We are good listeners in our own language because we have had years of practice. We understand the grammar and the language. We know what to expect a person to say to us in almost any situation. We have been in similar situations many times, and we have heard it all before. We can understand it, even if we do not listen carefully.

But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let the cultural style of our language affect our understanding of the foreign language. Listening to a foreign language broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues that can help us. One clue is the time of a day. Morning programs usually contain many short items of news, information or entertainment. The items are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details about the subjects discussed.

We can get a clue about the program from the music at the beginning, but we must be familiar with the music of the foreign culture. The kind of music-serious and slow, or fast and light-can tell us what kind of program to expect. The name of the program can give us good information about what it will contain.

Another good clue is the broadcaster. The more we listen to the same person, the easier it will be to understand him. His speaking style will become familiar to us. Further, the broadcaster provides clues to the organization of the broadcast at the beginning of the program. The broadcaster usually gives us the highlights of the program to prepare us for the details that will follow.

Camels are animals with long legs and big humps (驼峰).There are two types of camels; dromedary camels (单峰驼),which have one hump, and Bactrian camels (双峰驼),which have two humps. The two types of camels 【1】 (find) in different parts of the world. The dromedary camel, also 【2】 (call) an Arabian camel, can live in North Africa and the Middle East. The Bactrian camel mainly 【3】 (live) in Central Asia. No matter what types of camels, they usually live in the desert Though many people think that camels only live in hot climates, they do 【4】 (perfect) in temperature ranges from 20 degrees F to 120 degrees F.

Camels’ humps mainly consist 【5】 stored fat when food and water is rare. In addition to their humps, camels have many other 【6】 (way) to adapt to their environment. They have a third, clear eyelid (眼睑)【7】 protects their eyes from 【8】(blow) sand. They can shut their noses during sand storms.

Humans have used the camel as 【9】 means of transport for thousands of years. They can carry about 170 to 270 kilograms on 【10】 (they) backs. This earns these beasts a nickname "ships of the desert". Camels are often the main source of meat, milk and even leather or wool products.

Ice cream without a proper container in the fridge would lead to ice blocks because of its water content. Most ice cream contains some elements called emulsifiers (乳化剂) that can keep water to fat to prevent ice blocks. They go a step further by helping to keep ice cream consistent, even under the hot sun. On an element list, you might find different chemicals with the same goal: to hold water in so the ice cream doesn’t melt quickly. Ice cream sandwiches generally contain more of those chemicals including emulsifiers than hand-made ones.

If you’re worried about some additives (添加剂) in ice cream sandwiches f which might belong in a lab rather than your kitchen, then you’d better be at ease. Even completely natural elements, which come from beans, might make you stop eating if you’ve heard about their misuse in weight-loss efforts.

Of course, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes any of the side effects of those chemicals into account, and the amount you’d find in an ice cream sandwich isn’t enough to cause health problems. While you meet someone willing to share his ice cream sandwiches with your kid, there’s no reason to fear your kid’s health safety. A slow melt rate method causes you less worry.

【1】Why would ice cream without a proper container in the fridge become ice blocks?

A.It is too big and thick.B.It has freezing medium in it.

C.It contains some water in it.D.It doesn’t have enough cream.

【2】Which one is the function of emulsifiers in ice cream sandwiches?

A.To keep the ice cream stay consistent.

B.To cover the ice cream to avoid sunlight.

C.To let the ice cream sandwiches taste better.

D.To protect the ice cream by keeping water out.

【3】What does the author intend to express in paragraph 3?

A.Natural elements from beans are bad for health.

B.Additives should be avoided during losing weight.

C.The additives in ice cream sandwiches arc harmless.

D.Emulsifiers in ice cream can make people become fat.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards kids’ eating ice cream sandwiches?

A.Approving.B.Worried.

C.Opposed.D.Doubtful.

Last Saturday morning in the railway station, I casual saw something that touched me deeply. Right as I was on way to the main hall, I saw an old woman putting something next to a slept homeless man. I wanted to see that she had put some money there. Instead, I just find a sandwich. The moments was very touching. An old woman just helped the man in need of though her act might not be recognized. This made me realized it’s a small thing that could really make a big difference, I was luck to see such a little act of kindness.
