Long long ago, when the world was new, an old man with long grey hair was traveling across the earth. Wherever he went, the soil turned 1 as stone, and 2 he breathed, the rivers stood still and frozen, and the lakes turned to ice. Plants turned black and animals flew away. The old man 3 a small house of ice and snow for himself, and he settled down, thinking that his home was going to last forever.
But one day he heard a 4 at his door. Whoever was outside hit the door so 5 that pieces of ice from the wall fell onto the ground.

▲ , 2015—A second major earthquake has struck Nepal just two weeks after the first, sending people running into streets and open areas. We spoke to some of those who felt the ground shake.
Olivia Lang, Kathmandu
Olivia Lang works for BBC News.
"I was in my hotel room and the floor started to shake. We've had a lot of aftershocks so it took me a few seconds to realize it was serious. I left everything and just ran out of the hotel. But when we were in the yard outside, everything started shaking very strongly and we were all bending down on the ground to stop from falling over, and keeping as far away from the walls as possible. Everyone was out in the street and everyone was clearly very shocked. There was panic and nervousness on the street.
"There is a building next to my hotel that was damaged in the previous earthquake and had construction workers(建筑工人)working high up on it. It was possible that it would fall over and people were shouting for them to come down off the building.
"Nepalis(尼泊尔人)were calling their families in other parts of Kathmandu to check if they were OK. There is a rescue(救援)team from Los Angeles here that was supposed to leave today but will now stay to check the area."
Yuvraj Agrawal, Dhulikhel
Yuvraj Agrawal is a volunteering doctor who works in a hospital in Dhulikhel near Kathmandu. "I was operating on a lady whose leg was injured in the 25 April earthquake when the shake started. The patient was unable to move from her legs down. I couldn't't leave her alone, so I stayed.
"The hospital is very busy. We've got lots of patients come in but no lost lives. Since April 25, things had slowly getting back to normal, but this afternoon, it has been non-stop. "
A man was hunting with his son when a bear attacked them and killed the boy. Weighed down with sorrow(悲伤)for his son, the man returned home with the deer he had killed. He hid his great sadness from his wife and said, "Take this meat I have caught and cook it—but I will eat it only if it has been cooked in a pot that was never used for a meal of sorrow."
The woman went to her neighbors, seeking for such a pot. One neighbor shook her head and said, "We used the big pot for the rice the night my husband died."
Another sighed and said, "We boiled our vegetables in our pot the day the baby took sick and died." One by one, they each told her a story of yet another sorrowful meal. She returned to her husband empty-handed.
"No family has escaped sorrow," she told him. "There is no pot that has not cooked a meal of sadness."
"And it is our turn now," the man said to his wife. Tears filled his eyes as he told her of their son's death.
The world is made of such things and the like. Fortunately, God loves and blesses the souls(灵魂).
If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie(美食家) rhyme, "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories of summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618 —907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat "a frozen milk-like dessert", which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor (樟脑) was added to improve the taste.
In Medieval Times, Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet(冰冻果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after.
The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet(雪酪)was created. Antonio Latini (1642–1692) is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first "official" ice cream.
It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700's. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy(满足)his thirst for the lovely treat. The Lincolns had a taste for the cold stuff. Abraham Lincoln's wife Mary Todd often hosted "strawberry parties" for friends to celebrate berry season. Fresh strawberries were served with cake and ice cream.
Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditionally American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend? Vanilla(香草)ice cream, of course! This creamy iced treat has strongly planted itself in the hearts of foodies across America.
a. milk-based sorbet b. frozen milk-like dessert
c. Vanilla ice cream d. cold drinks with fruits
(2)七、语法填空(共1小题)
Ben loved baseball. He wanted to learn more about his favorite team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. He thought that (read) baseball cards would be the perfect way!
Every week Ben went to the grocery store with his grandmother. He found packs of Dodgers' cards in the checkout area. Each week, he asked his grandmother he could have the cards. The answer was always the same.
"We can only get what we need today, Ben," his grandmother would say. "We need milk and bread. We need food supper. Needs are things people must have to live. You don't need baseball cards."
"But I want baseball cards!" Ben said.
"I know you really want those cards," Grandmother said. "Wants are things people would like to have but do not need in order to live. We cannot have we want. We have to make choices. How much pocket money do you have now?"
"I (spend) all of my money yesterday," Ben said.
"Maybe you can save your pocket money to buy the baseball cards."
Ben decided to do his grandmother had said. He put the money he received each week together, and finally he had money to buy the baseball cards. He couldn't wait to get to the grocery store. He searched for his special cards. He found cards for other , but he couldn't find Dodgers' cards.
"Where are the Dodgers' baseball cards?" he asked the clerk.
"Oh, they have all been (sell) out because many people want their cards. I'm afraid we will not have them until next week," she said.
