During my last summer holiday, I go to France with my father to do some sightseeing. On third day, our bus pulled into a motorway service station. Our guide told us we wouldn’t stop again that day, so we had to eat a meal in the only restaurant here. There was a problem. When I asked about fish, in my terrible French, the assistant thought I wanted chickens. Anyway, ten minutes late, I got my meal. I thought the food would be dull, what wasn't the case at all. Wonderfully cooking, it tasted delicious and had been nothing in common with my motorway food elsewhere. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so surprising as this, after all, was France.

At just 17, McGarry is a rising star of the food world and has been dubbed(……取别名) the “Justin Bieber” of American cooking.

Flynn McGarry's cooking career started when he was 11, partly thanks to his mother. “My mom didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, I didn't really like her food. I was watching something on the Food Network channel and I thought, ‘I could do this,’ so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.”

Within a year, he had produced most of its recipes(菜谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge. He said, “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started to cook for more people than just my family too.” His parents allowed him to build a test kitchen in his bedroom. “At first, they were fine with it, but then they asked if I wanted to sleep next to a stove(火炉) and I said yes ! It started off as two tables with some gas burners, my desk and my bed, but then I needed more space for cooking，so I gave up the desk and got a foldaway bed(折叠床).” Then Flynn'S older sister, whose bedroom had more space, went off to college. He moved down to her room and fitted it with a large stove, four work stations, and a long area for preparing the end results on plates.

Flynn and his mother set up Eureka, a supper club pop-up business that organizes monthly events inside his room. Flynn, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he’s not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. “At the point in your life where you stop caring if you,re going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my gift and people recognized it. I hope to keep getting better and better.

1.Why did Flynn begin to cook?

My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.

One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.”

By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?”

I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

Last Sunday, I went to a shop to have my watch repair. After checking the watch, the shop assistant said she would call her manager to see that if this kind of problem could be fixed. As I was waiting the response from the manager, I saw an old man in a wheelchair roll himself over to the counter. No one seems to have noticed him, so I went over to his wheelchair and offered to give him some helps. Kindly as I was, I found that I could do something to help him. At that moment, the assistant replied that it would cost myself much money to fix this problem. I was very sad and about to leave the shop while the old man said, “You are a nice and thoughtful boy, but I would like to help you pay for it.”

When the novelist Luis Alberto Urrea was 14 or 15, he took a trip deep into Mexico. He was born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and a white American mother before moving just across the border and eventually into the San Diego suburbs. But his father thought he was becoming “too American,” and took him on a 27-hour journey to Mazatian. Along the way, his father gave him a paperback copy of The Godfather and told him it would change his life. “I don't think he was trying to make a case for us being criminals,” Urrea says, “but he really felt this incredible connection to the family and the traditions and the honor for the old country, as people were making their way in the U.S.”

In his new novel The House of Broken Angels, Urrea has written his own opinion on the Godfather story with a Mexican-American Don Corleone figure at its center. The story takes place over two days, as Big Angel de la Cruz buries his mother and celebrates his final birthday party on earth; he knows he's dying, and he's gathered his extended family around him for a noisy and lively goodbye.

The idea was inspired by the final birthday party of Urrea's elder brother three years ago. “Everybody was jammed in his backyard, and there was a DJ and people dancing and consuming a serious amount of American junk food-they didn't want Mexican food, they wanted KFC and pizza. I thought, where are the tacos (a kind of Mexican tood), guy? And my brother sat in his little chair in the middle of it. People were coming to him and kneeling, and they would thank him and kiss his hand or touch his head and tell him all the ways he had changed their lives.”

Urrea's brother died of cancer within two weeks at 74, and the heartbreaking event haunted the author. He considered writing a memoir(回忆录)about it-“I was thinking about Truman Capote, when he did those tiny books about Christmas and Thanksgiving.” But his wife encouraged him to aim bigger. When he found himself seated next to the writer Jim Harrison at a dinner event, he shared the story, and Harrison said, “Sometimes God hands you a novel. You have to write it.” Urrea thought to himself “Marching orders from Jim Harrison-this is good stuff. A kid from Tijuana doesn't get that very often.”

The House of Broken Angels is a celebration of the Mexican-American family, but it also includes moments of frustration with this country's treatment of the immigrant group. Before he got too sick to work, Big Angel worked in an office and drank coffee from a cup that read BOSS. “Yeah, the employees all got the message,” Urrea writes. “The Mexican-American was calling himself their boss.” In a grocery store, a woman screams at two of his family members that they'll be kicked out of the country soon. “I had to bite down on the bitterness of my rage(愤怒),man!” Urrea says. “I was having some pretty serious response to Donald Trump's confusing and empty talk. But you know, it may have shocked a lot of the United States to hear this kind of empty talk and this bald-faced racialism of politics all of a sudden, but to us, this stuff isn't a surprise?”

“I really wanted to write a tribute(致敬)to my brother, to my family and to us, but it's also a love song to the country,”Urrea says. “I think people have this weird, horrible view...that immigrants are evil snakes. People don't understand that immigration is truly a statement of love for this country, whatever the country represents. People want to be here and work.” And with persistence, they become the boss.

1.Why did Urrea's father give him the book The Godfather?

A.He wanted Urrea to enjoy the 27-hour journey. B.He thought the book had changed his own life.

C.He tried to show Urrea a real case of criminals. D.He hoped Urrea would feel connected to Mexico.

2.The question “where are the tacos, guy?” in Paragraph 3 probably suggests______.

A.Mexican traditions have been left behind B.the people like American junk food best

C.it is difficult to buy the Mexican food D.the tacos are popular with everyone there

3.We can learn from Paragraph 5 that______.

A.Big Angel himself was the boss of his office B.Mexican immigrants were treated unfairly

C.Urrea's family were kicked out of the country D.Urrea heard Trump's talk ahead of time

4.The House of Broken Angels mainly focuses on the novelist's______.

A.love for the Mexican-American family B.life in the Mexican-American family

C.mixed feelings towards American people D.mature reflection on Mexican traditions

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (仔细考虑) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.”

Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

1.Why did the writer first think “ears” were the most important part of body?

A.Because he thought that the sound was sweet to hear.

B.Because he thought that the sound was essential to humans.

C.Because he thought that the sound can be heard by people.

D.Because he thought that the sound can pass through quickly.

2.What happened to the writer’s family last year in the passage?

A.His house was burnt.

B.His mother left home.

C.His grandpa passed away.

D.His father was hurt in an accident.

3.Where did the writer get the correct answer from his mother?

A.At home. B.At the school.

C.At the station. D.At the funeral.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.We should learn to understand others’ pain.

B.We should listen to our mothers’ words.

C.We should hold up our head high.

D.We should often cry in life.

One of my second graders, Debbie, had been unusually quiet in my Family Living class. When I asked her if something was wrong, she replied, “I don't feel like talking today. I'm sad. My best friend's parents are going to get divorced（离婚的）. Her father moved out of the house. I told her I would share my dad with her, but I know it isn't the same. ”

I was surprised to learn that almost every child in my primary grade Family Living classes seemed to have some personal acquaintance （了解）with divorce—through friends of the family, neighbors, relatives, or much closer to home—their own parents. For many of them, divorce was just a normal part of life. Emily once said, “I want to be a doctor or nurse when I grow up, so after I get married and divorced, I'll be able to support myself. Then there was Billy, who stated, “When my mom gets married again next week, we're all going on a honeymoon.

Sometimes parents fight about the kids," said Kimberly. “My parents are divorced and my mom keeps pulling on one of my arms and my dad pulls the other. ” How sad, I thought, that a child would feel like her parents were actually pulling her apart because they each wanted more of her than the other should. “I hate that my parents are divorced! exclaimed Greg. “It's all my fault, too. I bite my nails too much. ”

Lori tried to look at things from a more positive perspective. “Your mother and father got mad at each other, but it doesn't mean they got mad at you," said Lori. “Lori is right," I said. Sometimes a husband and wife realize that they no longer love each other and decide it will be best for the whole family if they don't live together anymore. But that doesn't mean they stop loving their children, and it certainly doesn't mean that it is the children's fault!

“Maybe your mom and dad will change their minds and get undevoured,” Eric told Greg. “Then you can all be together again. ” Greg shook his head. “No, that won't happen. ” And then, with a thoughtful expression on his face, he said, “You know something? Divorce is like a cake. You cut it in half and it's separated forever. ”

1.Why did Debbie feel sad?

A.Debbie’s best friend’s parents were going to get divorced.

B.Debbie’s parents were getting divorced.

C.Her father moved out of the house.

D.She didn't want to share her dad with others.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A.It's the children's fault that leads to parents' divorce.

B.It's acceptable for parents to get divorced if they don't love each other.

C.Parents usually get mad at the kid when they get mad with each other.

D.Parents usually ignore their children when they plan to get divorced.

3.According to the text, what is the author?

A.A teacher. B.An officer. C.A writer. D.A doctor.

Something strange happened when I was 14 years old. Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!

During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”

After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.

I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and concerned looks, and the table was loaded with untouched plates.

“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.

The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.

And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.

On an afternoon in 2014 in Denmark, Decan Andersen saw a baby red squirrel fall from his apartment building and land in the middle of his garden, injured and bleeding. Although concerned, Andersen left the squirrel alone and went inside, thinking that the mother would come and rescue him.

But when that didn’t happen, the 37-year-old former television salesman knew what he had to do. He brought the furry baby back and got in touch with wildlife officials for advice. And while he was on the phone, a strange thing happened: His cat Coco’s motherly instincts took hold, washing him with his tongue and warming him up. Later, after a veterinarian (兽医) had dressed the squirrel’s wounds, Andersen made his new housemate some tiny sweaters and socks to prevent him from scratching his wounds.

Then Tintin---named after the movie his children were watching, “The Adventure of Tintin”---got so used to his cozy home life during his convalescence that the family soon realized they couldn’t release him back into the wild, especially since he now had no fear of cats! Feeding him kitten milk from a bottle until Tintin grew strong enough to crack nuts on his own, Andersen received special permission from Danish Wildlife Preservation officials to keep the red squirrel, since they are considered endangered in Denmark and several other countries.

Using a little harness(甲胄) and leash(安全绳) to protect Tintin from the dogs, eagles and cats that weren’t as tolerant of squirrels as Coco, Andersen began taking his little pet everywhere he went, documenting their adventures on Facebook and Instagram, where they now have almost 40, 0000 followers.

“With so much negativity in the world, I thought it could help lift people up,” Andersen said. “Most people who meet us feel amazed and want to know more. He makes people forget about their troubles for a moment so they can laugh and smile. He’s certainly brought light and enjoyment to me and my family. We have a special bond and are pretty much together, 24/7. ”

1.How did Andersen respond to the injured squirrel at first?

A.He left it as it was

B.He called wildlife officials

C.He went to rescue it right away

D.He hid himself in his apartment

2.What does the underlined word “convalescence” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Immigration B.Catastrophe

C.Recovery D.Survival

3.What can be inferred about red squirrel in the passage?

A.They are uncommon in Denmark

B.It is generally forbidden to keep them

C.It is hard for them to coexist with humans

D.They can keep on good terms with wildcats

4.What does Andersen think of the relationship with Tintin?

A.It is annoying B.It is discouraging

C.It is solid D.It is uplifting
