Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just take out from the freezer. Fruit, candy, nuts, chocolate, cake with butter cream frosting(糖霜),even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact, I often eat them that way.

I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer —finally, two freezers—to prevent them from going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.

If we eat when they are still warm, we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. That’s the point about frozen butter-cream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it’s gone very quickly. But when it’s frozen, you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.

The freezer treats a lot of fruits kindly. Take frozen grapes for example, I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心).This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas…You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.

As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot, go ahead and experiment. 46. What is the passage intended to tell us ____________.

A. Fruit should be frozen before one eats it. B. Frozen food is better than hot food. C. The author prefers frozen food. D. Hot food is not healthy. 47. The author began to enjoy frozen food when he _________.

A. was young B. learned cooking C. got married D. got a fever 48. Why does the author NOT advise us to take hot cookies? A. Because they need more time to prepare.

B. Because the taste is not good when they are hot.

C. Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating. D. Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.

49. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. The taste B. Butter cream C. The cookie D. Frozen butter cream frosting 50. Which of the following is the advice the author gives on eating fruit? A. Make bananas hard. B. Keep grapes in a bowl.

C. Mix kinds of fruits together. D. Add melted chocolate to bananas. B

I was asked to do some training for a sales team from one of the largest companies in America. There were 16 people on this team. That year their sales were close to 250 million dollars! I watched them closely and below is what I found.

Firstly, I noticed they had a sense of humor! They simply weren’t a terribly serious group of people. Instead, they thought that life was to be enjoyed and that means they were able to laugh a little bit. Sure, there were different degrees in this but they all had a sense of humor. They were able to laugh at the proper time, and they were able to laugh at themselves. It was quite cheerful and I’m sure it was a key to their success.

Secondly, I found out that they achieved their success through hard work. They didn’t come form families that gave them a free pass into the upper position of the company. What had got them to where they were? Hard work! These folks worked long hours and were strict about the work they did. The company appreciated this and their work was paying off.
