If you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'llhave to figure out how to feed yourself.

Many plants in the wild areedible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine

whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.

Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these

guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for

wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if

you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level,

the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.

Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small

portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice

any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the

plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if

you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and

do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait

8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw

up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.

4. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?

A. Suitable for using as food. B. Widely spread.

C. Existing in large quantities. D. Not widely known.

5. What can we know from paragraph 2?

A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method.

B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally. C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.

D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.

6. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?

① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow it

A. ③④②①⑤ B. ④③②①⑤ C. ③④②⑤① D.

Getting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams, but thanks to Will Rogers, inventor and owner of

WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley, Illinois, it has become a delicious reality. The Below Zero icecream machine uses

a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into

delicious soft —serve ice cream.

Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use

the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers

commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical

concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.

Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning

them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol contentat all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly

the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid

form.

Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher

alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.

The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise

their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.

8. What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?

A. Will Rogers B. WDS Dessert Stations
