11、, there are as many gazpachos (西班牙冷汤菜）as there are Spanish people. Every family here has its own recipe with its own little changes. I much prefer gazpacho mil do in a food mill，as that: allows tor some texture (口感），and that is the way it was made when I was young, Nowadays it is done in a blender,
12、an electric machine tor mixing soft foods mil liquid together, but it does not torn out exactly the same. Machine-blended gazpacho with bread and olive oil is more like a salmorejo (chilled tomato soup) , but without that soups creamy smoothness. Although tomatoes and peppers arrived on our tables b
13、y the 16th century, red gazpachos that mod them did not become popular until the 19th century. Big landowner families that had a lot of country employees generally had a “gazpachero”， a man who would prepare gazpacho for the peasants working on their estates. These men made gazpacho by pounding the
14、vegetable mixture in an olive wood bowl, as in a mortar. They were very patients,as it took quite some time. The main difference between gazpacho and some of its variations lies in texture and emulsion (乳状液).In a classic Spanish gazpacho,olive oil is simply stirredin at the end； in salmorejo, porra
15、and other soups? the olive oil is emulsified, resulting in rd brighter orange colour and a smooth, creamy texture. Pipirranas components are the same as those in gazpacho，but they arc cut into pieces； with the addition of a little water or ice cubes，it turns into a liquid salad，and the bread is serv
16、ed separately ，for dipping. Gazpacho is a sophisticated (复杂的)dish that takes to a multitude of variations. But with all its versatility (易变），it still requires a certain balance of components. In particular, too much vinegar or garlic can ruin it Here in Spain，gazpacho can be a drink，a a dip，a sauce
17、or seasoning, a starter* a main dish，even a dessert. It is eaten at any time ot the day and at any time during a meal. Nothing is more delicious than a piece of toast with a little gazpacho or salmorejo for breakfast! Gazpacho goes well with almost everything but is difficult to pair with wine. The

Most of us listen to our favorite music while
21、 jogging in the park or while working out in the gym, but we never think of it as more than just an accompaniment to our exercisc routine. But recent scientific research has thrown light on the fact that using the “right” music while exercising can do you a whole lot of good: from creating a feeling
22、 of positivity to calming any anxious feelings.Research on the effects of music during exercise has been done for years. In 1911，an American researcher, Leonard Ayres, found that cyclists pedaled faster while listening to music than they did in silence.This happens because listening to music can dro
23、wn out our brains cries of fatigue. As our body realizes were tired and wants to stop exercising, it sends signals to the brain to stop for a break. Listening to music competes for our brains attention, and can help us to overcome those signals of fatigue, though this is mostly beneficial for low-an
24、d moderate-intensity exercise. During high-intensity exercise, music isnt as powerful as pulling our brains attention away from the pain of the workout.Not only can we manage to exercise longer and harder when we listen to music, but it can actually help us to use our energy more efficiently. A 2015
25、 study showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7% less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence. So in the same way that exercising makes us happier, its not surprising that music adds significantly to our work-out success.What have you noticed about how music affects yo

My parents noti
29、ced I was pale and always thirsty. They had me tested to see if my blood sugar was high because they thought that might be causing my symptoms.My blood sugar was five times higher than normal.

30、 I had Type 1 Diabetes (糖尿病).That means my body cant make insulin (胰岛素).Theres no cure.My parents had to give me insulin shots every day and I had to get over my fear of needles quickly. Sometimes I had 10 band-aids on my fingers at once.Now that Im older, I check my own blood sugar and give myself
31、shots. About four years ago, my mom started traveling to rural Guatemala. She goes twice a year to help people in need.I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. For a Girl Scout project, I put together a team to go to Guatemala to test people there for diabetes. We went for four days last July. W

She cried when we told her. She had been feeling dizzy and didnt know why. It was like replaying what happened to me when I wa

But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in different cultures.People from the USA as well as other North A
38、mericans believe “Time is money”. This value of time is rooted in their ancestors. Early in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land. To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggle day and night. Time meant so much to them that they had not
39、even one second to waste. After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficient use of time and passed it down. Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective(深思熟虑的) people.In some countries, the American work style of speeding every
40、thing up will have no significance. In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster service you get. Close relatives take absolute priority; non-relatives are kept waiting. In the Middle East, a deadline, which is often established to show the degree of urgency or importance of work, will d
41、o nothing but stop the Middle Easterners from working, because they consider it rude and overly demanding.Another aspect reflecting different concepts of time is the classification of monochronic-time and polychronic-time by Edward T Hall. People from monchronic(共时性的) cultures, such as the Germans,
42、the Austrians, the Swiss and the Americans, do only one important thing at a time. In polychromic(多元时间模式的) cultures, people such as Arab, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach. They do several things at once. Time commitments, e.g. deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casua
43、lly and changed often and easily. Miscommuication will arise when people from two cultures contact.
