21、 Today, we will explore how to preserve the fruits and vegetables. By following a few easy steps, we can still eat them when they are out of season.
Freezing
Freezing is the simplest way to save fruits and vegetables. But it is important to freeze them after they have cooled down. To avoid freezer burns, which can affect the taste and feel, we should only use plastic bags or boxes designed for the freezer.
Good foods to freeze include apples, plums, green beans and cabbage. But don't freeze potatoes, tomatoes and bananas.
Canning
There are two main ways to can fruits and vegetables:boiling hot water baths and pressure canning.
Boiling hot water bath is to put fresh fruits and vegetables in glass jars(罐)and then heat the jars in boiling water. The heat gets the air out of the jars and frees the food from microorganisms(微生物). Then cover the jars tightly. This method works best with foods like apples, berries, cherries and peaches.
Pressure canning food requires a pressure canner. Its size should be based on the amount of food to be canned. The pressure canner should be filled with fruits and vegetables as tightly as possible. Good foods for pressure canning include carrots, corn and bell peppers.
Whichever method you use, you should keep the fruits and vegetables from fresh air.
Pickling (腌制)
There are many pickling methods. You can pickle whole vegetables or vegetables cut in small pieces by adding salt, pepper or other seasonings.
Good late — summer foods to pickle include cucumbers, hot peppers and eggplants.
【1】Which of the following are suitable for freezing?
A.Apples. B.Potatoes.
C.Bananas. D.Tomatoes.
【2】When you are canning fresh fruits and vegetables, it is important to .
A.hold them in plastic bags B.cool them down first
C.cut them in small pieces first D.keep them from fresh air
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To tell us how to avoid food waste. B.To introduce ways to preserve foods.
C.To show the best way to cook food. D.To explain why foods can be preserved.
22、Relations between Architecture and Culture
A country is not only identified by its people and government, but also by its architecture. 【1】 For example, when one thinks of India, we think of the Tahj Mahal. The Egyptians are another amazing example. Their environment and culture produced the great pyramids. How do modern cultures produce and maintain such beautiful architecture?
Slovenians gained independence in 1991. The country is now economically the most progressive one. It is now helping to modernize the factories and by doing so has actually helped lower poverty rates. Generally, their world around them is modernizing. 【2】 Everyday life focuses in the squares, churches and the marketplace. These Slovenian towns have many well-preserved buildings with styles of architecture dating back from the 1100’s. Many churches such as Sticna Abbey and Podsreda Castle are magnificent examples of the Roman architecture.
【3】 For centuries, homes have been made out of mud houses built along the main dirt road. The roof could be used for an oven, to hold chickens, or just as storage. Cairo, one of the larger cities, the older parts of it are still the heart of Egypt although built with Islamic and Coptic monuments.
Chinese architecture probably has the most cultural influence. Traditionally buildings were designed for its width, not its height. Every important building is guarded around a large wall to protect their assets. While ordinary dwellings are grey and dull, palaces and places of importance are quite colorful. 【4】 Each Chinese home has their entrance at the front and facing the east with a screen because it is believed that spirits travel straight and cannot go through screen.
Every culture can inspire a type of architecture that can range from landmarks to everyday homes. Religion and family seem to be the most common influences overall. 【5】
A.Architecture is a product of cultural diversity.
B.The purpose of a south-facing entrance is to avoid north winds.
C.Through architecture it’s possible to judge many things about a culture.
D.However, the center of their town is ironically the older parts of the city.
E.Architecture is not always defined as large but simply a home sometimes.
F.Tradition and religion are the largest pieces to the Chinese culture and architecture.
G.Each culture is unique and the more we learn about them, the more we appreciate our surroundings.
23、 Then the landlord began to examine the house. He and she were going to divorce, so it was obvious that they would not continue renting the house any more. Then the landlord began examining the house. After looking around, the landlord screamed, “The walls are full of nails! How could I rent the house to others?”
He said, “The room is too small, so we could only hang things on the walls.” The landlord didn’t listen to him and turned around up to the floor. She began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here. There were several nails on the wall, on which hung his clothes yesterday. After he lived in the room, he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing.
The landlord took toolkit down and tried to pull the nails out. After the nails were removed, the walls were left with numerous holes. All of a sudden, she felt terribly heartbroken as if her heart was pierced(刺破)through those holes and bleeding nonstop. She sprang from the seat and shouted, “Stop pulling the nails! We will continue renting the house and will only move away after we buy our own!” He looked at her with great surprise and then turned around, tearing over his face.
She finally came to understand that marriage was like wall and that all quarrels and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. When all the nails were removed, only a wall with numerous holes would be left. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable. But in the past, what she saw was only those nails.
They hung all the things back to the wall. He asked her, "Are you really willing to lead a tough life with me? " She patted away the ashes on hands and looked at those things satisfactorily, saying, "Yes! For me, it's not a suffering to live. "

【2】Why did she feel so sad when the landlord put the nails out?
A.Because her things would be thrown away.

24、In Melbourne lies an 87-square-meter, three-story, two-bedroom and one-bathroom house. That may sound like a real property advertisement, but it could be the home of the future.
Made from organic materials and run on sustainable (可持续的) energy, the building, known as “The Greenhouse”, is completely zero waste. It was designed by zero waste advocate Bakker, as part of his Future Food System housing experiment. “The greenhouse is inspired by nature — it’s an ecosystem where nothing is wasted,” Bakker says.
Organic waste is fed into a biodigester where it ferments (发酵) and turns into gas for cooking or fertilizer for produce; rainwater is harvested and used for irrigation and a specific system, where plants grow using waste from fish; and hot steam from the shower enables a wall of mushrooms to boost. The house is designed, says Bakker, with the roof as the foundation, loaded with 35 tons of soil, which provides fertile (肥沃的) ground for produce — more than 200 plant species grow on the roof, as well as insects, snails, fish and chickens.
The site is more than just a model home; it’s been a real one for Jo Barrett and Matt Stone, who were chefs at the small in-house restaurant. “To be able to grow and produce food on a tiny footprint in the city and turn it into exciting dishes is completely unique,” says Stone.
Through the project, Bakker wanted to demonstrate he could feed a family with his design. “I think we’ve proved that it’s actually more productive than I imagined,” he says. “We’ve harvested 35 kilos of potatoes from a square meter.”
He hopes the example will offer a blueprint to future homes and an alternative to current food system, which is to blame for over a third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Creating a circular system could also greatly reduce food waste.
“We’re the only species that generates waste. In nature, there is no waste; everything becomes a food source for something else,” says Bakker. “If we transform to a circular system, we have so much potential to stop the destruction of wilderness and forest.”
