While for many a cook, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim : fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people's way of thinking about food and food waste.

With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to prevent this? For him,it really comes down to one important thing:"Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the remainder, what's avail. able, and then make a menu. This is what every cook should do."

He's clear on his solution. "Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor ( i), "Rudolf explains. "There are too many cooks who are trying to make their dishes too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves,and then they throw away the rest." He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.

He knows that one of his suppliers-a local farm--is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred cooks only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1, o00 legs of lamb in the freezer."And that's just one supplier," he says.

While other cooks will only accept the best ingredients (J) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. "Just because I'll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn't mean I'm going to serve food of a less quality. It's my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate," he says. As a cook, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste.

1. What is Rudolf's extra goal with his dishes?

[A] To create the fanciest meals ever. [B] To educate the public on food waste. [C] To encourage people to cook by themselves. [D] To get a job in Michelin-starred restaurant

2. What does Rudolf say about many cooks?

[A] They care too much about flavor. [B] They are too choosy about ingredients.
[C] They satisfy customers' needs to the full. [D] They would like to try out new cooking methods.

3. What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf?

[A] They overproduce greatly. [B] They have difficulty winning orders. [C] They have many unwanted left materials. [D] They fail to store their products properly

4. Which of the following best describes Rudolf?

Which is healthier:a pizza or a vegetable salad? That is an easy question. Now which is healthier:a pizza made by yourself or one made from the same basic ingredients (), pulled out of a box in the fridge?

Many people concerned with what they eat would immediately say the former, perhaps mentioning an unclear concern with "processed food" Such food can often be delicious. And there is much to cheer about: being cheap and plentiful calories, when for most of human history they were neither. But as Chris van Tulleken's new book, "Ultra-Processed People", explains that cheapness and plentifulness come at a cost.

Mr van Tulleken, a doctor and television presenter, tells the difference between "ultra-processed food" (UPF) and "processed food". Almost everything people eat is processed in some form \therefore rice is harvested, animals are butchered (J$). He uses an idea proposed by Carlos Monteiro, a food scientist, describing UPF as " products of ingredients, mostly of only industrial use, made by a series of industrial processes, many requiring advanced equipment and technology".

The additives in UPF harm people in a range of ways both known and unknown. Calorie-rich but usual. ly nutrient-poor, UPF contributes to overweight in part because its delicious taste and soft mouthfeel lead to overeating.

Because this food is cheap to produce and buy, UPF replaces healthier choices, particularly for poor people. Extra weight was once a sign of wealth, but among British and American women today, overweight rates are higher at lower-income levels.

Environment matters,too. People living in places where "UPF is everywhere but real food is hard to reach" could spend large amounts of time and money seeking out fresh food, but that is not how most people live. There is nothing wrong with the strange fast-food trip, but anyone who can afford to eat less UPF probably should.

1. How does the author introduce the topic?

[A] By presenting facts. [B] By listing figures.
[C] By raising questions. [D] By making comparisons.

2. Which of the following will Mr van Tulleken probably agree with?

[A] UPF is delicious and healthy. [B] Almost all food is processed.
[C] Processed food is unhealthy. [D] UPF is the same as processed food.

3. Which one is the cost of "ultra-processed food"?

[A] Delicious taste and overeating. [B] Soft mouthfeel and poor nutrition.
[C] Poor nutrition and overweight. [D] Industrial processes and overweight.

4. What is the author's attitude toward the "Ultra-processed food"?

[A] Hopeful. [B] Unclear. [C] Negative. [D] Positive.

So, where does maple syrup come from?

More than 70 % of the world's maple syrup comes from Quebec,4. (comfortable) making the Canadian province the global leader in maple syrup production. In Quebec, maple syrup stands as one of the biggest 5. (industry), with more than 13, 000 producers 6. (work) across over 7, 000 farms.

Sugar maples make up most of the trees used by maple farmers in Quebec, with red maples also common. The sap in these species contains high concentrations of sugar ( 1 . 5 % - 3 . 5 % ) , meaning more maple syrup can 9. (produce) from a smaller quantity () of sap.

About 15 years ago, I joined a program to promote Chinese in the LA Unified School District. As a firsttime visitor to Los Angeles, everything was new to me, even the old Chinatown.

Interestingly,it turned out that Chinatown seemed even more foreign to me. The restaurant in China. town I visited wasn't very big. I opened the menu and read it carefully, but soon I felt lost-I had never heard of most of the dishes before. For the first time in my life,I ordered "orange chicken" and my stomach wasn't quite cooperative (J) that day.

After living in North America for a total of about 13 years, I realized the Chinese food I've had in Amer. ica has been adapted and popularized by Chinese immigrants (R) in the Western world. I used to draw a clear line against such food, but now I even recommend some of those dishes to other native Chinese visitors I've met.

Three years ago, I visited that first Chinatown restaurant again. Due to the busy lunchtime, I shared the table with another customer, who picked "General Tso's Chicken" as his main course. Our conversation started while we waited for our meals. He asked me if the food here was authentic (tit ).I thought for a sec. ond and started telling him the story of the dish. He cocked () his ear and listened to me, like one of my students sitting in a classroom. "Wow, that's so amazing!"he said excitedly and might have forgotten the question he asked me.

Authentic?Who cares? Whether you're enjoying a plate of General Tso's Chicken or mouth-firing Sichuan hot pot,it's all Chinese cuisine and it's all delicious. American-Chinese food is an interesting part of the history and culture of Chinese immigrants in the U.S. It's a unique blend of cultures that makes it special and valuable.

1. What made Chinatown strange to the author?

[A] Its busy streets. [B] Its new location.
[C] The foreign visitors. [D] The unfamiliar food.

2. What do we know about the author?

[A] She felt terribly homesick for China.
[B] She made her name among Chinese immigrants.
[C] She gradually accepted American-Chinese food.
[D] She was proud of herself for helping Chinese visitors.

3. How did the customer react to the story told by the author?

[A] He showed great interest. [B] He argued with the author.
[C] He ordered General Tso's Chicken. [D] He shared his own food story with the author.

4. What did the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

[A] Americans often prioritize authenticity in their food.
[B] American-Chinese cuisine calls for appreciation.
[C] Chinese cuisine is a sort of window on China.
[D] Food changes with time and place.

Nowadays ultra-processed foods ( ), such as prepackaged soups, sauces, frozen pizza and ready-to-eat meals, are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience although they could bring higher risk of weight and heart problems. However,a new study has shown that eating too much ultra-pro. cessed foods could set your cognitive (il lng) abilities on the road to weakening.

The study followed over 10, o00 Brazilians for up to 10 years. Cognitive testing, including remembering words and the ability to speak smoothly, was performed at the beginning and end of the study, and subjects were asked about the food they eat and drink regularly. The researchers found people who ate over 20 % of daily calories ( ) from ultra-processed foods had a 28 % faster cognitive decline compared to those who ate less than 20 %

"The key problem is that ultra-processed foods are usually very high in sugar, salt and fat, all of which are likely to cause illness, perhaps the most major danger to healthy aging in the body and brain," said professor Rudy Tanzi. He added, \*Ultra-processed foods also replace eating food high in plant fibre (F#\*) which is particularly important for brain health and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer's disease."

Unfortunately, ultra-processed foods make up 2 5 % to 30 % of total calorie intake in daily food people eat and drink. For a person who eats 2,o00 calories a day, 20 % would mean 400 or more calories-for comparison,a small order of fries and a regular cheeseburger from fast food restaurants has a total of 530 calories.

"People need to know they should cook more and prepare their own food. We say we don't have time but it really doesn't take that much time," said Dr. Claudia Suemoto."And it's worth it because you're going to protect your heart and guard your brain from Alzheimer's disease."

5. What's the meaning of the underlined word "decline' in paragraph 2?

[A] change [B] ability [C] fall [D] development

6. What's paragraph 2 mainly about?

[A] The purpose of the study. [B] The process and result of the study.
[C] The effects of the ultra-processed foods. [D] The popularity of the ultra-processed foods.

7. What can we infer from the text about ultra-processed foods?

[A] They are the main cause of brain illness.
[B] They are the most popular foods nowadays.
[C] They make up 20 % of daily calorie intake.
[D] They don't have enough plant fibre needed for body.

8. What is the best title for the text?

[A] Delicious Home Cooking
[B] The Importance of Plant Fibre
[C] The Convenience of Ultra-processed Foods
[D] Ultra-processed Foods Leading to Worse Cognition

Labor Day is celebrated on May 1st every year. This year we Chinese have a holiday break from May 1st to May 5th. Some people are curious about when and why we started to celebrate Labor Day.

In the 19th century, overworked and exhausted laborers were fed up and demanded better treatment. In Canada, laborers marched to their Prime Minister's doorstep and asked for their right to form unions. The march was victorious. They celebrated better working conditions with an annual parade. Peter J. McGuire, an American labor leader, was invited and thought to bring that spirit to America and what a success it was.

In New York City, protesters gathered to fight against poor labor conditions. The movement quickly spread across America. Workers gathered for picnics, concerts and speeches, supporting for 8-hour work days and a labor holiday. Oregon was the first state to officially acknowledge the holiday. But it wasn't until 12,000 government forces were sent to stop a strike, and two railway workers were tragically killed that pressure increased gradually from the American workforce and Labor Day was put on the federal calendar. More than 80 countries worldwide celebrate Labor Day or International Workers' Day on May 1st. But the first Monday of September makes sense to Americans, because it falls between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day. This gives working families a much-needed break.

Fast-forward about a hundred years and the Labor Day holiday has become a kind of farewell to summer. People seem to forget the hard-won victory of Labor Day. In the USA, kids go back to school, football season starts as usual and fashion lovers hang up that little white dress. But let's remember that Labor Day is a celebration of the labor movement, dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers all over the world. It's evolved into an appreciation of life and a well-deserved break from work.

On the traditional Chinese calendar, Qingming, meaning clear and bright, falls on the fourth or fifth day of April.

Special food is served on Tomb Sweeping Day. Qingtuan with sweet fillings is one of the most popular foods. Boiled eggs are also associated with Qingming, with some areas following the tradition of egg painting.

"Qingming shows the traditional Chinese value of honoring the dead," says Zhang Bo,a secretary-general of the China Folklore Society. "We miss the dead family members.

What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do some. thing?

"One thing we've all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible," says Dr.Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology () of Sport and Exercise."As time goes by, I think you'll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set."

Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today,sub-four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.90 metres.In an event where a record is usually broken by mere inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.

One factor is now becoming more understood and popular \because sports psychology (). Getting inside the athlete's head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed. He points out that most professional teams have hired (#) sports psychologists for their players.

In addition,every aspect of athletics-training, nutrition, injury treatment-is far better than it's ever been."Besides,children today tend to master one or two sports instead of participating in several as was common twenty-five years ago," Wilmore says."That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely (), and they become much better at it."

"There's a lot we don't know yet about the human body," he adds."And one of those things is the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do."

1. Which of the following sentences will Wilmore probably agree with?

[A] Athletes will become the most famous people.
[B] Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.
[C] It is preferable to set universal standards for athletes.
[D] It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.

On Sunday, Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia shocked the running world by breaking the women's world record for the marathon by over two minutes. Assefa finished the Berlin Marathon in just 2 hours, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds.

A marathon is a 26.2-mile (42 kilometres) running race.It is a hard race. Runners must not only be fast, but they must be strong enough to keep their speed up over a very long distance (#E). Many marathon world records have been set at the Berlin Marathon. The course is mainly flat and the weather is usually comfortable for running.

But Assefa's record was far beyond what most people expected. After all, it was only her third time running a marathon."I wanted to break the marathon world record," she said."But I couldn't imagine that it would result in a time under 2:12:00."

Last March, she ran her first marathon. Then last September, she entered the Berlin Marathon. She won, and set a new women's record for the course, finishing in 2:15:37.

This year, she ran almost four minutes faster than she did last year. In both races, Assefa ran faster in the second half of the race than she did in the first half. When she finished the race, Assefa kneeled down and kissed the course before raising her arms in victory.

Though Assefa made it look easy, she said winning the race "...was the result of diligence (Wh)". Assefa was coached by Gemedu Dedefo, who has helped train many Ethiopian star runners.

Assefa also had a secret weapon (t )--her shoes. She wore special shoes made by Adidas which cost over 500$ The shoes are built so that they collect energy every time the runner lands and give a special spring as the runner's foot leaves the ground again.

1. What can we learn about marathon from the text?

After years of pounding my knees and ankles in dashes and the long jump, pain ended my decades of track and field competition. But how do you live without the adrenaline (' \*) of racing? That's simple. You just become sensible at age sixty and turn to competitive swimming! Suddenly, the pounding was gone, and so was the pain. However,in less than a month, I was fed up with pool laps and no sights. Now what?

A friend in the Annapolis Striders had the answer. This marathoner said he had stayed fit by intense walking while healing from a running injury. "Try it," he said. "It's even a competitive sport." Sure enough, a certain kind of energetic walking is a 100-year-old Olympic event called racewalking.

I took to this sport immediately. I didn't have to enter races to be a racewalker. However, those who compete must follow rules and must please numerous hard-eyed judges or be disqualified (DQ). But for me, doing it was enough.It took me many months to become smooth in the style. I had lost a sport but had found another.

Then came a disaster. Lower back pain had arrived. "Surgery is a last solution," I was told. Dr. Clifford Solomon,super-surgeon of Annapolis, Maryland, had the cure. It left me with full leg control, but a flopping ( 4s) foot. I would be able to jog, but not meet racewalk rules. By chance I tuned the TV to an old movie showing Fred Astaire dancing up a storm. From the ankle down, his feet swiveled () in the very motion I needed. I turned off the TV and went to the Senior Center.

As the only man among twenty-nine students in the tap dancing class I learned that grandmothers are programmed to care for any wounded creature. Some paid particular attention to this seventy-five-year-old patient,staying after class to guide and inspire me. With examples, humor, encouragement and advice, they taught me to tap dance. They cured my flopping foot.

Within a year, I was competing well enough to enter the USA Track and Field Nationals in Boston and break the American record for the 3,o00-meter racewalk. And now, at eighty-six, I'm still competing and often thinking of those ladies.

Parkinson's is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi,a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (#) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practiced the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (#E) and better quality of life than those who didn't. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson's.

The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson's patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practiced regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.

Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology (#1) at Queen Mary University of London, called it "an important study"the positive effects on aspects of motor (ighs) and non-motor functions are striking. However, researchers also pointed out that the number of participants in the study was relatively small, and further research is needed.

"We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of ex ercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients," he said.

5. Why was the study conducted?

[A] To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
[B] To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson's.
[C] To find a cure for Parkinson's disease.
[D] To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson's patients.

6. Which of the following is a finding of the researchers?

[A] The concentration level was lower in the Tai Chi group.
[B] Patients in the non-Tai Chi group seldom fell down.
[C] The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
[D] Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the non-Tai Chi group.

7. What does the underlined word "striking" in paragraph 3 probably mean? [A] Disappointing. [B] Demanding. [C] Challenging. [D] Amazin

8. What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce's words?

[A] It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
[B] It's impossible to improve the long-term management of patients.
[C] Tai Chi should be given more preference.
[D] Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.

Five tips for safe running

We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running,for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running is a good exercise, but it can be hard on the body. 1

Take it easy.Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed.2

Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly. 3 They may include body Iches, sore muscles and pain that do not go away.

4There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for pat. terns, things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.

Cross train ( i). As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises to combine with running._5

A. Get good running shoes.
B. Usually, there are warning signs (EyK).
C. Running may also help you live longer.
D. These exercises are easier on the body.
E. Muscles and joints (#) need time to recover ().
F. As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, "just do it." G. Here are five ideas to reduce the risk (l) injury.
