Experiment: Healthy Dry Ice Yogurt Popsicles (冰棍)

This dry ice experiment is a simple project, but it’s certainly wonderful. 【2】 Even kids as young as five will at least appreciate the observations. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.

Materials

One large block of dry ice

Large spoon or tube-shaped piece of metal

Four Popsicle sticks

One cup of your favorite juice

Tall glass filled with water

Directions

Use the large spoon, or tube-shaped piece of metal to make a Popsicle-shaped hole in the middle of the block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a towel on your counter to do this work. 【3】

Add a Popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the Popsicle stick.

【4】 After several minutes, remove the Popsicle from the block of dry ice and dip it into a tall glass of water. Do this to warm up the Popsicle just a bit first. 【5】 You are sure to succeed!

A. Prepare all the necessary materials.

B. Otherwise, it will be too cold to enjoy.

C. It has appeal to a wide range of audiences.

D. Unlike regular ice, dry ice doesn’t melt into a liquid.

E. Keep in mind that it’s okay if it’s not exactly Popsicle-shaped.

F. The number of experiments you can perform using dry ice is endless.

G. Hold the Popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your Popsicle to harden.

1. Be yourself. Nobody likes a phony(虚伪的人). In fact, if you aren’t yourself, others won’t become friends with you. When the time comes that you feel comfortable enough to act like yourself again, you may not be well received, because you are a totally different person. 【2】

2. Use technology. 【3】 For instance, Weibo is a great place to meet new people. It creates experiences and you get to meet like-minded people who share your interests.

3. Start with people you know. Reach out and contact new friends, and reconnect with old friends you haven’t seen in a long time. Don’t forget about friends of friends. You may connect with some really cool people just by hanging out with your friends and their friends. 【4】 If you stay home, you aren’t going to meet people.

4. Keep in touch. 【5】 With the Internet and social media, there is absolutely no need to worry about that these days. Look up old friends and contact them.

A. There are all kinds of online groups that you can join.

B. Knowing others well is very important.

C. Therefore, let people get to know the real you.

D. If you are invited to go out, go.

E. All too often, people lose touch with one another.

F. Here are some tips that will help.

G. You need to trust yourself, whatever happens.

※ Target （把…作为目标）the enemy

“Every night a couple of hours before bed, sit down and make a list of all the problems you have to deal with,” says Donna Arand, director of Kettering Hospital Sleep Disorders Center. “Next to each item, write a solution or plan.” 【2】 That way, if thoughts of your problems arise as you’re trying to sleep, you can tell yourself, “I’ve got a plan and I’ll work on it tomorrow. “

※ Balance your work and activities

【3】 But a joint study of 314 workers found that workers with higher levels of enjoyable activities such as exercise, hobbies, and social activities, were able not only to come back from workplace stress better than their always-on-the-job coworkers but also sleep much better than others.

※ Deal with less

Four of the top ten stressors we experience are related to money.【4】 And how should we spend it? Given that, doesn’t it make sense that if we want less and are satisfied with less--smaller houses, and simpler forms of transportation--our stress levels will go down?

※ Give a nod to a nap （打盹）

It’s doubly unfortunate that stress makes it hard to get to sleep because, chemically speaking, the antidote （对抗手段）to stress is sleep. There is a way to deal with it.【5】 It’s true that one nap of up to 90 minutes between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 P.M. during the day, will make people energetic again.

A.That’s by taking a nap.

B.Here’s how to step back from that state.

C.Now there is some advice on how to keep energetic.

D.When you ‘re ready for bed, put the list by the bedroom door.

E.It was reported recently that on-the-job stress has reached the worst levels.

F.How can we get it ?

G.Does stress always interrupt you?

One day, when I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked her down. “Move out of the way,” I said impatiently. She walked away, and her little heart was【1】(break). I didn’t realize【2】 rudely I’d spoken.

When I 【3】 (lie) awake in bed, God’s small voice came to me and said, “While 【4】 (deal) with a stranger, you use common politeness, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Look at the kitchen floor, and those are the flowers she brought for you.”

By this time, my tears began to fall. I quietly went and sat by her bed. “Are these the flowers you picked 【5】 me? I’m so sorry.” I said. She smiled, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway.” I said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, 【6】 (especial) the blue.”

You should be aware that if we were to die tomorrow, the family we left behind would feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think about it, we devote 【7】 (us) more to work than to our family---an unwise 【8】(decide) indeed. So, what is behind the story? Fill life with love and 【9】 ( brave ), and we shall live【10】 happy life.

Nowadays, the great number of people, especially young people, like ordering meals online. It’s not surprised. First, as the pace of modern life is becoming faster and faster, people had less time to cook even one meal for themselves. Second, the development of technology brings us smart phones and new apps, what may lead to the increase in online service. However, we should pay more attention to food. As we all know it, our health is closely related to what we eat. Although the service provides us convenience, we must take the food safety into considerate. Home-made food is cleaner and healthy, but I prefer to cook food at home rather than ordering meals online.

Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.

Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.

The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.

Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).

Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.

Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.

"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.

"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.

The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

【1】Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.

A. following the latest world trend

C. working harder than ever before

D. relying on foreign architects

【2】What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?

B. The balance of East and West.

C. The use of popular techniques.

D. The harmony of old and new.
