Today, we learn how to prepare dried fish. www.
First, clean the freshly caught fish. Remove everything inside. Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them.
Next, put the fish in a container with a solution(溶液) of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will remove the blood from the meat.
Keep the fish in the salt water for about thirty minutes. Then remove them and wash them in clean water. Now, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water. It should be salty enough so that the fish float to the top. If the fish sink to the bottom, add more salt to the water in the container.
Cover the container with a clean piece of wood. Hold the wood down with a heavy stone. Leave the fish there for about six hours. After that, remove them from the salt water and place them on a clean surface. Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry. Don’t let them be too dry or they will not taste good.
Another method of preparing fish is called dry salting. Wooden boxes or baskets are used for dry salting.
After cleaning the fish, put them on the bottom of the box or basket. Cover them with salt. Put more fish on top. Cover them with salt too. Continue putting fish and salt in the container until it is full.
Do not use too much salt when using the dry salting method. You should use one part salt to three parts fish. For example, if you have three kilograms of fish, you should use one kilogram of salt.
Remove the fish after a week or ten days. Wash them in a mixture of water and a small amount of salt and let them dry.

(2011年临沂高二期中测试)IQUIQUE, Chile (Reuters)― Rescue workers at the San Jose gold and copper mine in northern Chile had reason to sing this week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for 33 trapped miners, who spent 69 days underground. “Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply，” says a doctor at NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within a day or so. The first three recovered and went home Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The 32 Chileans and I Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse on 5th August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground. They had to stretch a twoday food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead. Later, they received supplies.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked about how the experience tested his faith. The last miner up was Luis Urzua, who was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than 24 hours－faster than expected. The rescue capsule was a halfmeter wide and known as the Phoenix, an imaginary bird from ancient stories. It bursts into flames but is continually reborn and rises from the ashes.
Chile’s Navy built the capsule with advice from mining experts and NASA engineers. It worked like an elevator, traveling up and down on a cable through a shaft(竖井)drilled 622 meters into the rocks.
Millions of people around the world watched the rescue. More than one thousand journalists traveled to the mine in the Atacama Desert to report on the rescue. They joined family members of the miners and rescue crews housed in an area of tents known as Camp Hope.
1．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Rescued miners speak out
B．Miners’ life deep underground
C．A rebirth for 33 rescued miners in Chile
D．Chilean president honors rescued miners
2．How many rescued miners are still in hospital?
A．3. B．30.
C．33. D．69.
3．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．all the trapped miners are Chileans
B．the Chileans rescued the miners alone
C．the rescue caught the world’s attention
D．the trapped miners lived easily underground
4．Which of the following is true of the Phoenix?
A．It was a wooden cage like a capsule.

A．33 trapped miners were saved

deep
