[2026 湖北孝感期末]①
Billy always loved blueberries. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, and many more kinds of juice. He'd never made blueberry juice before.

② First, Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They picked blueberries for an hour and got some. It was hard work to pick the little berries from the trees. And Billy understood why they are expensive in stores.
③Next, they had to wash the fruit and dry it. After that, they put the berries into the blender and then turned on the blender. When the blueberries turned into dark purple juice, they turned off the blender and poured the juice into a pot.
④When they tasted the juice, they could really taste the blueberries. But it wasn't very sweet. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar from a bag to the berries. It was better to use naturally sweet juice, like apple juice, pear juice, or grape juice. They used grape juice, because the grapes had a similar colour to the blueberries.
⑤Finally, they could drink it. It was a lot of work to make the juice, but it tasted so nice!
