Do you know how to raise gold fish? If not, let me share some tips with you.
First, prepare a fish jar with water 1-2 days before gold fish are put in it.After that, go and buy some gold fish and carry them in a plastic package.Then put the fish together with the plastic hour.In this way, the temperatures of the water in the plastic package and in the fish jar can become the same.Then empty the water in the plastic package and put the fish into the jar; at the same time, add some salt so as to kill the germs (细菌) in the water.
Second, make sure there is enough space for the fish in one jar.If there are too many fish in one jar, they cannot breathe enough oxygen.
Third, too much feeding is strictly prohibited.Some people fear that the fish will become hungry so they feed them several times one day.However, it will pollute the water if the extra food goes rotten.This is bad for gold fish.
Fourth, we should know that changing the water frequently is not good for gold fish.When should we change the water? There is no definite time, but we should change it according to water quality.If it looks muddy, change a lot or all; otherwise, change a little.But remember that the water put in the jar should have a similar temperature to the original.The best way is to exchange one third or one quarter at a time.
Fifth, we had better put the jar in a place where it can get sunshine for 1-2 hours a day as the ultraviolet rays (紫外线) kill germs.What‟s more, the color of gold fish looks brighter in the sun.

A.prove he is good at raising gold fish

C.explain why gold fish are hard to raise
D.tell us how to raise gold fish well

Hey, did you hear the story about the beer-loving guy who was too lazy to drink his beer so he thought someone should figure out a way to deep fry beer to save time? Well, he has done it.“I was lazy.I figured, „Why should I have to drink and eat when I can just eat?‟ I wanted a pretzel (盐椒卷饼), I wanted beer and I found a way to combine them,” said inventor Mark Zable.
Mark started experimenting to make the combination himself, but the beer-and-dough mixture kept exploding when dropped into the fryer and burnt him sometimes.Mark consulted a food scientist, but still, no luck.Then, earlier this year, Mark Zable found the recipe for succe after three years of trying out various cooking methods!
He puts beer inside a pretzel-dough pocket and puts it into hot oil for 20 seconds, but he keeps everything else about the proce to himself.It is a busine secret.When eaten, the dough mixes with the beer to create the combination taste sensation (感觉) of biting into a hot pretzel dough and then taking a sip of beer.
