　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　Some people love eating food right after it is cooked.I prefer food just taken out from the freezer.Fruit, candies, nuts, chocolate, cake with buttercream frosting (糖霜), even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen.In fact, I often eat them that way.

　　I was a kid when I picked up the habit.In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer - finally, two freezers - to prevent them from going bad.Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.

　　If we eat when they are still warm, we'll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should.It's better if we can put them into the freezer and wait.That way we'll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort.That's the point about frozen buttercream frosting.Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it's gone very quickly.But when it's frozen, you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts (融化) in your mouth.

　　The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly.Take frozen grapes for example.I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer.They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved.They are perfect and healthy dessert (点心). This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas ...You might think bananas would get super­hard when frozen.Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet.If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.

　　As long as you aren't eating anything that truly has to be hot go ahead and experiment.
