Billy always loved blueberries. They were his favorite fruit. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice， apple juice， vegetable juice， and more juices. He had never made blueberry juice before though!

First， Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They were each given a basket. They picked for an hour and got several pounds. It was hard work picking the little berries from the trees. Now Billy understood why they were expensive in the store.

Next， they had to wash the fruit. Some of them still had leaves. Those had to be pulled off. Then the bad berries had to be thrown away. They washed the berries and made them air-dry.

After that， they pushed the blueberries through a strainer(過濾網(wǎng)). The strainer caught most of the seeds and skins， and only left a small glass of dark purple juice to them.

When they tasted the juice， it wasn't very sweet. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar to the juice. It was better to use a naturally sweet juice， like apple juice， pear juice， or grape juice. They used grape juice as a sweetener (甜味劑)， because grapes had a similar color to the blueberries.

Finally， they could drink it. It was a lot of work to make juice， but it sure was refreshing!

任務(wù)型閱讀

Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you're good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like. They both help you to see your aims(目標(biāo)) in life.

Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aims and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.

It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do it well.

It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.

It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 回答問題。

1.Is it possible to decide what you like without trying?

______________________________________________________________

2.To decide what to do in the future, which is more important, to find out what you like or to find out what you don't like?

______________________________________________________________

3.In which way is failing important to people?

______________________________________________________________

4.How can you find out your true interests?

5.What does it take to become a great pianist?
