You might have noticed how everyone focuses on their gadgets (小装置) during family gatherings or staying with friends. As  【小题1】 result, the opportunity to improve your connection might be lost. However, here are some ways you and your friends can do and enjoy while  【小题2】 (take) a break from your gadgets.

Firstly, if you want to spend quality time 【小题3】 each other, all of you need to turn off your gadgets, 【小题4】 could be the first step you can do. Secondly, before the  【小题5】 (appear) of high-tech gadgets, a board game had always been the source of entertainment. So playing board games is an excellent starter【小题6】 (settle) your thoughts and feelings. Thirdly, eating together is a chance to bond and relax. Bonding with your friends over food is a good way to make conversations, 【小题7】 (especial) during dinner. Finally, entertainment isn’t the only way to interact with your friends. While   【小题8】 is necessary to enjoy your get-together, you don’t know 【小题9】 your friends are going through, and making room for a heart-to-heart talk might be what they need.

Keep in mind that nothing【小题10】 (beat) real conversations with your loved ones.

Good morning, and welcome to your tour of Bob and Betty’s Ice Cream Factory. Here you’ll learn a lot about how ice cream 【小题1】 (make)! Let’s begin.

In this room, cream will be taken out of our large refrigerators first. Then the cream 【小题2】 (put) into this machine. While the cream is mixing, sugar will be poured ( 倒 ) slowly into the cream by our ice cream makers.

Today we are making banana nut ice cream. Right now, different kinds of nuts are being chopped (切碎) in a large chopper. It’s a very expensive machine, but it chops nuts very quickly.

When the nuts and bananas are ready, they 【小题3】 (add) to the sugar and cream in a special machine that 【小题4】 (invent) by Betty a few years ago.

The ice cream 【小题5】 (keep) in a large cold room until it 【小题6】 (send) by trucks all over the country.

That is the end of our tour. Thank you for visiting our factory, and now we’d like to invite you to go to our tasting room, where our delicious ice cream can 【小题7】 (enjoy) by all our visitors.

Worried about the 【小题1】 (prepare) for her feast, Lala quickly turned for home with her collection of nuts, melons, and other fruit. She had almost reached her destination 【小题2】 a delicious smell arrested her progress and she stopped. The smell of cooking meat filled the air surrounding her, and her senses became dizzy with hunger. Abruptly she sat down, only 【小题3】 (scoop) up by her sister Luna. Lala smiled with relief.

Just then Dahu, her husband, came up behind her. He had a large square face, with 【小题4】 (strong) pronounced eyebrows and cheekbones. Over his shoulder he carried several fish and some pieces of wood under his arm. Lala smiled and handed some stone scrapers over to Dahu,【小题5】 smiled and went outside the cave to begin his task.

First he looked carefully at the scrapers and then went to 【小题6】 corner of the cave and pulled out some more tools. He 【小题7】 (choose) one large stone and began to use it like a hammer striking the edge of the scraper that needed 【小题8】 (sharpen). Now and then Dahu would stop, look at it and try it 【小题9】 his hand before continuing his task. He stopped when he felt the scrapers were sharp enough to cut up the meat and scrape the fish. As he passed 【小题10】 to Lala, the first of the guests from the neighbouring caves began to arrive for dinner.
