Most of the time, fishermen catch more fish than they need for their immediate use. The extra fish can be dried or smoked for a later meal. First, however, the fish must be cleaned and salted.
Put the cleaned fish in a mixture of 300g of salt and one liter of water to remove all of the blood from the fish meat. Keep them there for about 30 minutes. Then remove all the fish and wash them in clean water. Now, put them in a mixture which should be strong enough so that the fish float to the top. Cover the container with a clean piece of wood. Hold the wood down with a heavy stone. Leave the fish there for about 6 hours. Then, remove them from the salt water and lay them on a clean place. Cover them with a clean piece of white cloth. Let them dry.
Another method of salting fish is called dry salting. After cleaning the fish, put a few of them on the bottom of a wooden box or basket. Cover them with salt. Continue putting fish and salt in the container until it is full. (Do not use too much salt when using the dry salt method. You should use 1 part salt to 3 parts fish.) Remove the fish after a week or 10 days. Wash them in a mixture of water and a small amount of salt. Let them dry.
A. With all this talk about salt, remember that doctors advise people to limit the sodium(钠) in their diet. It can raise blood pressure, and some people have a greater reaction than others.

Many players like video games based on sports. The Madden series, for example, is very popular. These are named for TV football commentator John Madden, a former coach.
And players have been known to spend hours playing games developed from spy films like the James Bond movies. People who like frightening movies may also like a game series called "Resident Evil." It became popular with a storyline about a company that makes a virus. Victims infected with the virus turn into the undead and eat other people. Players say the games make them feel like they are living inside their own horror film.
Some games developed from traditional board games like backgammon or chess. Others grew from word games or from card games like solitaire and bridge. In 1889, a playing-card company opened in Japan. The company led to Nintendo.
In 1958, a scientist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York State developed a game he called "Tennis for Two." William Higinbotham played it on a scientific device called an oscilloscope. The scientist did not see that such a game could become widely popular. But others did.
By the early 1970s, people were playing a video game called "Pong." Two people would sit at a game machine and control a paddle to hit an electronic ball back and forth. Soon millions of people were playing "Pong." Many other games followed.
Today, as computers keep improving, people keep designing new games. And the public keeps buying them. As games become more and more realistic, we can only imagine what the future will look like in this electronic world.

What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants? It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 - the ticket included free milk from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength - in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the 3-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities. Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously (同时地) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
