Enjoying tasty food is as important as preparing good food. Read the following ways that will help you enjoy food better.

The right way to eat cupcakes

Although cupcakes don't require a knife or a spoon, taking the first bite of a cupcake can lead to a top-heavy cupcake with an uneven(不均匀的) ratio of icing(糖霜). But according to Foodbeast, if you eat a cupcake, break off the bottom first, and place it over the icing, you‘ll end up with a cupcake-icing sandwich that offers you both cake and icing in every bite.

The proper order for hot lobsters(龙虾)

James Cornwall, head cook at a London seafood restaurant J Sheekey, told British GQ that, when eating hot lobsters, you should eat the tail first because it gets cold the fastest.

Plus, eating lobster in this order can be cleaner when it comes to clearing up the lobster's shell.

Amazon is reportedly working on a free, ad-supported music offering as another option to its paid Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music services to better compete with Apple Music, Google Music and Spotify. According to Billboard, the free plan could go live as soon as possible. At this time, the service is only available in the US for users who request music by a trial version (HIA), but a full-fledged version of the free ad- based music service is expected to be launched sometime in the future.

Billboard reports that Amazon is now in talks to make an ad-based free level available for its music service. The company is expected to advertise the plan with its Echo speakers. By now, Amazon Music Unlimited runs $ 10 per month standalone (单机), the same as Apple Music and Sportify. Meanwhile Prime Music offers Amazon Prime members a more limited selection of content for no extra charge. A new ad supported free level would make Amazon the third music offering.

Billboard notes that it's not clear how many paying users Amazon currently has, though it may have been around 20 million last year for all of its services. In contrast, Apple Music reportedly hit 28 million paying users in the US alone, beaten by Spotify.

Amazon hasn't disclosed how many paying music users it has, but some reports last year estimated it counts over 20 million users across its offerings and expect it to gain steadily thanks to integration with its market-leading smart speakers.

But Spotify is still the market leader for global users when it comes to music services with close to 100 million users. Amazon’s move could attract more and more users.

32. What does the underlined word "full-fledged" in paragraph 1mean?

A. Modern.   B. Junior.   C. Powerful.   D. Perfect.

33. What can we infer about Amazon from the second paragraph?

A. It wants support from users.

B. It has too many advertisements.

C. It would be the third biggest Music offering.

D. It will lose more free users.

34. Which of the following has the most music users?

A. Spotify.    B. Amazon.   C. Google Music.   D. Apple Music.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Amazon has the most piece of music.

B. Amazon will release a free music service.

C. Amazon will defeat Apple Music and Spotify.

D. Amazon has defeated Apple Music and Spotify.

Last Saturday, a thing made me very embarrassed. That day one of my friends who had just returned from abroad invited me to her house.

Early that day I went to a supermarket to buy some gifts, There had been a lot of customers in it when I got there, I spent nearly an hour choosing the gifts, After I paid the bill and was passing through the door, the alarm suddenly rang. It was loud enough to wake the dead, I got a terrible shock. Worse still, I found a lot of people looking this way, which made me rater nervous. Immediately, a security guard walked towards me. He ordered me to follow him to a certain place, I felt so upset and I was puzzled. I didn't move until the young security guard had asked me several more times.

At that point he wanted me to go into a small room. I told him that I did nothing wrong and didn't want to do as he told me, so I stopped at the door. Finding me unwilling to enter the room, he shouted at me. I felt burnt in my face and didn’t want to be in trouble in front of others. I had to go into the small room. The manager of the market was there together with some other workers at the desk. They closed the door. I was so afraid that I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a sharp voice said in my ear, “Take out the things you have stolen!”

Hearing that, I nearly cried.

“ I stole nothing,” I said. But they didn’t believe me.

“Do as I told you. If we find them, you will be in big trouble.”
