Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag

Difficulty: Very Easy

Average User Rating:★★★★☆(4.3/5)

Milk can become homemade ice cream in five minutes by using a bag! This homemade, creamy treat is a summertime delight for your kids and you alike.

What you’ll need:

1 tablespoon of sugar; 1/2 cup of milk; 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla (香草香精); 6 tablespoons of rock salt; 1 small-sized plastic food storage bag; 1 gallon-sized plastic food storage bag; ice cubes.

How to make it:

l Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.

l Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.

l Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.

l Shake until the mixture turns into ice cream, which takes about five minutes.

l Wipe the top of the small bag, and then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tips:

1/2 cup of milk will make about one spoon of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don’t increase the amount more than that—a large amount might be too big for kids to pick up because the ice itself is heavy.

Here is another version of the homemade ice cream recipe from another parent!

These are the homemade ice cream ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla butter and nuts; 1 tablespoon of sugar; 1/2 cup of milk.

These are the other supplies:

Plastic sandwich bag; 12 salt pellets; 1 dish of ice; large plastic bag.

Put the ice cream ingredients in the small bag, and then put the bag, salt and ice in the big bag. Hold the bag shut and move it around on the floor for about 5 minutes.

When I made ice cream at home last time, although the salt pellets didn’t really dissolve (溶解) that well, I still got ice cream. It was not smooth ice cream, probably because of the low-fat milk. It was incredible that it could be ready in 5 minutes (not counting preparing the ingredients)

Next, I changed the recipe, using a tablespoon of cocoa, a tablespoon of sugar, and a cup of milk. It was a bit too chocolaty, but good!

1.The underlined “that” in “Tips” section refers to ____.

A.1/2 cup of milk                         B.1 cup of milk

C.1 spoon of ice cream                     D.2 spoons of ice cream

2.Which of the following things is NOT included in both recipes?

A.Sugar            B.Ice               C.Plastic bag         D.Nuts

3.Which of the following statements about the second parent is TRUE?

A.He/ She doesn’t agree with the first parent.

B.He/ She doesn’t think five minutes is enough

C.He/ She doesn’t like cocoa better than nuts.

D.He/ She doesn’t think the chocolaty tastes bad.

 

【答案】

1.B

2.D

3.D

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了两个配方的家庭自制冰激凌的做法。

1.B 推理题。根据本句1/2 cup of milk will make about one spoon of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don’t increase the amount more than that说明1/2就可以制作one spoon,如果你还想多的,就加倍,那么就是一杯,但是数量不要再超过这个量了,那么这里的that就是指一杯的牛奶。故B项正确。

2.D 细节题。根据文章的两个配方可知都需要糖,冰和塑料袋,没有提及都使用nuts故D项符合要求。

3.D 推理题。根据This homemade, creamy treat is a summertime delight for your kids and you alike.说明在夏天这样的冰激凌对于孩子们来说是很快乐的事情,那么说明这样的冰激凌的味道很好,故D项正确。

Three years ago, when my co-worker, Andrea, asked if I’d like to come to a clothing exchange, I was confused. “What s that?” I asked. “A group of us who are about the same size are getting together to exchange clothes that we don’t often wear but are really in good condition,” she explained. “Count me in!” I said immediately.

That night, I sorted through my closet, finding shirts, skirts and pants I hadn’t worn for months—or years! I looked at the clothes I’d grown tired of and wondered if anyone would want them. When I arrived at Andrea’s, I found a group of co-workers— and piles of clothes scattered(散落) around the living room. I also found nice homemade food and wine to enjoy. We chatted for a while, and then the exchange began. We drew lots, each taking turns selecting from the piles. Hey! I noticed. There went my blouse…and my jacket! I guessed my “tired” clothes did look special to new eyes. w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

Then, the floor was open to everyone and a free-for-all followed as we ran around choosing and trying things on. And as our choices were made, we came back to the dining room to eat and talk.

Now our “Exchange club” has become a tradition and we exchange everything from kitchen gadgets(小器具) to houseplants, recipes(菜谱) and unwanted Christmas presents! w w w.k s 5 u.c o m

The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work, I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the ‘living thing’ was and why it was there. I don’t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing, Doug or me.  

The writer’s purpose in writing this story is ________.

  A. to tell an interesting experience

  B. to show the easiest way out of a difficulty

  B. She didn’t use the right kind of flour.

  C. The cookbook was hard to understand.

  D. She did not follow the directions closely.

Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?

  A. She didn’t see the use of keeping it

  B. She meant to joke with her husband.

  C. She didn’t want her husband to see it.

  D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.

What made the dough in the rubbish bin look frightening?

  A. The rising and falling movement.

  B. The strange-looking marks.

  C. Its shape.

  D. Its size.

When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was  ________.

  A. surprised at his being interested in the bin

  B. afraid that he would discover her secret

  C. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the meal

  D. curious to know what disturbed him

When our son, Alex, was young, he hated to travel. We endured refusals to visit one more museum, even if it was the Louvre. We coped with a child who resisted even a taste of onion soup in Paris and who insisted he would like nothing more than ordering room service at the hotel and watching TV.

Over the years, we have come up with several hard-earned but realistic strategies to help kids cope on long-distance trips.

First, we recognize that some children have trouble adjusting to new environments, food, time zones and schedules. So, in advance of a trip to England, we gave our son a taste of the new culture by making shepherd’s pie for supper. He loved the mashed potatoes, chopped meat and brown gravy(肉汁). For Italy, we sampled homemade pesto(香蒜沙司) served over linguine(扁面条). For Amsterdam, I cooked up a pot of comforting pea soup and baked a delicious apple pancake called pannekoeken. Then, when we traveled to these places, he ate these foods and they seemed like a taste of home.

In addition to food, we always sample the culture beforehand by reading books and renting movies from the countries we will be visiting. For Italy, the book Italian Folktales by Italo Calvino and the films Johnny Stecchino, Cinema Paradiso, and Il Postino gave our son a glimpse of the Italian way of life. For Britain, we rented Mr. Bean and Billy Elliot, and enjoyed stories by J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit. For Amsterdam, he finished The Diary of Anne Frank.

Before we leave home, we also ask Alex to go through our tour books and pick out activities that appeal to him. He was excited about visiting the London Dungeon and the Imperial War Museum, and taking a ride in the London Eye. They turned out to be big hits. Because Alex’s preferences were given equal attention, he was more tolerant of his parents’ selections, such as visiting Charters Cathedral and the Van Gogh Museum.

We’ve also learned the hard way that dragging our son out of bed early in the morning ,thus making him grumpy all day. Now that he is a teenager, we let him sleep in while we sip coffee at a café, work out at the hotel gym, or take a long walk. This makes our time together much more enjoyable

1.According to the writer, parents are advised to _______.

A. cook children’s favorite food

2.Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino are mentioned as _______.

3.The underlined word “grumpy” in the last paragraph is similar in meaning to _______.

A. bad-tempered           B. tolerant           C. energetic             D. nervous

4.Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?

A. Kids and Parents.                             B. Joys of Traveling.

C. Whether You Go or Not.                       D. How to motivate Kids to travel
