A day in the life of 18-year-old David L...

    A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking. “Some nights I’m up until 1 a.m. making pies, or even later if we’re cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen machines,” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity(慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity. Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties in a similar way: the host pays for the ingredients(食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave cooking alone until they finish high school.

1.Why does Lanster and Moran cook now?

A.To get gifts from guests. B.To raise money for charity.

C.To become cooks. D.To make healthier eating choices.

2.What can we infer about Lanster and Moran?

A.They will give up cooking forever.

B.They are sure about their future jobs.

C.Their parents support cooking as a job.

D.They will stop cooking for college application.

3.How can we best describe Lanster and Moran?

A.Selfish and reliable. B.Creative and helpful.

C.Confident and careful. D.Outgoing and patient.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Great Cook B.Eat as you Wish

C.Helping by Cooking D.Cooking for School Fees

 

1.B 2.D 3.B 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lanster and Kelly Moran热衷于烹饪,并以举办私人晚宴的方式来为慈善团体筹款的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段中Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity(慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices. 以及the host pays for the ingredients(食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.“兰斯特和莫兰关注的是Common Threads,这是一家慈善机构,帮助贫困社区的孩子做饭,并做出健康的饮食选择。主人为食材买单,客人向慈善机构捐款” 可知,兰斯特和莫兰现在要做饭是为慈善事业筹款。故选B。 2.推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications.“在厨房外,两人正忙着准备大学申请。”由此判断出,为了申请大学,他们将停止烹饪。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据文章Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them可知,他们的饭菜有17道菜,都是他们做的,由此判断出,他们很有创造性,Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity他们的客人过去常常给他们礼物来感谢他们,这两个人决定为慈善事业做点好事。由此判断出他们乐于帮助别人。结合选项,故选B。 4.主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity(慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices.以及the host pays for the ingredients(食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.兰斯特和莫兰关注的是Common Threads,这是一家慈善机构,帮助贫困社区的孩子做饭,并做出健康的饮食选择。主人为食材买单,客人向慈善机构捐款。由此推知本文的最佳标题是C项“ 通过烹饪帮助别人”。故选C。

    1.Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.

My kids tell me it’s unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that’s right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It’s true that many things in the world are unfair.2.For example, the early bird catches the worm. It’s unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it’s nice to know that if it gets up early it’s sure to get the worm.

I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere.3.Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength. When you empower yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self-esteem (自尊).4. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.

5.If you haven’t yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it’s Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.

A.You should look at your place in the world.

B.Instead, make the most of it and get on the other side of it.
