The earliest ices were eaten in China many years ago．The people would put orange juice on ice．Later，this idea traveled to Italy．Nero，the emperor of Rome between 37and 68A．D，liked to eat ices as a special treat between violin lessons．He ordered runners to run to the mountains，get snow and quickly run back to the palace； The snow was mixed with fruit juices and nuts．
Around 1660，Coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris．Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians．The first successful one was opened by a man from Sicily named Francesco Procopio．

Before ice cream was sold in stores，it was made and frozen at home．it took a lot of work to mix cream，eggs，fruit，and salt，and then to freeze it．Nancy Johnson，an American woman who was good with machines，invented the hand-turned ice cream freezer in 1846．Five years later，Jacob Fluse opened the first ice cream business，in Baltimore，Maryland His business quickly spread to other states．Today in the United States，ice cream is not only a food，it is away of life．

8．Brazil has become one of the developing world's great successes at reducing population growth-but more by accident than design．While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates，Brazil has had better result without really trying，says George Martine at Harvard．
Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951and 1960to 1.93% a year between 1981and 1990，and Brazilian women now have only 2.7children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990，an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．
Martine puts it down to among other things，soap operas and installment（分期付款）plans introduced in the 1970s．Both played an important，although indirect，role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world's biggest producers of soap operas．Globo，Brazil's most popular television network，shows three hours of soaps six nights a week，while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．
"Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of Reproduction（生育），they describe middle and upper class values：not many children，different attitudes towards sex，women working，"says Martine．"They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values，which were put into a very attractive package．"
Meanwhile，the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．"This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible（不相容的） with unlimited reproduction，"says Martine．

81．How has Brazil cut back its population growth？（ No more than 6words ）   （2marks）
By chance．/By accident
82．What are the two main factors in helping Brazil lower its birthrate？（ No more than 8words ）    （2marks）
Soap operas and installment plans．
83．What changes have soap operas brought to Brazilians since the 1990s？（ No more than 14words ）  （ 3marks ）
They have changed people's values and behaviors．/They have gradually changed people's way of life．

5．[1]We don't plan to cry，but it just happens．In fact，when we feel sad or angry，a good cry is almost impossible to resist．But if you didn't know what crying was，you'd have to wonder why some strong feelings started water streaming from people's eyes and why they seemed to feel better afterwards．
[2]Now a US researcher has found there may be more in crying than we think．William H．Frey II，author of"Crying：The Mystery of Tears"，believes it may really be one of the body's clever self-repair mechanisms （結(jié)構(gòu)）．Crying may be a way of getting rid of the by-products （副產(chǎn)品） of stress，he says．
[3]He has found that tears contain some chemicals which can cause stress．One of these is the hormone prolactin （激素） which is set free when one is feeling stressed．Since women have more of this than men，that might explain why they usually cry more，he suggests．
[4]Unsurprisingly，Dr Frey's study seemed to prove that most people ________after a good cry．And sex has nothing to do with it-the result was true for women and men．So，next time you feel like bursting into tears，go ahead．If Dr Frey is right，you'll be doing yourself a favor．

2．[1]A number of human foods are dangerous to pets．Many of these foods may seem tasty to our pets but can prove deadly if eaten．It can be very tempting to offer pets food from the table，but pets should not be given human food unless recommended（推薦） by your vet（獸醫(yī)）．

Grapes and raisins can cause sudden kidney（腎） failure in cats and dogs．It is unknown what the toxic agent is in these fruits．However，clinical signs can occur within 24 hours of eating and include vomiting，diarrhea，and lethargy （tiredness）．Other signs of illness relate to the eventual shutdown of kidney functioning．
[4]Garlic and Onions
Garlic（蒜） and onions（洋蔥） contain chemicals ________________ red blood cells in cats and dogs．Affected red blood cells can lose their ability to carry oxygen effectively．Cooking these foods does not reduce their potential toxicity（毒性）．Fresh，cooked，and/or powdered garlic and/or onions are commonly found in baby food，which is sometimes given to animals when they are sick，so be sure to read food labels carefully．
