It mixes traditional tanghulu with milk skin, a dairy product similar to thick cream, and covers them with crisp (脆的) sugar. Ingredients Your favorite fruits White sugar Water Milk skin Dried yogurt Cream Milk Skin Tanghulu Steps Step 1: Prepare Fruits Wash the fruits. If using green grapes, cut them in half, carefully pick out the seeds, and put some dried yogurt inside. For fruits like strawberries, dry their surfaces completely with kitchen paper. Step 2: String (串起) Fruits Put the prepared fruits onto skewers (竹签). Step 3: Cook Syrup Mix sugar and water in a 2:1 ratio (比例). Pour them into a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat. Cook until the syrup (糖浆) turns amber (琥珀色). Step 4: Add Milk Skin Turn the fruit skewers quickly to cover them with the syrup. Then stick them to the milk skin. Let them cool on oiled paper for about 10 minutes. Milk skin is high in fat and the heating process increases its calories (卡路里). Too much sugar can cause skin problems and other health risks. Healthy people can enjoy it sometimes, but it is bad. Milk skin tanghulu tastes delicious and looks nice. But we should enjoy it wisely and not too often. 1. What is milk skin tanghulu? A. A new kind of fruit drink. B. A traditional snack from Shanghai. C. A popular online game. D. A new style of tanghulu with milk skin. 2. How much sugar is needed for 200g water? A. 100g. B. 200g. C. 400g. D. 300g. 3. What does “them” refer to in Step 4? A. Fruit skewers. B. Yogurt. C.

Tips for a Better Taste Experience. 5. Who is the text for? A. Experienced chefs. B. Health experts. C. Snack lovers. D. Fruit farmers. B S, M, P and C stand for different people who have different personalities. S people are the most popular at the party. They are friendly, energetic and humorous. They are interested in anything new and exciting and others always have fun with them. At the same time, they are careless and forgetful. M people are very careful and do everything as planned. They always want to find faults and never feel pleased with anything around them. They are strict with themselves, as well as with others. M people are real friends. If they make friends with you, it means that they will be your friends for life. They will do anything for their friends at any time. P people can easily be satisfied. They are peaceful and calm. But being peaceful and calm makes them very dull (迟钝的). They are always bystanders (旁观者). P people are good listeners and are always ready to accept others’ opinions. C people are leaders and workaholics (工作狂). They are brave and are never afraid of taking risks. However, they don’t care about others’ opinions and seldom think of others. They want others to follow them, but they hate waiting for others. There are no good or bad personalities. Every personality has two sides. If someone knows himself well, tries to improve the positive things and tries to throw away the negative ones, he will have a better life. 6. What do we know about S people? A. calm and peaceful. B. careful and strict. C. popular but forgetful. D. brave but dull. 7. What does the underlined word “faults” mean in Chinese? A. 缺点 B. 快乐 C. 麻烦 D. 优点 8. What do M people often do? A.

Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera (芦荟) plant could be just for you to choose! ②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies show that they take away harmful (有害的) things from the air. Maybe you can stay away from colds and sore throats. And even if you get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better faster. ③Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine. Aloe Vera gel (胶体) helps to deal with the pain (痛) of burns. And it also helps with the itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, and put the gel on the affected skin (患处). ④Aloe Vera plants are also popular in the food industry (工业). If you are interested in Aloe juice, you’ll easily find it in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ⑤________ They like dry, warm air, so they grow best near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need watering so often as most houseplants (室内植物). When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant. 11.
