You might think ice cream is a modern kind of food, but actually, ice cream was probably first eaten in China more than 2, 000 years ago. It was made from rice and milk. In Europe around 2, 000 years ago, Roman leaders also enjoyed a kind of frozen(冷冻的) dessert. Snow and fruit were used to make it. It wasn’t true ice cream, though, as it had no milk or cream in it.
Marco Polo, who came from Italy, spent a lot of time in China during the late thirteenth century. People believe that he saw ice cream being made while he was on his travels there. He then brought the recipe(食谱) for it back home when he returned. This was the first time true ice cream was made in Europe. Perhaps this is why Italians are considered the European masters of ice cream making: they have had more time than other countries to practise the recipe!
In the seventeenth century, King Charles I of England was introduced to the pleasures of ice cream by his new French chef(厨师). He was so surprised by its beautiful taste that he offered the chef £500 a year(around £100, 000 in today’s money!). This wasn’t just for him to make Charles lots more ice cream. It was also to keep the recipe secret.
Ice cream cones(蛋卷筒) are a popular way to serve ice cream. They’re easy to hold ice cream and there is no waste at all because they can be eaten up along with the ice cream. So they’re environmentally friendly as well as tasty. It’s believed they were invented in 1904 in the US.
Ice cream quickly won the hearts of people in the middle of the twentieth century. At that time, the first fridges became available to the public. Owning one meant you could then keep ice cream at home. They also brought a bigger chance of eating ice cream for those living in hot places.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent(锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream Believe Achieve
Most people have what they want(Dream) and think they can realize their dreams(Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream Believe Act Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action(Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
56. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?
A. Ask people for help. B. Try and keep trying.
C. Get ready to create wonders. D. Prepare for a harder one.
57. Which does the writer add to the famous formula?
A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create.
58. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?
A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties.
59. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream Believe Act Achieve”?
A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it.
C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge.
60. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Doing Something Valuable.
B. Studying Hard and Making Progress.
C. Action connects dreams and goals to reality.
D. Separating Successful People from Dreams.

We often see blood donation(献血) buses on the road. As we all know, blood is very important in medical activities. However, some people are afraid of donating blood. Actually, it can not only help others, but also do good to your body. 71
Firstly, people who are too thin cannot donate blood. 72 If you are underweight, you may become very weak after donating blood.
