Let?s Bake (烤) sugar Cookies

Many cooking experts believe that a long time ago cooks who wanted to test the temperature of their ovens would bake a little bit to find out if the oven was hot enough to bake an entire cake. These test cakes were called keokje, which means “little cake” in the language used in the Netherlands. People from the Netherlands brought the recipe to the United States. The word “cookie” may have come from their word keokje.

Cookies are also very popular in England, but the English call them “biscuits”, as do Australians. Almost every country has a word for cookie．In Spain, they are called galletas, and in Italy, cookies are called biscotti. Americans are not the only people who enjoy cookies. You can make cookies following these steps:

◆ Preheat oven to l50℃. Put a little butter on a cookie sheet.

◆ Mix together white sugar, brown sugar, butter and eggs. Then add vanilla. ◆ Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Then mix well. ◆ Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today? Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many because they misunderstand the process

and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say, “I?ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I?ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on.

This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes (预料) that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus (刺激) and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling; “I?ll be happy when…”

It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationship. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.

Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy. I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.

64. Why does the writer think happiness escapes many people? A. They find happiness in different ways. B. They are working too hard. C. They don?t have a good habit. D. They seek happiness in the wrong way. 65. What do the underlined words “this thinking” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Misunderstanding of happiness. B. Getting promoted in the job. C. Losing twenty pounds of weight D. Finding one?s own happiness. 66. The writer strongly believes that happiness is ____________. A. a response B. a stimulus C. a feeling D. your health 67. The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________. A. prove an idea B. coach people C. entertain readers D. tell a story

D

Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.

All of a sudden, Barney?s sharp cry came into the mother?s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining (纠缠) the little child with its body and trying to swallow (吞下) the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake?s mouth.

It was a fearless mother?s love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet (斧头) from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.

One...two.... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy?s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa?s heart was broken and she nearly went mad.

Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak (牛排). Lisa was really mad.

A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake?s back madly and savagely.

Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake?s body. The snake was so badly wounded that it

Live on the moon

As the Chang?e I successfully launched last Wednesday, many people have started to imagine what life on the moon would be like.

At a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco on October 20, NASA (美国国家航空航天局) showed its plans to build a permanent moon base.

The agency hopes to have a base on the moon, so by the year 2020 four people can have a week-long trip. By the mid-2020s, astronauts could be staying there for six months. Housing

In science fiction a moon base is a large glass dome (圆顶). The reality will be a lot less comfortable, at least at first. NASA wants its first few astronauts to live in small modules (舱). Six will be launched separately and then joined together on the surface of the moon.

The atmosphere inside the modules would consist of breathable air, theoretically (理论上说) made by mining and processing oxygen-rich minerals on the lunar surface (月球表面). Anyone going on trips outside would need to wear a spacesuit and go out through an airlock (空气门). Health

There are lots of unknowns about staying in space for a long time and the biggest issue is how gravity would affect the body. Muscles (肌肉) and bones start wasting away when people spend a long time in zero gravity such as the current space station, which orbits Earth.

However, scientists are not sure whether the same thing would happen on the moon, because it has one-sixth of the Earth?s gravity. The radiation from the sun is another problem. Strong radiation may cause cancer. Food and water

In the short term, food would have to be brought from the Earth. The dream, however, is to grow things in greenhouses on the moon. This would involve planting things without soil. It would take at least a decade of experiments after the base is established. Moving around

Dr Harrison Schmitt, who landed on the moon in 1972, said that skiing would be the best way for astronauts to move around quickly and easily on the moon. “Once you get a rhythm (节奏) going it?s very easy. You can drive yourself with a push. On the moon you don?t slide, you glide (滑行) above the surface,” he explained.

NASA is working on a two-seater car. The vehicle could travel hundreds of kilometers. Inside, astronauts would work without spacesuits.
