六、阅读理解。
Ben's family is always trying to think of ways to give the environment a helping hand. What did they do this time? Well, it started simply enough.
One day, Ben brought a green cake to school. At lunch he shared his cake with us. “Delicious!”“Wonderful!” Everyone liked the beautiful and special cake made by his mother. We all wondered why and how she made this cake.
The cool story goes back a few weeks. The city started a new environment - friendly programme. The watermelon rind(厚皮) becomes a big problem in summer because it always ends up in too much rubbish.
One day, after seeing the cleaner working hard to pick up the heavy rubbish, Ben's mother said, “Surely, I can find a better way to use our own melon rind.”
After a lot of thinking, she brought out the blender(食物搅拌器) and cut the melon rind into small pieces. Then, she blended them. She got a big cup of green watermelon juice! The juice was full of vitamins. She mixed the juice with flour(面粉) and added some milk and honey. From there, she carefully made her delicious GREEN cake. Once she tasted it for the first time, she knew her cake was a great try of the melon eating. And it was nature - friendly too.
From now on, she doesn't need to worry about the heavy waste from eating melons. And every kid always wants more of her special cake. There are even many other mothers in the neighbourhood learning how to make the green cakes.
