Rice is one of those foods that you always make way too much of and end up eating leftovers for lunch the next day. But no complaints, leftover rice still tastes just as good, unlike leftover French fries. There are smart ways to use your leftovers. But, most people don’t know that leftover rice is extremely accessible to food poisoning.
Bacillus Cereus
Uncooked rice has cells that are able to reproduce quickly called Bacillus cereus. Bacillus cereus can cause food poisoning, and it is able to survive on the rice even when it’s cooked. That’s why there are some food poisoning myths that you may ignore.
The Way to Store
It has nothing to do with the way the rice is reheated, but rather the way the rice is stored after you first cook it. The trouble comes when you leave your rice sitting out a room temperature right after you cook it. When left out the spores can grow into bacteria and multiply causing you to get food poisoning when you eat your leftovers the next day.
As you probably guessed, the longer the rice is left out after you cook it, the
B. Get the horses.
C. Go to the
more likely it is that it will get food poisoning. The National Health Service recommends keeping your cooked rice out for no longer than an hour. It’s best to get it in the fridge as soon as possible.
Try to Know More
Take the time to break out the food storage container and put your leftover foods in the fridge before you dig into your dinner. You’ll thank yourself later. And to make sure you don’t get sick eating some other type of leftover, make sure you know about the other foods that commonly cause food poisoning. 21. The passage is mainly written to .
A. state some benefits of eating rice B. teach people how to cook delicious rice C. warn us of danger of eating leftover rice D. introduce the disease caused by food poisoning 22. When rice is cooked, Bacillus Cereus can .
A. still survive on it B. be completely ignored C. reproduce cells quickly D. do no harm to people’s health
23. According to the writer, how to store your leftover rice?
A. Keep it warm for a long time. B. Reheat it over and over again. C. Get it in the fridge immediately. D. Place it out at room temperature.
B
It wouldn’t be accurate to say that heights make Kathie nervous. Terrified would be more accurate. Or just plain “scared to death.”But what on earth was she doing on top of a 50-foot rappelling(绳索垂降) tower? I mean, besides screaming.
The answer isn’t easy, but it is surprisingly simple. What it comes down to is this: Kathie was part of a team, and she refused to let them down. With their support she was able to conquer fear. She climbed the ladder step by painful step, hitched
herself to the rappelling ropes, cautiously backed over the edge and dropped herself down. It wasn’t pretty with all of the screaming. But she did it. And that was the important thing.
The next day I asked Kathie if the experience helped her to overcome her fear of heights. “Define ‘overcome,’” she said. “Well, are you less afraid of heights now?” I asked. “Is bungee jumping up next for you?” “You’ ve got to be kidding,” Kathie said, laughing. “I’m just as afraid as I ever was.” “So basically, this experience didn’t really do anything for you,” I observed. “Sure it did,” she said. “It didn’t remove my fear. But it helped me prove to myself that I could do something despite my fear.” “Even though you’re still afraid?” “Exactly,” she said. “It turns out that the height of the tower wasn’t really the issue. Fear was the issue. And my team gave me the courage I needed to handle the fear.” “And that’s something you’ll remember next time you’re up on a rappelling tower?” “Hopefully,” she said confidentially, “there will never be a next time.”
OK, so maybe she isn’t exactly a profile in courage. Or is she?
Most of us would probably define “courage” using words like “bold,” “fearless” and “unafraid.” But as I consider Kathie’s experience, it seems to me that those qualities don’t have a lot to do with courage. The fearless person needs no courage. Same with the person who is boldly unafraid. Real courage is the ability to overcome fear in order to do what needs to be done.
For people like Kathie, the important thing is finding the right foundation upon which to build a courageous response – and then responding. Courageously. With or without the screaming. No matter how nervous, terrified, or just plain scared we may be.
24. Why was Kathie on top of the tower?
A. She thought it exciting. B. She wanted to scream on it. C. She hated to disappoint her team. D. She meant to show off her courage.
25. According to the conversation, we can learn that Kathie .
