washed, sealed, and sterilized. All this generally happens in less(61) 24 hours to(62) the best quality and nutritional value without the need for any preservatives.
Use the liquids that vegetables are canned(63)as a substitute(64) water in recipes to get that last drop of good nutrition.

How One Simple Movement Can Let Slip the Secrets of the Mind
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying...
Arms.(46)If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way.(47)If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.(48)
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself.(49)This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show.(50)
A If you are feeling downs, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards.
B If you are pleased, you usually open your eyes wide and people can notice this.
C Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies.
D How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you-meet.
E However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
F However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.
In the case of man, the difficulties with the environmental concept are even more complicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with man as a bearer (持有者) of culture. If we look at man as an animal and try to analyze the environmental forces that are acting on the organism, we find that we have to deal with things like climate, soil, plants and such-like factors common to all biological situations; but we also find, always, very important environmental influences that we can only class as “cultural”, which modify the physical and biological factors. But man, as we know him, is always a bearer of culture; and if we study human culture, we find that it, in turn, is modified by the environmental factors of climate and geography. We thus easily get into great difficulties from the necessity of viewing culture, at one moment, as a part of the man and, at another moment, as a part of the environment.
第61题:Which of the following words can best describe the popular understanding of “environment” as the author sees it?
A) Elaborate.
B) Prejudiced.
C) Faultless.
D) Oversimplified.
The monkey’s ability to grasp rice with its paw often leads to its capture. Hunters put some rice inside a coconut(椰子果), leaving a hole in the shell of the nut. The monkey has no trouble sliding its paw through the hole. But it can't draw the paw out while it is holding the rice with its paw.
Since it is often too stupid or greedy to open its hand, the monkey is unable to free itself from this simple trap (圈套).
According to the passage, not many animals have.
A.Paws with fingers.
B.Paws with thumbs.
C.Paws without fingers.
D.Paws without thumbs and fingers.
My Volunteering Experience
My volunteer work helps me grow up. It has made me more aware of the difficulties other people go through and made me appreciate the simple things we have in life. It enables me, as an adult, to become more confident and to realize the difference I can make.
I now have new career aspirations and the confidence to take forward these new ideas, since I started mentoring at the Open University and gained experience of working with young students. I' ll go on to do a teaching assistant course and looking to go into volunteering teaching or youth work in the future. My research project will be to build a spatial web application.It was inspired by the volunteering I do for another not-for-profit organization.
My volunteering at an animal shelter is neither connected to my studies nor to my career interests. I do it purely for pleasure, satisfaction and the feeling that I can help somebody. It' s made me a happier person, and I wouldn' t have got this far at university without it.?

The forms of the verbs are even more【61】 . The Eskimo language is, therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn,【62】 the result that almost no traders or explorers have【63】 tried to learn it. Consequently , there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon【64】 to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually【65】 by travellers as "the Eskimo language".

回答题:
Looking to help the environment? Consider the following simple ideas.
Turn off electrical devices when they"re not being used.
Turning off, rather than leaving on stand-by, things like your TV and computer will save huge amounts of energy. With this, we can all help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the earth"s atmosphere, thereby reducing pollution and global warming.
Share your ear.
Rather than traveling to work alone, why not arrange ear-sharing with one or more of your,friends or colleagues? To give you an example, if you drive a fashionable ear, you will use more energy in a year than you would leaving your fridge open for seven years, or your TV on for thirty-two years ! Imagine the savings if you shared your ear with 2,3 or even 4 other people !
Refuse junk mail.
While we all complain about how much junk mail we get, we very rarely do anything about it. The mail continues to go straight from our letter-boxes into the garbage bin——with 99% of it not even opened. What can you do about this? There are various websites where you can register to receive no junk mail. As well as saving time, you"ll also be doing a lot for the environment. Each year,100 million trees are used to produce junk mail.250,000 homes could be heated with one day"s supply of junk mail.
There are many other everyday changes you can make to help the environment. They will cost you nothing, and many will actually save you money! Why not give it a try? We can all help,if we really want to.
By turning off a TV or computer that‘s not being used,you will save a lot of energy. 查看材料
